Backdating Your System
Performing the Backdate
213
•If the SYSGEN command, RDCC, was used previously, the network configuration file that was specified
in that command is written to the CSLT that AUTOINST created.
• If this CSLT is used as a backup tape for a reinstallation, then the datacomm configuration file that
will be restored will require conversion using the NMMGRVER.PUB.SYS utility after the installation.
Apply the CSLT
Refer to “Applying the Modification” in Chapter 5, “Modifying Your System,” for additional information about
these steps.
To apply the CSLT:
1. From the console, mount the CSLT created from the factory SLT, FOS and SUBSYS of the release to
which you want to backdate. Refer to “Restore FOS and SUBSYS”.
Put the tape drive online.
Wait until the tape is mounted. A message displays on the system console verifying that the tape
mounted.
