Intel S5500BC Motherboard onboard NIC not found
HI, After our server hardware became unstable we have purchased new Intel Server with S5500BC motherboard. Everything seems to work OK but the SR Restore Disk cannot find the NIC adapter/s on the new system! We are backing up to a Seagate BlackArmor NAS and that side is fine. I just need to connect over the network to be able to do the restore. Running win2003 SBS domain controller with C and D Raid Drives. The existing motherboard is also Intel. I thought that the SRD was old so I downloaded the latest version. No change! The Intel Pro100/1000 drivers are on the SRD so I have no idea what the problem is!! I read somewhere that there was a problem restoring to systems with multiple NICs but we have restored the existing system twice already and it has two onboard NICs. I thought that I would be OK with Intel system but have drawn a blank on this one. Existing system is limping and I need to migrate very soon. Regards, Rudd
BESR 8.5 Restore - NO CD DRIVE
Hi, Sure this a noob question, but need to ask anyway. I have completed a few restores to dissimilar hardware but have encountered the same issue for 2like servers recently - Dell 2970 restored too from older HP servers - everything came back up fine - however I no longer have access to a cd drive. The Dells are sata scsiraid perc6i - the cd/dvd is seen in BIOS and I can boot from it - but it is not seen in Windows 2k3 R2 Server OS when loaded.. Dell, so far, are at a loss - drivers reinstalled - sata connections pulled/uninstalled/hardware detected etc to no avail. I have removed drives and checked OEM manufacturer for drives etc, again still no results. no joy in disk manager either. Final note: the hardware manager shows an error in "other devices" RAID Controller but no errors seen in drive categories
BESR 2010 - Baremetal Restore (Disimilar Hardware)
HiAll, BESR 2010, Windows 2008 SP1 X64, Exchange 2007SP1 6 Physical Disks, RAID-1 x 2Physical Disk each, 3 Volumes Presented to Windows, C: , D: , E: , Installed BESR2010 and successfully took the whole backup on a External USB Drive The Test Box is not a proper server but a new Core2QUAD box which has been used for successful restores in the past. Now, when I did the restore on the test box, it restored fine and it boots But after initial it shows "Please wait while windows sets up your computer" It will stay on the screen for a while and then it looks as if its loading windows as it changes from black screen to like the setup screen then a message appears "Please wait while windows continues setting up your computer" It will then stay on the above screen / message for a quite a while, then a message appears windows was unable to setup, please restart windows to re-install. --- Now, Ihad another BESRImage of another machine (Just plain windows 2008 server with no roles) ; when I restored this one on the same machine, after the above messages, excluding the restarting message , it gets me to the login screen and after logging in it does SYSPREP. May be thats why the server image is failing as it has exchange on it and it won't just sysprep or have errrors. How can I backup and in restore anywhere not to include sysprep. Kind regardscustom srd doesn't pass driver validation
I downloaded and created an srd (Symantec Recovery Disk). Then i ran driver validation and i have 2 missing drivers. The detailed file is: The following devices do not have drivers in the Symantec Recovery Disk. Packet Scheduler Miniport Teefer2 Miniport A detailed information about these devices is given below Description : Packet Scheduler Miniport Class : Net Class Guid : {4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} Hardware Id : ms_pschedmp Hardware Id : ms_pschedmp ---------------------------------- Description : Teefer2 Miniport Class : Net Class Guid : {4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} Hardware Id : symc_teefer2mp Hardware Id : symc_teefer2mp Hardware Id : symc_teefer2mp Hardware Id : symc_teefer2mp Hardware Id : symc_teefer2mp ---------------------------------- i tried to make a custom srd by the BESR software (version 8.5) , and after the custom srd is ready i ran a driver validation with this cd and got the same results... i have the same problem with all 3 comuters in my workgroup. can anyone tell me what's wrong ? thank you.
SRS 6.5 Perc 3/di PowerEdge 2650
I'm trying to do a test restore of a PowerEdge 2650 MS2003 Exchange Server to another PowerEdge 2650 with a Perc 3/di raid controller, and the raid disk I've created does not show up in the disk/partition manager, and I cannot perform the restore. I seem to recall having a consulting client with a similar issue that required Symantec sending out a new ISOwith the required drivers. Can someone please contact me to get this done, or provide me with an alternate solution? I've been using this copy of SRS to provide this backup capability for my exchange server for a year or so now, and was not happy to find out I could not restore the machine to another piece of identical hardware. Thanks, Jason
Seek Error but recovering to Virtual!!
Hi All, I am recovering an image of a server to a VM and it fails right at the end with: Error EA39002E: Seek Error. I looked for this online and found two technotes in relation to this issue with 6.x but I am using ver 8.5 Also I am recovering to Virtual so the driver shouldn't be an issue. The difference between this technote (http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/293205.htm) and my issue is that I am not being prompted for the drivers! Any ideas? Cheers, GillyBESR Cannot Access Network Drive
I have booted to the recovery disk and when I try to map a network drive I can access only one computer one the network (a win2000 box) all the XP machines and the 2003 Server are not available either through the tree view or the UNC path names. Any ideas or solutions? Thanks.
