NetBackup™ Bare Metal Restore Administrator's Guide

Setting up a BMR boot server

Use the following procedure to set up a BMR boot server on an existing NetBackup system.

Note:

Before you configure a BMR Boot server on a NetBackup host, make sure that the NetBackup host is configured with the NetBackup primary server. Refer to the NetBackup Administrator's Guide for registering the NetBackup client with the NetBackup primary server.

To register a BMR boot server

  1. Navigate to the directory where NetBackup is installed.

    UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin

    Windows: c:\program files\veritas\netbackup\bin

  2. Run the following command on the boot server host:

    bmrsetupboot -register

After you run the command, you can see the boot server name in the NetBackup web UI: Bare Metal Restore > Hosts > Boot Servers. This command starts the BMR Boot server daemon running.
