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.
To media boot an HP-UX client, do the following.

- Prepare to restore the client using the SRT you created on the bootable media.
- Insert the bootable CD or bootable DVD into the CD-ROM drive.
- Boot the client to restore.
- When you are prompted, press the Space bar to stop the normal boot process.
- Search for the location and name of the CD-ROM drive.
The search utility may be useful to determine this information.
