However, during the image restore, Ghost reports:

[root@imagemobility ~]# /usr/local/bin/ghost -CLONE,MODE=RESTORE,SRC=/mnt/COS/3a548acf/cf1f67dac/7ce9a4e4a36c.gho,DST=1 -szeL -SURE -BLIND 2>&1

 

Environment

Release: GSS 3.3

Resolution

The source server's boot mode is UEFI but the target server's boot mode was Legacy BIOS.  After changing the target server's boot mode to UEFI, the Ghost RESTORE completed without error.
