The mkimage command then returns the voice system to multiuser mode by rebooting. If no errors are found, you are prompted to make a note of the file system partition sizes after the voice system returns to multiuser mode.

Note: You do not get a warning from the voice system before it reboots to return to multiuser mode.

Note: The mkimage command can run anywhere from 45 minutes to one or more hours creating the image tape. Several tapes could be required depending on the amount of space used in the root disk file systems.

Note: The complete system image tape should only be used to restore a system root disk that has been severely damaged and needs file- system reconstruction at the lowest level. Use the backup and restore commands to recover from minor file damage or corruption.
