System Restored Using UEFI or Legacy Boot Modes (codes 2056, 2057)

Situation

A bare metal restore plan finishes with one of the following warnings: System restored using UEFI boot mode (code 2056) or System restored using Legacy boot mode (code 2057)

Cause

During bare metal restore you can see one of the following warnings:

1. To ensure compatibility of the restored system, change the boot mode in the BIOS to UEFI. Click Yes to change the boot mode now. Click No to change it later.
2. To ensure compatibility of the restored system, change the boot mode in the BIOS to Legacy. Click Yes to change the boot mode now. Click No to change it later.

These warnings indicate that the boot mode of the restored system does not match the boot mode of the restore media.

Solution

We recommend updating the boot mode in the system BIOS to ensure compatibility and a successful restore.

• If you have selected "Yes": The boot mode will be changed automatically to match the requirements. After the change, rerun the bare metal restore process.
• If you select "No": You will need to manually change the boot mode in the BIOS later to proceed with the restore. You can do it when the restore is complete.
