About adding NIC and MSD drivers

This section is applicable only for Windows operating system.

The DSR configuration must include the NIC drivers and the MSD drivers that the target system requires.

The target system drivers were added to the packages pool when you performed one of the procedures to discover configurations.

The drivers are available to add to the DSR configuration.To add drivers, select them in the Available drivers window of the configuration's Drivers dialog box. Then add them to the Drivers to be used during restore window.

If you have added the drivers to the packages pool using the following methods, the driver description includes the name of the target system:

  • By saving the target system's configuration

  • By extracting the drivers from the target system

The driver description helps identify which drivers are required for the target system. Also, remove any drivers from the DSR configuration that the protected system uses and the target system does not.

Note:

Only TCP/IP properties are restored. Other networking properties, such as Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX), are not restored and must be configured after the restore.
