Chapter 9. IBM Systems Director Management Console management 255
Here is our example of this command:
backup -l usb -Y
6. The backup command starts the IBM Systems Director in the background.
7. If you back up the system to a USB disk, remount the drive to see the backup
file. Obtain the device name of the USB disk and mount it by running the
following commands:
lsmediadev
device=/dev/cdrom,mount_point=/media/cdrom,type=1,description=CD/DVD
device=/dev/vdh1,mount_point=/media/vdh1,type=3,description=USB
flash memory device
mount /media/vdh1
ls -lah /media/vdh1
Restore
During a restore, the current appliance update version of the software must
match the version of the backup up media, that is, during a full system recovery,
the client may have to reload the system from the recovery media and then
perform software updates until they are at the current version before a restore
can be performed.
To perform the restore, perform the following steps:
1. Optionally, stop the IBM Systems Director server. You can use the restore
command to perform this task.
2. Mount the device
– To mount CD or DVD media, insert the media in the drawer
Run the mount /media/cdrom command
– For a USB device, insert the media in the rear USB port
Run lsmediadev to determine the mount point.
Run the mount /media/XXXX command where XXXX is the mount point
determined from the lsmediadev command
3. Run restore on the host.
The command has the following syntax:
restore [-l usb | sftp] [-s][-d][-u][-p][-Y][-h | --help]
Where:
-Y Say Yes to all questions.
