Air Cleaner User Manual

v Reinstall the system to its original device configuration, including the volume
group and logical volume placement on disk and attached devices, using Full
System (Installation) Image to the same or different system (also called
“cloning”).
v Install the system from local boot/installation media or from a TSM server.
v Perform a network boot or installation to alleviate the need for local boot or
installation media using SysBack functions or existing Network Installation
Manager (NIM) resources.
v Perform Recovery Installation that restores only the base operating system (root
and /usr filesystems) without affecting other data in the rootvg or other volume
groups.
v Preserve multi-copied (mirrored) or striped logical volumes on recreate.
v Import, ignore, or recreate/restore each volume group or logical volume from a
single backup media during installation.
v Retain exact partition placement of logical volumes or make contiguous
partitions of any that have become fragmented; this will improve I/O
performance on recreate.
v Execute post-installation scripts to perform environment specific tasks.
v Use post-installation to remove SysBack or network configuration after cloning a
backup image to a different machine or to indicate the location of installation
media for automatically installing device support to the new machine.
v Set network and tape boot defaults to minimize, and often eliminate, the need
for user prompting during an installation.
v Edit or change the physical location and attributes of volume groups, logical
volumes, and filesystems during recreation.
v Restore data at the volume group, logical volume, filesystem, directory or file
level.
v Interactively select files to restore by letting you specify a filelist, use a search
word or use a wildcard to narrow the list.
v Exclude select filesystems or logical volumes during restore operations.
