I'm using CommVault Simpana's 1-touch bare metal restore software to restore from a backup of a physical HPE ProLiant DL580 G7 with Microsoft Server 2008 R2, to a Cisco UCS B200 M4 blade.
I've done many bare metal restores with CommVault in the past, mostly on Dell servers, and either restoring to other Dell servers or into VMware.
The HPE server has a boot LUN on an HP EVA SAN. The Cisco UCS blade also has its LUN on the HP EVA.
During the restore I choose the correct Network and Storage drivers and it completes successfully. When I boot up the server after restore I get one of two things:
If I try to do a Startup Repair:
Windows Boot Manager screen, Status: 0xc000000e, Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.
If I try to boot into Windows:
I get a BSOD, with STOP error of 0x0000007B.
I've booted into a Windows 2008 R2 ISO, and then I have to click on the Load Drivers button and select the correct driver for it to see the OS. I choose the OS and go into my Recovery Options.
I've tried running a chkdsk. I've tried numerous Windows repair utilities, such as bootrec/fixboot, bootrec/fixmbr, bootrec/rebuildbcd, etc, and now of it works.
I try to boot into safe mode, and it gets as far as loading \windows\system32\drivers\bfad_up.sys.
I've read some forums that talk about loading the hive from regedit, while booted into the Windows ISO, and modifying certain settings if you're going from one type of server to another, but none that mention going from HPE to Cisco UCS.
