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:

To start the bmrsrtadm command

  1. 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

    



    

    3. 


  3. 

    Run the following
command:
    


    ./bmrsrtadm

    When you are prompted,
select the option to create a new CD/DVD image based shared
resource tree.
