6.10.6 Acronis PXE Server

Acronis PXE Server allows for booting machines to Acronis bootable components through the
network.
Network booting:

eliminates the need to have a technician onsite to install the bootable media into the system that
must be booted

during group operations, reduces the time required for booting multiple machines as compared
to using physical bootable media.
Bootable components are uploaded to Acronis PXE Server using Acronis Bootable Media Builder. To
upload bootable components, start the Bootable Media Builder (either from the management
console, by selecting Tools > Create bootable media or as a separate component) and follow the
step-by-step instructions described in the "Bootable Media Builder (p. 271)" section.
Booting multiple machines from the Acronis PXE Server makes sense if there is a Dynamic Host
Control Protocol (DHCP) server on your network. Then the network interfaces of the booted
machines will automatically obtain IP addresses.
