Deactivating BMR boot server

Deactivate a BMR boot server by using the following procedure.

To deactivate a BMR boot server

  1. Log on as the root user to the BMR boot server host.
  2. Run the following command on BMR boot server to de-register it.

    \usr\openv\netbackup\bin\bmrsetupboot -deregister

    For example on Windows, run

    c:\program files\veritas\netbackup\bin\bmrsetupboot -deregister

    On UNIX/Linux run

    \usr\openv\netbackup\bin\bmrsetupboot -deregister

On successful execution of the command, the boot server instance is not visible in NetBackup Administrator Console: NetBackup Administrator > BMR Menu > Boot server. De-registering command stops the BMR Boot server daemon running.

Note:

BMR Boot server deactivation does not remove SRTs hosted by the BMR Boot server. The SRTs will exist in case they need to be imported by another BMR Boot server or the same Boot server if enabled again in the future. On de-registering BMR boot server on windows, BMR PXE and TFTP services will be removed along with BMR boot server service.
