7. System Installation Mode: You must select here whether you want to perform a no-prompt or menu-
driven installation:
a. By
selecting
No-prompt, the client will be installed without entering any information on the
client. This is referred to as a
. If selected, all of the remaining prompts must
be filled in.
b. If
Menus (set defaults) is selected, you will be provided the additional prompts now, all of
which are optional. The information you provide will appear as defaults on the client after it is
booted, but those options may also be changed on the client.
c. If
Menus (no-defaults) is selected, it is assumed that all install options will be selected from
the client install menus once it is booted. When selected, all remaining options will disappear
from the screen as they no longer apply.
8. Server to install from: This field will, by default, contain the name of the
boot server
. If the backup
data will be restored from a different server than you booted from, select a different
install server
in this
field. If the install server differs from the boot server, additional fields will appear on the screen, which
are described in the section
Using a Different Install Server than the Boot Server
below.
If you wish to install the client using the server’s alternate network, select the network from the
Alternate Server Network
drop-down list. If selected, additional fields will appear as described in the
section
Using a Different Install Server than the Boot Server
below, since the client may need to use a
different adapter to reach this alternate network on the install server.
9. Device or File to install from: Use the arrow button to list and select the device from which the
backup data will be restored. If a directory device is selected, you will be prompted for the specific
System Backup
from which to install. After selecting the backup, the backup ID of the backup image
will be placed in this field, and the Backup Sequence Number field will be automatically filled in with
the sequence number of the client backup selected. If you select a tape device for this field, the device
name will be placed in the field, but the backup will not be read at this time, since the backup may not
be in the drive at the moment.
10. Backup Sequence Number: If the client will be installed from a tape device, you must manually select
the backup sequence number on the tape media to install from. If there is only one
System Backup
on
the tape, the backup sequence number will be 1 (default). If there is more than one, you must enter the
appropriate backup sequence number. If you are unsure as to the correct sequence number to use,
view the backup label and use the backup sequence number that corresponds to the desired backup.
11. Console Device Name: Select the name of the console device that will be used on the client. If the
client is using a graphical display, this is likely "tty0".
12. Console terminal type: If the console device selected was a graphical device, the terminal type will be
set to linux. Otherwise, an
ASCII terminal
is assumed and you must list and select the specific terminal
type. Using the arrow key, you can list the terminal types that are available during the installation
process and select one from the list.
13. Disable Network Boot After Install: Select “yes´ if you wish to have the client automatically disabled
for network boot following a successful system recovery. The default is “no”.
14. Apply Network Settings to Installed System: When performing a recovery over the network or from a
local NFS share, if the network configuration used to perform the recovery is different than the network
configuration of the original backup client then the network configuration will be migrated to the
configuration used for the recovery. This is done to prevent multiple systems configured with the same
IP, which may cause conflicts and network problems. Select “no” to this option if you do not want this
network migration to take place.
When all selections have been made, select the
Enable/Update
button at the bottom of the screen. The client
boot information will be saved and the client will be ready to boot and install. If you have changed the boot
