To use the media on different types of hardware, select both types of components. When
booting a machine from the resulting media, you will be able to select 32-bit or 64-bit
components on the boot menu.

c. [Optional] The timeout interval for the boot menu plus the component that will

automatically start on timeout.

If not configured, the Acronis loader waits for someone to select whether to boot the
operating system (if present) or the Acronis component.

If you set, say, 10 sec. for the bootable agent, the agent will launch 10 seconds after the
menu is displayed. This enables unattended onsite operation when booting from a PXE
server or WDS/RIS.

d. [Optional] Remote logon settings:

User name and password to be entered on the console side at the connection to the
agent. If you leave these boxes empty, the connection will be enabled without specifying
credentials.

e. [Optional] Network settings (p. 153):

TCP/IP settings to be assigned to the machine network adapters.

f. [Optional] Network port (p. 154):

The TCP port that the bootable agent listens for incoming connection.

g. Licenses to be used:

If Agent for Windows or Agent for Linux is not installed on the machine, specify the license
key or the license server with licenses. The licenses will not get assigned or reassigned. They
determine which functionality to enable for the created media. Without a license, you can
create media only for recovery from the cloud storage.
If Agent for Windows or Agent for Linux is installed on the machine, the media inherits its
functionality.

h. The type of media to create. You can:

Create CD, DVD or other bootable media such as removable USB flash drives if the
hardware BIOS allows for boot from such media

Build an ISO image of a bootable disc to burn it later on a blank disc

Upload the selected components to Acronis PXE Server

Upload the selected components to a WDS/RIS.

i. Path to the media ISO file or the name or IP and credentials for PXE or WDS/RIS.

9.1.1 Kernel parameters

This window lets you specify one or more parameters of the Linux kernel. They will be automatically
applied when the bootable media starts.

These parameters are typically used when experiencing problems while working with the bootable
media. Normally, you can leave this field empty.

You can also specify any of these parameters by pressing F11 while in the boot menu.

Parameters

When specifying multiple parameters, separate them with spaces.
