Jim, Make sure the CD you created has the proper NIC driver for the bladecenter server, and make sure you have DHCP.
We couldn't use the TSM+ASR method because security policy prohibited us from using DHCP in certain networks, so we're looking into using BartPE +TSM plugin, which could be another way to go for you.

Hello Group, Has anyone successfully ASR restored an IBM bladecenter server blade? I am all the way to starting the first restore after the Tivoli client has already been silently installed, but network services have not started and I can find no literature on IBM or MS sites? Thankfully, there is a DOS window open to do some troubleshooting and I am starting that (hence, ipconfig shows no interfaces but 127.0.0.1), but I am wondering if anyone else has gone here before? I am using the "Using Microsoft Windows Automated System Recovery (ASR) to Recover Windows XP and Windows 2003 Systems with the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Backup-Archive Client for Windows" Tivoli Field Guide. Or is there a better mouse-trap for ASR in BladeCenter?
