Server (DC & other roles) hardware migration. Raid drivers issue

  • 1.  Server (DC & other roles) hardware migration. Raid drivers issue

    Posted Jun 12, 2009 08:05 AM
    Hello All,

    I hope someone can help me.

    I need to migrate Server 2003 to a new hardware. Due to the fact it's a DC (+other roles) and also has installed legacy applications that I'm not able to reinstall again, I have to use Ghost (we have GSS 2.5).
    As the original box is really old, the raid controllers and other hardware is different.

    Is there a supported way or any good way to inject RAID controller drivers to ghost image file or already imaged system?

    Thanks,
    tommy

    Not really but you can use GSS 2.5 Deploy anywhere (DA) feature. You can deploy your old image to the new machine and in the clone task specify that you want to use DA after the clone. Ghost will then after image restore, retarget your NIC, storage drivers together with HAL and CPU. Other drivers (plug-n-play) Windows will install by itself on the first boot.
