After the clients and D2D devices have been configured, create a bare metal boot CD for each client which is bare metal aware. The bare metal boot media is created using the backup system’s console interface. For physical systems, connect to the backup system console. For virtual systems, connect to the backup system VM within your hypervisor.
1 From the backup system’s console interface menu, enter option 4 for Advanced Options, then 1 for Bare Metal Media Creation.
2 On the Bare Metal support screen, type 2, in the Please enter choice field for Cold Bare Metal Media.
3 Select the client for which a bare metal backup needs to be done.
4 In the Is the root disk on the client IDE? [Default is NO] field, enter one of the following:
• Leave this blank or type N to indicate the root disk on the client is SCSI.
• Type Y to indicate the root disk on the client is IDE.
5 Enter the Network Gateway of the client.
6 Enter 255.255.255.0 in the Netmask field.
7 In the Is there a firewall between the client and System? field, enter Y to indicate there is a firewall or N to indicate there is not a firewall.
8 In the Do you want your Cold Bare Metal backup to start automatically when booting from the CD that you have created? field, enter Y to start the backup automatically or N if you do not want the backup to start automatically.
The creation of the ISO begins automatically.
9 Once the ISO has been created, map the share on which the ISO was created and burn the ISO to a CD. The following prompt appears, telling you the location of the ISO and how to access it: The CD (baremetal-<client_name>.iso) has been created. Please map the CIFS share \\<DPU_IP>\baremetals to access and burn the ISO.
