There are restrictions in the way hard drives can be duplicated using duplication software, such as
Symantec Ghost, once a virtual appliance is installed. Hard drive cloning through software means is
only possible for same sized hard drives. This is because of the LVMM and the way it boots.
•
A system with a VA installation cannot swap out its booting hard drive with another hard drive. The
hash check will fail and the system will not boot.
•
VA 2.0 appliances on the dc7700p systems require the 2.0.1 LVMM hotfix from Intel. Without this hot-
fix, the following symptoms may be seen:
• Failure to load LVMM with error code of 0x81.
• Failure to load Windows XP with the KB909095 Microsoft patch applied (or other patches
that update NTOSKRNL.EXE to a version greater than 5.1.2600.2774). This patch is included
in the preinstall image shipping with the dc7700p.
• Failure to resume from S3.
