Create Bootable BMR ISO Image

If you select to create a BMR ISO image, you can then burn this image onto a bootable media (CD or DVD) to initialize the new computer system and allow the bare metal recovery process to begin.

Follow these steps:

  1. From the Select the Boot Kit Method screen, select Create Bootable BMR ISO Image and click Next.

    The Select Platform and Destination dialog opens.

  2. Select the applicable platform for the ISO image.

    You can select either of the two available options, or both. If you select both platforms, it will result in added time to create the image,

    Note: An ISO image that is created from a 32-bit platform should be used to restore a 32-bit server. An ISO image that is created from a 64-bit platform should be used to restore a 64-bit server. If you want to boot a UEFI firmware system, make sure the x64 platform option is selected.

    The available options are:

  3. Specify the Destination.

    Specify or browse to the location where the BMR ISO image file will be created and stored.

  4. Specify the name of the generated BMR ISO image file.
  5. After you specify the platform and destination, click Next,

    The Select Languages dialog opens.

  6. Select the language for the generated BMR ISO image. During the BMR procedure, the user interface and keyboard will be integrated with the selected language.

    You can select one or more different languages for the BMR ISO image. However, each language selected will result in added time to create the image. The more languages you select, the longer it will take to complete. As a result, you should only select the languages that you actually need.

  7. Click Next.

    The Specify Drivers dialog opens.

  8. Specify the drivers to populate the driver list with drivers to be integrated into the BMR ISO image.

    The driver pane is enabled and you can specify any additional drivers that you want to add (or delete) from the BMR ISO image.

    Note: When integrating the VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter driver into the BMR ISO image, a possible conflict with the Windows ADK components exists. To avoid any conflict, the best practice is not to integrate this driver into the BMR ISO image.

    1. Include Local Drivers: Load the local critical device drivers (only oem drivers for NIC, FC, or SCSI) to the driver list. When clicked, the utility checks your computer to determine if there are any critical device drivers that need to be added to the BMR ISO image for this computer. If any critical device drivers are found, they are automatically added to the list.
    2. Add Driver: Browse to the drivers you want to be added to the driver list.
    3. Delete Driver: Remove any drivers selected from the list that you do not want added to the BMR ISO image.
  9. Click Create to launch the process and create a bootable BMR ISO image.

    During the process, the status is displayed.

  10. When the process is complete a confirmation screen opens to indicate that the BMR ISO image was successfully generated. This screen also displays the location and platform for the image, along with a clickable link to browse to that location.
