Restoring
HMC Data
The restoration
of backup data should only be used in conjunction with
a re-installation of the HMC from the product CDs. See Backing
Up HMC Data.
Restoring
from DVD
- If the critical
console data has been archived on a DVD-RAM, the re-installation
of the Product CDs will prompt the user to insert the DVD-RAM
containing the archived console data at installation end.
- On first
boot of the newly installed HMC, a check will be made to see if
the DVD-RAM is inserted. The data will then be automatically restored.
Archived data is stored as a compressed tar file. DVD archived
data is stored in the file backuphdr.tgz.
Restoring
from a Remote System
- If the critical
console data has been archived remotely, the network settings
must be re-configured manually to enable access to the remote
system after the HMC is newly installed. Then launch the HMC
Code Update-->Restore Remote Console Data task.
Select the type
of remote restore. Choose Restore from remote NFS server
or Restore from remote FTP server.
If you choose
Restore from remote NFS server, the screen at left
is displayed. Follow the directions on the screen to restore the
critical console data. The data is then offloaded to the HMC from
the remote system and will automatically be installed when the system
is rebooted.
If you choose
Restore from remote FTP server, the screen at left
is displayed. Follow the directions on the screen to restore the
critical console data. The data is then offloaded to the HMC from
the remote system and will automatically be installed when the system
is rebooted. |
