6.9 Backing Up Your System
To back up the system.
1. Mount a write-enabled tape to create a backup SLT.
:SYSGEN
sysgen>TAPE
sysgen>EXIT
2. Dismount the tape, label as SLT with date, time and system version.
3. We recommend that you stop two running diagnostics daemons in order to back up their
files.
:SYSDIAG
DUI>DIAGSYSTEM SHOWACTIVE
This gives the
pids
for the active daemons PSMON and
MEMLOGP.
DUI>DIAGSYSTEM ABORT PSMON_pid
DUI>DIAGSYSTEM ABORT MEMLOGP_pid
DUI>EXIT
4. Mount another blank tape and perform a full system backup.
:FILE T;DEV=TAPE
:STORE /;*T;DIRECTORY;SHOW
5. Dismount the tape, label as backup with date, time and system version.
6. Restart the daemons.
:SYSDIAG
DUI>DIAGSYSTEM RUN PSMON
DUI>DIAGSYSTEM RUN MEMLOGP
DUI>DIAGSYSTEM SHOWACTIVE
Verify that the daemons restarted.
DUI>EXIT
