Before performing a BMR using the IP address, you need to get the IP address of the target machine. A bare-metal machine does not have any IP address initially. So, you have to boot the bare-metal machine using the default Live CD, which is Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) Live CD, or the CentOS-based Live CD to get the IP address. After you get the IP address of the target machine, you can configure the static IP of the target machine.
Follow these steps:
The target machine boots into the Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) Live CD environment. On the screen, the IP address of the target machine is displayed.
ifconfig <NIC name> <static IP address> netmask <netmask>
route add default gw <gateway IP address> <NIC name>
Note: The Network Interface Card (NIC) name depends on your hardware. For example, the typical NIC names are eth0 or em0.
sudo ifconfig <NIC name> <static IP address> netmask <netmask>
sudo route add default gw <gateway IP address> <NIC name>
The static IP is configured.
The IP address of the target machine is acquired.
Important! Maintain a record of this IP address as it is used in the Restore Wizard when you have to specify the target machine details.
