Using Backup Media to Recover from a System Failure

Reloading Your System Conﬁguration

If your most recent system conﬁguration ﬁles are from backups, do the following to

retrieve your system conﬁguration:

1. Install your latest system load backup.

2. Start the system. Only the system master volume on LDEV 1 is initialized. Other

volumes must be initialized using VOLUTIL. This can be done with the following set of

commands:

:VOLUTIL

volutil: NEWVOL

volumesetname:membername

LDEV=

The

volumesetname

for the system volume set is MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET. Issue the

NEWVOL command for each member of the volume set. None of the drives can be written

to until they have been initialized. Refer to System Startup, Conﬁguration, and

Shutdown Reference Manual for more detailed instructions.

3. Make any changes to the SYSGEN conﬁguration and reboot the system. (This step is

optional.)

4. Restore your partial and full backups using the KEEP and DIRECTORY parameters of the

RESTORE command. These procedures are described in the following sections.

Refer to System Startup, Conﬁguration, and Shutdown Reference Manual for additional

information.
