• assign ip (or dhcp) enter ip and hostname into hosts file on the sesam server

Sesam Server:

• add recover as a client, make sure the connection verifies correctly 

• restore disk_info task

Replacement platform:

• /opt/sesam/bin/sesam/sbc_disk_info_restore /var/opt/sesam/var/work/disk_info/ auto

• use mount to check that volume(s) are mounted under /mnt/disk

* grub 0.97 requires 128 bit inode size on /boot volumes ( tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 | grep -i 'inode size' ) and ( mkfs -I 128 /dev/sda1 )

Sesam Server:

• restore the filesystem_all task at /mnt/disk add the expert option -a bootmgr
• check restore log for Grub installation with no errors
• It's likely that the eth0 entry in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-network-configuration needs to be removed
