Veritas NetBackup™ Bare Metal Restore™ Administrator's Guide

Creating SRT on an offline boot server or host

A NetBackup client that is not be registered as a boot server to the BMR master server, or a boot server that is unable to communicate with the BMR master server is considered as a master-less or offline boot server. Create, export and delete SRT operations are only allowed in case of master-less boot server, as BMR SRT operations require Microsoft's ADK to be available. In case of unavailability of internet connection on host or boot server, you can install ADK on a temporary boot server, which can be master-less, create a new SRT and export it to the host. This SRT can be imported on any other registered boot server thereby eliminating the need of ADK installation on those boot servers without internet connectivity. Refer section Importing the SRT autimatically.
