Network Settings - ACRONIS Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition User Manual

nodma
Disables direct memory access (DMA) for all IDE hard disk drives. Prevents the kernel from
freezing on some hardware.
nofw
Disables the FireWire (IEEE1394) interface support.
nopcmcia
Disables detection of PCMCIA hardware.
nomouse
Disables mouse support.
module_name=off
Disables the module whose name is given by module_name. For example, to disable the use of
the SATA module, specify: sata_sis=off
pci=bios
Forces the use of PCI BIOS instead of accessing the hardware device directly. You may want to
use this parameter if the machine has a non-standard PCI host bridge.
pci=nobios
Disables the use of PCI BIOS; only direct hardware access methods will be allowed. You may want
to use this parameter when the bootable media fails to start, which may be caused by the BIOS.
pci=biosirq
Uses PCI BIOS calls to get the interrupt routing table. You may want to use this parameter if the
kernel is unable to allocate interrupt requests (IRQs) or discover secondary PCI buses on the
motherboard.
These calls might not work properly on some machines. But this may be the only way to get the
interrupt routing table.

Network settings

While creating Acronis bootable media, you have an option to pre-configure network connections
that will be used by the bootable agent. The following parameters can be pre-configured:

IP address

Subnet mask

Gateway
 DNS server
 WINS server.
Once the bootable agent starts on a machine, the configuration is applied to the machine's network
interface card (NIC.) If the settings have not been pre-configured, the agent uses DHCP auto
configuration. You also have the ability to configure the network settings manually when the
bootable agent is running on the machine.
Pre-configuring multiple network connections
You can pre-configure TCP/IP settings for up to ten network interface cards. To ensure that each NIC
will be assigned the appropriate settings, create the media on the server for which the media is
