About SANs and dissimilar system restores on Windows clients
The following information applies only to Windows clients.
If you perform a dissimilar system restore on Windows and you want to restore to a SAN disk, you must do the following:
Add the HBA drivers to the restore configuration. The HBA drivers can be added the same way as any other mass storage device driver.
Reconfigure your SAN so that the HBA in the target system sees the same devices as the HBA that existed in the source system.
More information is available on adding drivers.
