Restore the Backup to the VHBA LUN Volume

  1. Install the xt_init_depth.sh script on the Oracle Fabric Interconnect before attempting SAN boot.
  2. Format the newly added VHBA LUN and make it an active partition.

    It is assumed the drive letter for the LUN will be h. If it is not, you must modify the fixbcd.cmd and fixregistry.cmd files used in Step 15 and Step 16.

  3. On the Windows host, start Windows Server Backup from Admin Tools.
  4. Select Local Backup.
  5. In the Actions panel, double-click Recover.
  6. Select where you want the backup stored, and click Next.
  7. (Optional) Specify the host and path where the backup is located, and click Next.
  8. Select Files and folders and click Next.
  9. Select the System Reserved folder and click Next.
  10. Select Another location and click Browse.
  11. Browse to the VHBA LUN volume, select it, and click OK.
  12. Click Next, confirm the operation, and then click Recover.

    The recovery progress is displayed.

  13. When the recovery completes, click Close.
  14. Repeat Step 4 through Step 12 to recover the C: folder.
  15. As the admin user of the Windows host, open a command window.
  16. Edit the boot configuration data for the SAN boot volume.

    Note -  If the VHBA LUN drive letter is not h, you must modify the fixbcd.cmd file to accommodate the actual VHBA LUN drive letter.

  17. Update the registry settings for the SAN boot volume.

    Note -  If the VHBA LUN drive letter is not h, you must modify the fixregistry.cmd file to accommodate the actual VHBA LUN drive letter.
