Bootable Media Creator (BoMC)
The Bootable Media Creator (BoMC) provides a tool for creating a bootable image for
supported media (CD, DVD, ISO image, USB flash drive, or PXE files) to update the system
firmware. Because BoMC runs in its own boot environment, you cannot update drivers. BoMC
has a graphical and command-line interface. One bootable media image can contain support
for multiple systems. The tool uses standard HTTP (port 80) and HTTPS (port 443) to get the
updates from IBM. Your firewall must allow these ports.
BoMC is supported on Windows, Linux, and VMware operating systems. BoMC supports
32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. The IBM ToolsCenter Bootable Media Creator
Installation and User’s Guide provides a detailed list of supported operating systems at the
following website:
