Backing
Up HMC Data
Through the
HMC, you can back up critical HMC console data to the HMC's DVD-RAM
drive or offload the data to a remote system. Back up the HMC after
you have made changes to the HMC or to the information associated
with partitions (see Managing Profile
Data). You can set up an automated backup of critical console
data through the HMC Management-->Schedule Operations
task.
The archived
HMC data should only be used in conjunction with a reinstallation
of the HMC from the product CDs. This is done via the HMC's Update
option.
To back up console
data:
- In the Navigation
Pane, select HMC Management.
- In the Work
Pane, select Backup HMC Data.
- Select an
archive option. You may backup to DVD on the HMC, backup to a
remote system mounted to the HMC file system (i.e. NFS), or send
the backup to a remote site via FTP.
To back up to
DVD, choose Back up to DVD on local system. Follow
the instructions on the screen to back up the data.
To backup to
a mounted remote system, choose Backup up to mounted remote
system. Follow the instructions on the screen to back up
the data.
To backup to
a remote FTP site, choose Send backup critical data to remote
site. Follow the instructions on the screen to backup the
data.
