Configuring BMR Boot Server
The BMR boot server software is installed when you install the NetBackup client. No separate installation is required. However, you must register the boot server.
Every NetBackup server includes the NetBackup client software by default. Therefore, you can run a BMR boot server on either a NetBackup server or a client (if BMR supports that platform). Boot servers provide the environment that is required to rebuild a protected client, including resources such as shared resource trees (SRT).
Note:
The BMR master server needs to be configured on the NetBackup master server before the BMR boot server is configured.
Note:
Starting 8.1.2 release, master, or media with AIX or HP-UX operating system installed is not supported. If the NetBackup master or media server running on AIX or HP-UX platform also happens to be BMR boot server configured for NetBackup clients running on AIX or HP-UX platform, you must configure a separate BMR boot server for these clients. To configure a separate BMR boot server, refer to the BMR migration procedure within the NetBackup Master Server Migration Guide https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/doc/MasterServerMigration
