Bare Metal Restore - boot server configuration

>> but the the boot server ip address still is the isolated network one.
This is happening because still your boot server host name resolving to the isolated network ip-address. You can confirm this by using nslookup command.
>> Is there a way to force to use an specific IP?
There is a way. You can do this by editing BMR database record to set ip-address manually. NOTE: this is not recommended though.
1. Fire below command and make a note of record ID number.
bmrs -o query -r database -table bootserver
2. Convert the correct ip-address in dotted decimal fashion into a decimal number form.
3. Open a file foo.sql and write a query:
update bmrdba.bmr_bootserver set ipaddress=<decimal val> where ID=<the_ID>
4. On successful, recheck bmrs to confirm the change.

Instead i would recommend you to bring down the other NIC interface for a while and re-fire bmrsetupboot -register.
Now it will resolve to production ip and setupboot will change the record automatically.
Thanks.
