Backing up/restoring the SMC Functions of the System Management Console

4.5.1 SCS configuration data

This section describes how to back up and restore the SCS configuration data.

4.5.1.1 Backing up the configuration data of the System Console Software (SCS)

A backup of the configuration data of the System Console Software is of benefit if you wish

to replace an incorrect configuration setting with the old configuration. The System Console

Software includes the commands needed to create the backup. Backing up the configu-

ration data is particularly recommended when the configuration of the System Console

Software is to be changed. Approximately 1 to 2 MB of data are backed up during a backup

of this type.

In order to back up the configuration data of the System Console Software, you need a DAT

data cartridge.

Proceed as follows to back up the configuration data of the System Console Software:

1. Log on at the SMC as root.

2. Insert a data cartridge in the DAT drive. Check beforehand that the cartridge is not write-

protected, i.e. that the write-protect tab is set at “writeable”.

3. Enter the following command to start the backup process:

SMC# /opt/FJSVscsl/bin/scslbackup -t /dev/rmt/0

A prompt appears when backup is complete.

4. Press the eject button of the DAT tape drive to remove the data cartridge from the drive.

Then activate write protection by putting the write protection tab of the data cartridge

into the “write-protected” position.

4.5.1.2 Restoring configuration data of the System Console Software

To restore SCS configuration data which has been backed up (see previous section) you

will need the DAT data cartridge on which the data has been backed up.

Proceed as follows to restore the backed up configuration data:

1. Log on at the SMC as root.

2. Switch to the ok prompt by entering the following command.

SMC# /usr/sbin/shutdown -g0 -y -i0

3. Enter the following command to start the system in single-user mode.

ok boot -s

4. Enter the root password to switch to single-user mode.
