booting from a cloned hard on a laptop
Hi, I cloned a linux CentOS hard drive of a server PC which included a LVM. Then I connected my external hard to the usb port of my laptop. I wanted to boot my laptop from the CentOS of external hard so i could use the programs which were installed on PC.So I restarted the laptop and press F11 button to select the desired OS. I can see the CentOS of external hard but when select it the following message appears: ========================================= Booting 'CentOS (2.6.18-308.24.1.e15)' root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-308.24.1.e15 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1e00, size=0x1cf514] initrd /initrd 0 0x37e62000, 0x18d36e bytes] Memory for crash kernel (0x0 to 0x0) notwithin permissible range Red Hat nash version 5.1.19.6 starting unable to access resume device (/dev/VolGroop00/LogVol101) mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root' setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! ============================================ by the way, when i log in to windows of my laptop and use Virtual Box, i can mount both boot and lvm partition of external hard and i can see the content of lvm and the programs of my interest.but i cant run the programs. Thanks in advance
Linux CENTOS compatibility with SSR 2011 Linux Edition.
Hello Guys, I have never really used Linux. I just installed the Red Hat Enterprise 5.2 in order to have a view of the interface and learn how to navigate. I have installed SSR 2011 Linux edition. A client has Linux CENTOS 5 and is about to purchase SSR 2011 Linux edition. I found out that the CENTOS is a flavor of RedHat. I need to know if the SSR 2011 will work and if there are any differences between the CENTOS and the Red Hat i installed. thanx.
using rhel5 SRD, some linux beginner help please.
Hi All, My first post here. Please be gentle. I have not used any linux backup/recovery tools before, but I have been trialing Symantec's System Recovery 2011. I have a few questions and would appreciate a little help please. 1. Created a new VM, then used the customSRD I created (following Symantec's Instructions). However, when I try to take the next step and use the "besr" commandI just get "command not found". Surely I do not have to manually install Backup Exec System Recovery Tool on the new target machine? Do I? Shouldn't this be included in the SRD already? Just for clarification. The besr tool was already installed on the source machine and had been used to create a backup of one LVM with no problems. 2. I would like some clarification on a setup using mutiple disks and LVMs. Do I have to take a separate backup of each LVM rather than use some "magic" option that said "Backup the whole system". I think I know the answer, but worth a try. Assuming a simple example. I have 5 LVMs on the source machine, each using 20GB. On the target VM machine I create one disk of 100GB. If I have 5 v2i files for each of the source LVMs how do I restore these when there would be no target LVMs setup? I am really hoping I do not have to manually start creating disk partitions and/or LVMs (this would be pushing my linux skills over the top). Thanks a lot for any help. Pete.

Hello, The documentation, Backup Exec System Recovery Linux 2010supports Redhat up to version 5.3.I use Linux 5.4, and I tested installing SRL withthe server withoutany problems. When I try to create SRD I got a message about unsupported system, Is there away to createSRD to unsupported systems. Thanks.
