Troubleshooting: Unable to Boot from the Catalogic vStor Disk Image

It is known that the Catalogic vStor disk image which is based on AlmaLinux 8 may fail to boot if you are using some motherboards. In this case, try the following workaround:

1. Assume that the drive letter for the removable media was E:\; go to the folder in the removable media: E:\EFI\BOOT.

2. Delete the following files:

   • BOOTX64.EFI

   • BOOTIA32.EFI

   Rename the following files:

   • grubx64.efi ► BOOTX64.EFI

   • grubia32.efi ► BOOTIA32.EFI

Tip. Alternatively, you can use the command-line interfaces in most operating systems. In Microsoft PowerShell, for example, use the following commands: PS> cd E:\EFI\BOOT\ # Change the drive letter “E:” when you need. PS> mv grubx64.efi BOOTX64.EFI PS> mv grubia32.efi BOOTIA32.EFI

Carefully repeat the installation instructions in the previous section. If you cannot install Catalogic vStor from the disk image even after trying the workaround, contact Catalogic Software Data Protection Technical Support.
