Please respond to list mail on the list, so others can follow along,
thanks.
Joanne kindly sent me a PDF of "Customizing the Networker Windows Disaster
ISO image" , which looks to be exactly what I need. As soon as I finish
the other restores and rebuilds they need, I will dive into this.
If you support Win2008, this should be something you need to be doing,
apparently. Make the ISO image have all needed NIC and disk (RAID) drivers

Subject: [Networker] How to add NIC drivers to NW Win 2008 DR image
I had an instructive lesson last night, somewhat unfortunately. I had to
do a DR recovery of a VMware VM; OS was Win 2008 R2, and NW version
7.6.2.
I used the bootable Win2008 recovery image that I downloaded from EMC.
That went well .. except for the fact that the image only had E1000 NIC
drivers, and I was recovering the VM from a point before we
standardized
on using the virtual E1000 NIC (we standardized for other reasons,
specifically that our Kaspersky AV liked the E1000 NIC, and not the
VMware
NIC). So the resulting image didn't have the NIC it had when the backup
was made; it only had the E1000 NIC that the recovery gave it. I was
able
to get around the problem (the old NIC was marked as "missing hardware",
and therefore hidden; MS has a utility to remove missing and hidden
devices from Windows. You run that, and it goes away. Then you can
configure the E1000 NIC - which the DR recovery created - with the IP
addressing scheme you need).
And then the trust relationship failed, and I had to remove it from the
domain and re-join. Still not sure why that happened; the SID should
have
stayed the same ...
Anyway, this (finally) got me thinking .. I need to add NIC drivers to
that NW recovery image. I have to add old VMware NICs, for situations
like
this; I have to add the HP NICs we use in our physical Win2008 boxes,
etc.
And I don't know how to do that, or where to get the drivers, and in a
form that the image requires.
Anyone know how to do this, and where to get NIC drivers? A link to a
HOWTO or - better yet - a step-by-step would be ideal.
Thanks
