This task is a step in “Roadmap for Performing a Bare Metal Restore for a Windows
Machine” on page 157. It is part of the process for “Managing a Linux Boot Image” on
page 173.
Complete the steps in this procedure to download the Live DVD ISO image.
To download a Boot ISO image for Linux
1. Log into the License Portal at https://licenseportal.com.
2. Access the Downloads area.
3. Scroll down to Linux Based Applications and, from the Linux Live CD section, click
Download.
4. Save the Live DVD ISO image. If you are restoring a virtual machine, you can save
it to a network location, and set the VM to start up from a CD or DVD drive
associated with the ISO image.
5. If restoring from a physical machine, burn the Boot CD ISO image onto a compact
disc (CD) or digital video disk (DVD) from which the target machine can be
started. For more information, see “Transferring the Live DVD ISO Image to Media”
on page 174.
Transferring the Live DVD ISO Image to Media
When you download the Linux Live DVD file, it is stored as an ISO image in the path
you specified. You must be able to boot the target Linux machine from the Live DVD
image.
You can burn the boot CD ISO image onto compact disc (CD) or digital video disk
(DVD) media.
When you start the machine from the Live DVD, the Universal Recovery Console
launches automatically.
If performing a BMR on a virtual machine, this step is not required. Simply load the
ISO image in a drive and edit settings for that VM to start from that drive.
