is created by AIX when the system was booted. This file is not
always 100% accurate regarding what device support is needed
as some devices return invalid installp package names rather
than individual filesets. In most cases, however, this is a
reliable alternative to pre-installing all device support filesets
on to a system prior to creating the backup image.
All Selecting this option tells SysBack to perform an install
command against every item contained on the media in the
specified location. This may include device support filesets or
any other software that is located on the media.
Software Install Device
This option lets you specify a CDROM device name, a tape device
name, or a NIM LPPSOURCE directory name. The NIM LPPSOURCE
directory name provides additional device support to install during
installation. This device support, if available in the specified location,
will be installed in circumstances where the needed device support for
this machine is contained in the boot image, not the backup image to
be installed.
If this is a NIM Resource Network Boot, SysBack will automatically
pulls device support from the NIM LPPSOURCE specified when the
Network Boot client was added regardless of whether this option is
edited. For more information on configuring a NIM Resource Network
Boot, see Chapter 13, “Network Boot/Installation Configuration”,on
page 13-1.
Debug Logging
This yes or no field indicates whether to turn on debug logging
operations for troubleshooting network boot and installation problems.
The default is no.
Post-Install Script
Enter a filename to include a post installation script on the customized
installation diskette. If it exists, this file will be executed at the end of
the installation process before the system reboots. This can be used, for
instance, to execute the sample script
/usr/lpp/sysback/scripts/install.post_rmnet that removes the network
configuration from the restored system data to prevent any prompts at
the end of the SysBack installation process.
LVM Information File
Enter a filename to include an LVM information file on the customized
installation diskette. Doing so replaces the LVM information contained
on the backup and is typically used to apply many changes to the LVM
information without requiring the user to do so using the installation
menus. For more information about how to create a customized LVM
information file, please refer to “Creating or Editing an LVM
Information File” on page 16-18.
Changing SysBack CD/DVD Boot Defaults
Use the Change SysBack CD/DVD Boot Defaults menu to set boot defaults for
CD or DVD media. Setting these defaults will let you minimize, possibly eliminate,
user prompting during a CD/DVD boot or installation process. These defaults are
stored in a file on the system. Therefore, you must set these options before the
backup is executed, or boot only CD/DVD created, in order to ensure that this file
