Creating boot media for UNIX and Linux
On UNIX and Linux systems, use the bmrsrtadm command to create a bootable CD/DVD image that contains an SRT. After you create the CD/DVD image, you must use CD/DVD writing software to burn the image onto a CD/DVD.
This process copies an existing SRT to the CD/DVD media; therefore, an SRT that supports the client must exist.
The following is the required information:
The name of the SRT you want to use.
The name to use for the SRT on the CD/DVD.
The path to a directory that has enough free space to store the CD/DVD image.
To create boot media for UNIX and Linux
- On Solaris systems only, use the following command to verify that the vold process is not running on the boot server where the SRT resides:
# ps -ef | grep vold
If it is running, do the following:
To eject any CD/DVD that may be loaded, run the following command
# eject
To stop the vold process, run the following command
# /etc/init.d/volmgt stop
- On the boot server on which the SRT resides, change to the following directory:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin - Run the following command:
./bmrsrtadm
- When you are prompted, select the option to create a new CD/DVD image-based shared resource tree.
- Continue by referring to the information about the operating system.
