The bmrprep command prepares a Bare Metal Restore client for a restore or for a hardware discovery process. This command only runs on the Bare Metal Restore master server.
OPTIONS
- -address clientAddress
(UNIX clients only.) IP address of the client, in dotted decimal notation. Required only for a -discover operation; optional if -client and -config options are specified.
- -amiid amiId
The Amazon Machine Image (AMI) ID. This option is only used with RHEL Linux clients and with the -cloud option. This option is only necessary for the -restore operation.
- -architecture architectureName
(UNIX clients only.) Architecture of the client to be discovered. Required only for a -discover operation; optional if -client and -config options are specified.
- -client clientName
Name of the client to restore.
- -cloud
This option is only used to with RHEL Linux clients to restore Amazon Web Services virtual machines. This option is only necessary for the -restore operation.
- -config configurationName
Name of the configuration to use.

The required date and time values format in NetBackup commands varies according to your locale. The
/usr/openv/msg/.conffile (UNIX) and theinstall_path\VERITAS\msg\LC.CONFfile (Windows) contain information such as the date-time formats for each supported locale. The files contain specific instructions on how to add or modify the list of supported locales and formats.For more information about the locale of your system, see the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume II.
- -gateway serverGateway
(UNIX clients only.) Gateway to a NetBackup server, in dotted decimal notation. Required only for a -discover operation.
- -import
Import non-system volume groups.
For more information about how to use this flag, see the Bare Metal Restore Administrator's Guide.
- -keyfilepath keyFilePath
The path of the
.pemfile that has the key-pair that is used to create the Amazon Web Services virtual machine. This option is only used with the -cloud option. It's for RHEL Linux clients only and is only necessary for a -restore operation.- -keyname keyName
The key name that is used to create the Amazon Web Services virtual machine. This option is only used with the -cloud option. It's for RHEL Linux clients only and is only necessary for a -restore operation.
- -logging

For more information about how to use this option, see "Prepare to Restore Client dialog box" in the Bare Metal Restore Administrator's Guide.
- -useorigip
Instructs the restore to use the same TCP/IP address from the backup system during the restore. You must make sure that the original instance is terminated and that the original TCP/IP address is available. This option is only used with the -cloud option.

NOTES
If you use NetBackup Access Management and your user credentials and the computer credentials expire, renew them before you perform prepare-to-restore operations. Use the bpnbat -Login command to renew your user credentials and the bpnbat -LoginMachine command to renew the computer credentials.
You can specify -? to display the command usage statement when it is the only option on the command line.
