Specifying the UNIX and Linux boot interface

UNIX and Linux clients must use a single network interface to boot from and to restore through. The Bootable column in the Network Interfaces dialog box shows the interface that is configured as the boot interface. If your restore configuration includes more than one network interface, you can specify which one to use for the restore.

Table: Bootable network interfaces helps you to determine the correct interface.

Table: Bootable network interfaces

Platform or hardware type	Bootable network interface(s)
AIX	Integrated Ethernet, Ethernet card, or token ring Note the following about the network interfaces on AIX: Only chrp hardware is supported. Booting the RS/6000 from a network adapter requires support in the system firmware.
HP-UX	Integrated Ethernet only
Linux	Any Ethernet device
Solaris	Any Ethernet device

To specify the UNIX and Linux boot interface

In the New Network Information window of the Network Interfaces property sheet, right-click the interface that you want to use as the boot interface.
Select Change from the shortcut menu.
In the Map or Change Interface dialog box, click Bootable.
Click OK.

Note:

In case target hardware is booted using different network Interface for recovery than the one shown as Bootable in BMR client configuration, then recovery may fail
