Installing SCSI and IDE device drivers on a physical machine

If you are using the Linux®-based Plug-in Offline Client and you are migrating a physical server to a virtual environment in which the Client is Windows®-based, you must install the disk drivers on the OS before you back up the machine. The restored virtual machine does not boot up because the restored image contains SCSI/IDE drivers for the source physical machine. The restored virtual machine does not have the drivers for the target virtual machine SCSI/IDE controller. This issue causes a blue screen error and the boot fails, as it cannot find any disks.
The solution is to create the “.inf” file that informs the Windows installer to load the appropriate drivers to the system and make correct registry entries every time Windows boots. Installation of the “.inf” file is required prior backing up the physical machine so that after the restore, the correct driver is loaded and detects the VMware IDE/SCSI controller.
“vm_ide_2008.inf”: IDE device driver for Windows Server 2008 and 2012/2012 R2
“vm_lsi_2008.inf”: SCSI device driver for Windows Server 2008/2008 R2 and 2012/2012 R2

Copy the required device driver (for example, “vm_ide_2008.inf”) to the physical machine.
