Help Cloning from Perc 4 to Perc 5 controller
I have a Windows 2003 Server (x32) R2 running on a Dell Poweredge 2600. The server is tired. Just received a Poweredge 2970 with lots of RAM etc. Is there an easy way to clone the 2600 and then install the (Norton Ghost) image over to the 2970 and actually have the image recognize that it needs to use a different driver for the SCSI Perc Subsystem? Last time I copied an IDE to a SCSI, was with XP and I ended up doing a repair from the XP CD, but since my original 2003 CD is SP1 and the 2600 has SP2, I'm hesitant to do such. I've never used Sysprep and it sound like it leaves the master machine in a state "ready to install new devices". I don't want ANY changes made to the original 2600 in case the clone doesn't work. Suggestions are most welcome. You'd think one would be able to copy the drivers somewhere over to the machine to be copied and then somehow edit the clone before boot such that it knows to look for the new drivers. The 2600 is running a PERC 4 SCSI subsystem and the new 2970 is running a PERC 5. I am using BART PE with Ghost 11. Someone help me out here. I've read web info until I'm blue and see no obvious easy answer. THANKS !
