Step 1.  Login to SCMP with the system administrator account. Navigate to the Download and download the Bare Metal Restore ISO.

Step 2.  By default, the IP address configuration will be using DHCP. As long as the DHCP pool has been specified in the network, manually configuring the

temporary IP is unnecessary.


Step 3.  Other than DCHP, static IP is also supported to be configured for the bare metal restore medium.

Step 4.  Click Generate Download Link to get the download link of the bare metal restores iso file corresponding to the system admin.


Step 5.  Upload the downloaded ISO image to the Sangfor HCI platform.

Step 6.  When creating a new VM, load the ISO image uploaded in the previous

step.


Step 7.  Start the virtual machine and boot into the bare metal restore ISO.

Step 8.  Enter the network configuration interface and configure the IP

information for the bare metal restore. It is required that the configured IP

address be connected to the SCMP. This IP is only used for data migration and will be erased after the migration is completed and restored to the source

system's IP address. Manual IP configuration can be avoided if DHCP/Static IP has been configured for the bare metal restore when downloading the files.

IP of SCMP: the IP address of the SCMP server.

Username: The system admin for migration (When the username is filled in wrongly will lead to connection failure). By default, it is filled automatically.


Step 9.  If stuck in the initialize the network step during the restore

progress, the address configured in the previous step cannot be connected to the SCMP. The Start CLI function can be used to perform a ping test or select Exit to reconfigure the IP address.

Step 10. The establishment of the bare metal restores success when the

restore progress reaches the Wait for admin input phase. In this phase, it will be waiting for the migration instruction issued by SCMP.
