Restoring an AIX client with media boot
Note:
If NetBackup access management is used in your environment, you must provide the appropriate credentials when prompted so that NetBackup can restore the client files.
An AIX boot (either network boot or media boot) may set the network interface configuration, speed, and duplex mode to auto-negotiate or 10 half duplex. This setting may cause the BMR restore to run much more slowly than expected. To achieve normal restore performance, manually set the network interface configuration through the firmware before a BMR restore.
To restore an AIX client with media boot
- Prepare to restore the client using the SRT you created on the bootable media.
- Boot the client from the boot media you created. For instructions on how to boot from a CD or from a DVD, see the IBM hardware documentation.
- The restore begins.
Enter the required information at the following BMR process prompts:
Client name (for a discovery boot, enter the client's name as it appears in the Tasks view from the prepare-to-discover operation)
Client IP address
Network mask
Default gateway
NetBackup master server name
NetBackup master server IP address
NetBackup master server gateway IP address
