For EADR Procedure (We have one server with HPE and NEW server is DELL)

Fahad Shah

Dear Support, 

I have a question below is the statement. 

I have one server HPE Gen10 ProLiant I have running servers on it Physically and I took backup`s regularly. If we need to test the same services on different hardware like DELL servers or HPE different model. Which option I need to select on BACKUP setting before doing backup. 

I am planning to test EADR on different hardware we commonly use for same server and use options like COPY RECOVERY SET TO DISK , DETECT NTFS HARDLINKS etc. 

For different hardware what option we will choose I hear about it in some video but I forgot that option. 

Thanks Please suggest!

    Hello

    The options that you need to check during backup are exactly the same than using the same hardware. For to recover in a different hardware during wizard recovery just set the right option

    • Enable Dissimilar Hardware Restore: If enabled, Data Protector scans the system for missing drivers during the recovery. The option is enabled by selecting one of the following methods from the drop-down list:

      • Unattend (default): This mode automatically configures the operating system to various hardware platforms using a predefined configuration file. This is the primary mode of recovery with dissimilar hardware. Use it in the first instance.
      • Generic: Select this if Unattend mode fails (perhaps because of a misconfiguration of the restored operating system). It is based on adapting the restored OS registry and its drivers and services to the dissimilar hardware.

    Best Regards
