Booting from a Windows NT Host
If you plan to download the image from a Windows NT host to the RAC,
you must first install the RAC operational software and image on the
Windows NT host. Refer to Installing Remote Access Concentrator
Software for Windows and Windows NT for instructions and detailed
information.
To boot the RAC from a Windows NT host, you must have Remote Access
Server Tools installed. Remote Access Server Tools uses the expedited
remote procedure call daemon (erpcd) running on a Windows NT server.
Erpcd responds to all RAC boot and dump requests. Refer to Using
®
Remote Access Concentrator Server Tools for Windows NT for
additional information.

Booting from Another Model 8000 Remote Access
Concentrator
You can boot from another Model 8000 Remote Access Concentrator, if
the Model 8000 Remote Access Concentrator you are trying to boot from
is configured as a boot server. You can do this by using na or admin to
set the annex server_capability parameter to image. Refer to Managing
Remote Access Concentrators Using Command Line Interfaces for
additional information.
