Physical linux server bmr restore to onapp vm

Common physical disk server is multiply partitions e.g. at list /boot is own partition than onapp supports only one simple partiton per disk with no swap. So if you preform MBR recovery regular way it will not boot. Solution is update disk layout during recovery.

So when rear asks you to confirm disklayout.conf select edit option:

and update file like on example from:

to:

This way rear create only one simple single that onapp able to recognize. Onapp also has buggy support of ext4 so if your onapp does not recognize ext4 patiton aftere recovery you can change it to ext3 similar way.

That after recovery is done you need update grub.conf and fstab. Restored system is mounted to /emnt/local so it's /mnt/locat/boot/grub/grub.conf and /mnt/locat/etc/fstab files.

grub.conf from like on example:

to:

You also can edit that files in onapp recovery mode. After that manipulations VM should be booted regular way no problems.
