About external procedure error handling

By default, external procedures halt the restore process and await user action if the procedure returns a non-zero return code.

For UNIX and Linux restores, the following menu appears:

What do you want to do next? Choices are:
a) Abort the restore.
r) Retry the external procedure again.
i) Ignore the error and continue the restore.
s) Escape to shell prompt, return here when done.

If you retry, a prompt asks if you want to transfer the external procedure again from the BMR server before you run it. The prompt lets you edit the external procedure on the master server before you run it again.

Note:

When a UNIX first boot external procedure is started with no terminal defined and the procedure returns non-zero, the Bare Metal Restore process ends.

For Windows restores, a dialog box appears with the following choices:

Cancel halts the restore.
Try Again starts the external procedure again.
Continue ignores the error and continues with the restore.

If you try again, a prompts asks if you want to transfer the external procedure again from the BMR server before you run it. The prompt lets you edit the external procedure on the master server before you run it again.
