Restoring Protected Data › How to Perform a Bare Metal Recovery (BMR) for Linux Machines › Specify the Target Machine Details

Specify the Target Machine Details

Specify the target machine details so that data is restored to that machine. A target machine is a bare metal machine where you will perform a BMR. If you restore using the IP address, you need the IP address of the target machine that you previously recorded at the beginning of this process. If you restore using the Media Access Control (MAC) address, you need the MAC address of the target machine.

Follow these steps:

1. Enter the MAC address or the IP address of the target machine in the MAC/IP Address field.
2. Enter a name in the Host Name field.

   The target machine will use this name as the host name after the restore process is complete.

3. Select one of the following options as the network:

   DHCP

   Automatically configures the IP address. This is the default option. Use this option if you have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server to restore with the DHCP network.

   Static IP

   Manually configures the IP address. If you select this option then, enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway of the target machine.

   Important! Ensure that the Static IP is not used by any other machines on the network during the restore process.

4. (Optional) Select the Reboot option to automatically restart the target node after the BMR is complete.
5. Click Next.

   The Advanced page opens.

The target machine details are specified.
