1. When creating the SysBack backup tape, the -N <nettype>flag must be used in
order to ensure that the network adapter can be configured to perform the
network install. In SMIT, this flag equates to the Network install support to
include field.
2. A NIM LPPSOURCE may only be a source to obtain post installation device
support filesets when a SysBack NIM Resource Network Boot is performed.
This option is not available to the SysBack Classic Network Boot.
3. The CD/DVD media used for the system boot does not have to be the same
media as what contains the Post Install device support filesets. For example,
you could boot from SysBack backup and install device support from and AIX
product CD. Also, if using two different discs, they may be used n the same, or
different, devices. For example, the boot CD / DVD may be in /dev/cd0 and
the post install fileset support media may be in /dev/cd1.
4. The CD / DVD media used for the system boot does not have to be the same
media as what contains the backup image to be installed. For example, you

different, devices. For example, the boot CD / DVD may be in /dev/cd0 and
the installation image CD / DVD may be in /dev/cd1. Furthermore, SysBack
will prompt you to change media as appropriate when the same device is
specified for the install device and the Post Install fileset support device.
