Modifying Your System
5.1 Securing and Backing Up the System for Tape Tasks
106
Backup the System
10. Back up the system, if you do not already have a current full backup.
a. Specify a class name.
:FILE SYSGTAPE;DEV=dev_number
where the dev_number is the DAT class name or LDEV number of the tape device. Specify this value
if you are using a DAT or any device that has a class name other than TAPE.
b. Mount a write-enabled tape and create an SLT.
:SYSGEN
sysgen>TAPE
sysgen>EXIT
c. If you are prompted for lockwords on system files, record the names of each system file as prompted,
then type the lockword and continue with the backup. You will need to restore these lockwords later
in the section, “Setting Passwords and Lockwords.” Record the names on your checklist.
d. Dismount the tape, label as SLT with date, time and system version.
e. Mount another blank tape and backup your user files.
:FILE T;DEV=TAPE
:STORE @.@.SYS,@.@.@-@.@.SYS;*T;DIRECTORY;SHOW
or
:STORE /SYS/, / - /SYS/;*T;DIRECTORY;SHOW; &
ONVS=volume_set_name1, volume_set_name2, ...
where the volume_set_name is the name for each user volume set you want to backup.
f. Dismount the tape, label with date, time and system version.
g. Go to Step 11.
11. If it exists, purge HPINSTFL:
:PURGE HPINSTFL.INSTALL.SYS
12. Purge spool files.
:SPOOLF @;DELETE
13. Purge staging groups.
:PURGEGROUP UNL
:PURGEGROUP USL
:PURGEGROUP UXL
Verify each purge, type Y, at the prompt.
Do not purge the group install.sys or the file supacct.pub.sys; they are needed for future patch and
add-on processes.
14. If you are performing an Update task, go to Step 15.
If you are performing an Add-on task, go to Step 16.
Update Tasks
15. Purge specified files and groups.
a. Purge each osxnn and xptnnnn group in the telesup account.
