Hello, can you provide further details regarding your problem? The network boot requires both client and boot server reside on same subnet for solaris, does this hold true in your setup? If so, ensure there are no other servers responding to your client boot request, maybe a jumpstart server on your network.

For Solaris, the boot server has to be in the same subnet as the client.

from the BMR manual (7.5)

Thanks for responce. what you trying to tell me is excellent but I would like to clarify many things about it but recently i need to know if i prepare one of the physical Solaris machine in side that subnet , so is it will be possible to restore the client to earlier time as one month ago without any problems. the second thing is there are any limitation to register one of the clients to be BMR boot server if this client added to the BMR system as aclient? it will not affect it's main task?

if the Solaris server already added to the BMR system(netbackup 7.5) as client so the bmr software is already preinstalled .Right? what i need is to register then create SRT.

For relay boot server I think i need to read it very well to check if it may solve this issue.

Regards,

Please see my responses inline,

 Q. so is it will be possible to restore the client to earlier time as one month ago without any problems.

JRP... This is possible as long as the client had BMR enabled within the policy at the time of this backup.

Q. the second thing is there are any limitation to register one of the clients to be BMR boot server if this client added to the BMR system as aclient? it will not affect it's main task?

JRP......If the client is going to be a BootServer, you have to then utilize media boot option if you ever had to recover this host as it will be unavailable to host network boots.

Q. if the Solaris server already added to the BMR system(netbackup 7.5) as client so the bmr software is already preinstalled .Right? what i need is to register then create SRT.

JRP......The BootServer software is there on your client supported OSs, "bmrsetupboot -register" must be ran so the host assumes the role of a BootServer, no addtl software is required. To create your SRT, you will need the solaris install media, NetBackup client install sw, as well as NetBackup client patch software, the level used to backup your client is suggested.....ie 7.5.0.X.

After you have the required software available to you and have registered the BootServer, you can run bmrsrtadm on the new BootServer/client to begin creating your SRT.
