However, you can use the following to minimize the effect of this requirement:

• When necessary, you can install BMR boot server software on a Solaris machine in the network segment. Then create an SRT after the client has failed and needs to be restored.

• The Solaris BMR boot server can be defined on a Solaris machine that has a physical IP presence on multiple networks.

  That is, you can use a single Solaris BMR boot server with multiple network interfaces for Solaris BMR clients on each network segment.

• Configure a relay boot server to allow Solaris machines on remote subnets to boot from a BMR boot server using a network gateway. Contact your support representative for a Tech Note that describes the procedure.

• The BMR boot server for Solaris10_x64 requires the following software installed:

  • TFTP Server

  • DHCP server

  • NFS Server

  • SRTs for carrying out a bare metal restore of a Solaris10_x64 client can only be created and hosted on a Solaris10_x64 Boot server. The OS and Kernel level should be greater than or the same of the client to be restored

  If you want to use bmrsrtadm Media Creation to generate BMR-ISO SRTs, you must install the SUNWmkcd package on the boot server.
