Re: Disaster Recovery to Dissimilar Hardware
Can you list what Array Controller and Server Model you are coming from and what you "might" have to go to?
The NIC can be a driver issue but can be handled after the O/S is up... easy

Re: Disaster Recovery to Dissimilar Hardware
Look at the extracts of the drivers that are loaded from the CCISS drivers;
Driver Class: 5x & 6x drivers:
This set will work on the 5i, 6i, 641/642 and 6400 series. These will be Ultra3 & Ultra320 running 64bit
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/support/files/storage/us/download/20313.html
Driver Class: SMART-2, 431 & 4200 Drivers:
This set will work on the SMART-2 / LC-2, 431 and 4200 series. These will be Ultra2 and Ultra3 running 32bit.
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/support/files/storage/us/download/17750.html
So... with that info, you can assume that if the original system was built and running a 32bit controller at the time of the crash/recovery (This also includes the Non-RAID 32bit SCSI Controllers also) that you will "Blue Screen" if installing to a 64bit controller... and vice versa.
It may not be feasable for your shop, but if you try to standardize on the hardware you deploy, then you will have less of these issues. In the end, it is all about planning and good backups.

Re: Disaster Recovery to Dissimilar Hardware
probably bad form replying to a very old posting but I have breaking news for you.
Finally, there are 3 products that will do exactly what you ask :)
(1) Cristie Bare Machine Recovery (CBMR) - have tested this & it works .. within limits. Integrates with Tivoli TSM to give an end to end DR solution. Pretty good idea.
(2) Veritas Bare Metal Recovery, requires Veritas Netbackup. Tested this with support from Veritas in shape of an engineer onsite. Spent 2 days and couldn't get it to work. It might work but it is mightly complicated.
(3) Symantec Livestate 4 with dissimilar hardware restore option. This also works, looks very good, but is still in pre-beta testing. No release date as yet. No indication of whether it integrates with any Enterprise backup solutions.
All the best
Ed

Re: Disaster Recovery to Dissimilar Hardware
Livestate Recovery version 6 (LSR6) recovers OS to dissimilar hardware. Its image based and therefore fast, when the images have been recovered to a suitable diskspace.
Products supports the provision of custom / OEM HAL.DLL files i.e. HP/Compaq, & 3rd party SCSI drivers etc, all the low level ring 0 stuff that is required to get Windows to boot. After that you can just use the SmartStart CDs to supply all your other drivers.
LSR6 is now available in shrinkwrap! BTW I don't work for Symantec, Veritas or a 3rd party reseller of this product. Check it out.
