WORKAROUND
The RMAD backups contain this setting, so the drives must be fixed manually if it is happening during an ongoing forest restore.
1. Reboot into Directory services repair mode
2. Open diskmgmt.msc and manually set all the drives to "Online"
3. Reboot normally, at which point the forest restore should continue.
To repair this behavior for future backups, do the following for each DC being backed up:
1. Log in to the domain controllers affected
2. Open a command prompt as Administrator
3. Run the following command to check the policy:
> diskpart
> san
If the SAN policy is enabled, this will return:
4. Change the policy if required:
> diskpart
> san policy=OnlineAll
5. Future RMAD backups will now have this setting included.
STATUS
Enhancement ID RMADFE-3102 has been submitted to change drive online/offline behavior when booting into DSRM and will be included in a future release of Recovery Manager for Active Directory.
