Check GRUB identifiers when Site Recovery reports error 95320

Source facts

Site Recovery error 95320 identifies GRUB configurations whose root or resume parameters use device names instead of UUIDs. Microsoft’s guidance requires UUIDs because device names can change when the VM restarts, creating a risk at failover. Its documented correction first obtains each device’s UUID and then substitutes the corresponding identifier in the boot configuration before retrying protection. Microsoft Learn.

Applicability

Investigate this specific error for a Linux source machine being protected with Site Recovery. Confirm the relevant bootloader configuration and actual device mapping; do not apply a copied UUID or assume that another machine has the same storage layout.

DSE recommendation

Have the Linux owner review a mapping from every affected root or resume reference to its intended device and UUID. Preserve the current boot configuration and agree on recovery access before making an approved correction. Keep the change narrowly tied to the reported references rather than combining it with unrelated storage or bootloader restructuring.

Verification

Validate that each proposed identifier resolves to the intended device and that the applicable boot configuration contains the approved values. Use a controlled restart and recovery test appropriate to the machine before relying on the change operationally. Retry the protection workflow and inspect whether the original error is resolved. Retain the mapping and outcome, without claiming that removal of this one error establishes complete disaster-recovery readiness.
