Create Bootable BMR USB Stick

If you select to create a bootable BMR (Bare Metal Recovery) USB stick, you can then burn this ISO image directly onto a USB stick to initialize the new computer system and allow the bare metal recovery process to begin.

Follow these steps:

1. If necessary, prepare the USB stick. For more information, see Prepare the USB Stick.
2. From the Select the Boot Kit Method screen, select “Create Bootable BMR USB Stick” and click Next.

   The Select Platform and Destination dialog opens.

3. 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:

   • BMR ISO image for x86 platform (only).
   • BMR ISO image for x64 platform (only).
   • BMR ISO image for both x86 and x64 platforms.
4. Specify the USB Drive.

   Specify or browse to the drive location where the BMR ISO image file will be created and burned onto the USB stick.

   Note: For a USB drive, if you want to boot the UEFI firmware system, you should format the USB drive as a FAT32 file system.

5. Verify that a prepared USB stick is inserted in the specified drive.
6. After you specify the platform and location, click Next,

   The Select Languages dialog opens.

7. 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.

8. Click Next.

   The Specify Drivers dialog opens.

9. If necessary, select the Integrate additional drivers option.

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

10. Click Create to launch the process and create a bootable BMR ISO image.

    During the process, the status is displayed.

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