Hello,
I need to perform a complete system recovery test on our UAT servers.
Current Configurations : NEC EXpress 5800 R120e-2M
Disk Drives : 3 disks ( C:, D: and Y drive )
I tried yesterday but did not succeed.
Steps.
I made a full system backup image on drive Y: It was successful.
Boot the system using Windows 2008R2 bootable CD and select Recover System option.
Problems:
1. Windows could not recognize the disks firstly then I checked the NEC Express 5800 manual and found that I need to load the RAID drivers when Windows asks for the Load Drivers. Drivers were load successfully. It is hardware RAID implemented in the server.
Luckily, Windows detects the current installed operating system but the problem was that,
Windows detects the C: as H: when it displayed the list of installed operating.I tried next but Windows could not detect the backup image and finally gave up.
I saw that all the disks volumes changed as follows
C : drive became H:
D : drive became N:
Y : drive became L:
I am not able to understand this behavior. Appreciate if someone can please provide some insight/information for above problem.
I am stuck at this point and can not test the Windows Full System Recovery on UAT before attempting it on our Production and DR environment.
Finally I booted the server as normal and I can see C,D and Y: drives.
Thanks,
Praveen
