AT&T 2.1.1 manual Recovering from System Failures

Recovering from

System Failures

You may be responsible for recovering the system from disks after a system failure at the customer site.

The procedures for reinstalling the operating system software are provided in Chapter 3, Software Installation. This chapter provides procedures for recovering system administrative and voice files.

The file restore procedures in this chapter are also used for upgrading from Release 1.1 to Release 2.0 of AUDIX Voice Power, and for upgrading from Release 2.0 to Release 2.1.1.

Before you can recover the system after a crash, you must first determine what caused the crash to occur and then try to fix it.

There are three possible problems that might have occurred:

■Hard disk failure

■Motherboard failure

■Data corruption
