Environment
Situation
During a Test Failover or Failover the Linux Access Gateway does not start as expected. fdisk -l output from the target VM will look similar to the following:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 9 72261 83 Linux
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2 9 814 6463742+ 83 Linux
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda3 814 1465 5226073+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 1465 1727 2104515 82 Linux swap / Solaris
The fdisk -l output from the source workload will look similar to the following:
/dev/hda1 1 131 65992+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 132 3252 1572984 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda3 3253 38753 17892504 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 3253 13655 5243080+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda6 13656 24058 5243080+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda7 24059 38753 7406248+ 68 Unknown
Resolution
2. Add the source workload to PlateSpin Protect, using an incremental replication. This will allow for the existing target VM to be used.
