Enabling Remote Boot
Once you have enabled remote boot, if you subsequently want to boot remotely using a different
network interface card (NIC), you must first disable remote boot and then enable it again,
specifying the other NIC. In addition, after you recover a disk while booting remotely, you must
disable and re-enable remote boot.
To enable remote boot:
1. In the Protected disk list on any page, select your system disk or partition. If you protected
multiple system disks or partitions, select the first system disk or partition on your computer
(typically Disk 0).
2. From the Action menu, click “Enable Remote Boot”. The Enable Remote Boot dialog box
appears (Figure 4-17). This dialog box displays a list of all the NICs on your computer.

3. From the list, select the NIC that you want to use when remotely booting from the storage
system.
4. Click “Enable”.
A message appears, advising you that your network connection will be temporarily
interrupted.
5. Click “Yes” to allow the temporary network interruption. (Your network connection will be
restored immediately after this process is complete.) In the Enable Remote Boot dialog box,
the Details area shows the progress of the enabling process. If any problems are
encountered (for example, if the selected disk or partition was not your system disk) that
portion of the process will be marked “Failed”. You can click the plus sign next to the process
description to expand it and display an error message that explains exactly what happened.
