When to use boot media
The BMR restore process begins by booting the client (using the network boot) from a BMR boot server or from BMR prepared boot media (CD, DVD, or floppy). If you use a network boot to begin the restore, boot media is not required.
If you have minimal network connectivity or have any restriction of not deploying network-based recovery required services (viz. DHCP or TFTP) then Cohesity recommends using the boot media that contains a shared resource tree
Note:
Once BMR Media SRT is created, BMR bootserver is not required during the recovery.
More information is available about boot media and procedures for creating boot media. Refer chapter Managing boot media for details.
