Abstract: A conversion system for converting a source disk image supporting a first hardware configuration into a target disk image supporting a second and different hardware configuration. The conversion system includes a first server that mounts the source disk image as a target disk drive, a repository that stores information and files useful for supporting the second hardware configuration, a rules library that facilitates conversion of hardware specific attributes in accordance with an external introspection process (EIP), and a conversion engine executed on the first server and interfaced with the repository and the rules library. The conversion engine performs the EIP by examining the source disk image on the target disk drive to determine modifications to convert to the target disk image.

Abstract: A system and method for regeneration of certain on disk dynamic control blocks for the file system after failure of access to the control blocks improves auxiliary disk storage system robustness. Regeneration of the dynamic control blocks is achieved without persistent replicas of the blocks on disk and thereby adheres to prior art disk formats. The regeneration control blocks are preferably used to support file system operation during backup of the disk, since loss of access to critical sectors for storing control blocks may portend disk storage system failure.
