You can also boot from a tape containing required device support software to
perform a network installation from media on a remote server. In this case, you
must explicitly indicate that the network support be included on the tape. When
booting from tape to perform a network installation, the server on which the
installation media is present does not need the device support installed to support
the client, but the installation media itself must contain the required device
support.
Cloning systems: A boot tape created on one machine can be used on another
machine with a different processor or platform type. The system backup created on
one machine can also be installed on another machine, even if the device
configuration differs. When cloning systems, the machine on which the boot tape is
created must have installed all of the device and system support software for the
destination platform type, processor type, and other required devices.
