Recover from a blue screen on boot after BMR

If you are performing a physical-to-virtual (P2V) operation with the PowerProtect Data Manager Bare Metal Recovery Wizard, the Restore physical host to virtual host (P2V) option might appear. If you do not select it, BMR succeeds but the target host boots with a blue screen.

About this task

In rare circumstances, network connectivity issues can prevent the BMR wizard from detecting if a target host is virtual or physical. If no confirmation is given, certain registry entries are not modified to the values required for a virtual host.

To correct the situation, perform the following actions:

Steps

  1. Boot the target host with the WinPE image.
  2. From the command-line window, run diskpart and list volumes to identify the current drive letter for the original system drive.
  3. Run ddfsrc.exe -h DFA_SI_DR_PATCH_REG_PATH="C:\Windows", replacing C: with the drive letter obtained in step 2.
  4. Restart the host.

Next steps

The target host boots without a blue screen.
