Once the bootable agent starts on the server, it retrieves the list of available NICs. This list is sorted
by the slots the NICs occupy: the closest to the processor on top.

The bootable agent assigns each known NIC the appropriate settings, identifying the NICs by their
MAC addresses. After the NICs with known MAC addresses are configured, the remaining NICs are
assigned the settings that you have made for non-existent NICs, starting from the upper non-assigned
NIC.

You can customize bootable media for any machine, and not only for the machine where the media is
created. To do so, configure the NICs according to their slot order on that machine: NIC1 occupies the
slot closest to the processor, NIC2 is in the next slot and so on. When the bootable agent starts on
that machine, it will find no NICs with known MAC addresses and will configure the NICs in the same
order as you did.

Example

The bootable agent could use one of the network adapters for communication with the management
console through the production network. Automatic configuration could be done for this connection.
Sizeable data for recovery could be transferred through the second NIC, included in the dedicated
backup network by means of static TCP/IP settings.

Network port

While creating bootable media, you have an option to pre-configure the network port that the
bootable agent listens for incoming connection. The choice is available between:

•

the default port

•

the currently used port

•

the new port (enter the port number).

If the port has not been pre-configured, the agent uses the default port number (9876.) This port is
also used as default by the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console.

Drivers for Universal Restore

While creating bootable media, you have an option to add Windows drivers to the media. The drivers
will be used by Universal Restore when recovering Windows on a machine with a dissimilar
processor, different motherboard or different mass storage device than in the backed up system.

You will be able to configure the Universal Restore:

•

to search the media for the drivers that best fit the target hardware

•

to get the mass-storage drivers that you explicitly specify from the media. This is necessary when
the target hardware has a specific mass storage controller (such as a SCSI, RAID, or Fiber Channel
adapter) for the hard disk.

For more information please refer to Universal Restore (p. 223).

The drivers will be placed in the visible Drivers folder on the bootable media. The drivers are not
loaded into the target machine RAM, therefore, the media must stay inserted or connected
throughout the Universal Restore operation.

Adding drivers to bootable media is available on the condition that:
