Users Guide

For example, if /dev/sda2 is the root volume, then type mount /dev/sda2 /mnt and then press Enter.
b. To mount the boot volume, type the following command and then press Enter:
mount /<restored volume[boot]> /mnt/boot
For example, if /dev/sda1 is the boot volume, then type mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot and then press Enter.
NOTE: Some system configurations may include the boot directory as part of the root volume.
2. If the volume size is increasing — that is, if the destination volume on the new Linux machine is larger than the volume was
in the recovery point — then you must delete any existing bitmap data files.
3. Obtain the Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) of the new volumes by using the blkid command. Type the following and
then press Enter:
blkid [volume]
NOTE: You can also use the ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid command.
4. If performing a BMR on a brand new disk on the destination machine, comment out the swap partition in fstab in your root
volume.
5. Modifying fstab and mtab paths should occur on the restored volume, not the Live DVD. There is no need to modify paths on
the Live DVD. Prepare for the installation of Grand Unified Bootloader (GRUB) by typing the following commands. Following
each command, press Enter:
mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
6. Change root directory by typing the following command and then press Enter:
chroot /mnt /bin/bash
7. Obtain the old UUID of the partition or partitions from the mounted recovery points /etc/fstab file and compare it to the
UUIDs for the root (for Ubuntu and CentOS), boot (for CentOS and RHEL), or data partitions by typing the following
command and then press Enter:
less /mnt/etc/fstab
8. Obtain the old UUID of the partition or partitions from the mounted recovery points /etc/mtab file and compare it to the
UUIDs for the root (for Ubuntu and CentOS), boot (for CentOS and RHEL), and data partitions by typing the following
command and then press Enter:
less /mnt/etc/mtab
9. If using SLES 11, install GRUB by typing the following commands, pressing Enter after each:
grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
grub-install /dev/sda
10. If using Ubuntu, CentOS 6.x, RHEL 6.x, or Oracle Linux 6.x, install GRUB by typing the following command, and then press
Enter:
grub-install /dev/sda
