When specifying the mkimage command, the voice system requests that the system be placed into single-user mode. The mkimage command aborts if you do not give the system permission. Once in single-user mode, you must log in again and reexecute the mkimage command to continue the mkimage process. The mkimage unmounts all mountable file systems and then mounts /usr, /var, /home, and /home2 file systems, which are the only file systems beside the root file system and /stand that appear on the root disk in a standard voice system. The system then creates a list of files to archive to tape and prompts you to insert a tape.

!CAUTION:

Do not rename the file systems mentioned above as the newly named file system would not be included in the image tape.

Once the image creation has finished, the tape is verified by reading the table of contents from the tape and comparing it with the original list of files used to create the tape. If any errors are found, you see the following message that directs you to check for specific files for further information about the failure:

ERROR:Verification failed. Wait for the light on the tape unit to go off before removing the tape.
