Disaster Recovery

Restores a previously saved PSM image of the system partition to a failed

 

machine. This will restore all configuration information on the machine. You

 

create the recovery boot diskette from the PSM tools in the Windows 2000

 

for NAS GUI.

 

 

Recovery CD Set

Reinstalls the software to the original state as shipped on the machine;

 

however, does not restore configuration information (so configuration changes

 

you applied to the original shipped configuration are lost). You must first boot

 

with the Recovery Enablement Diskette, and then reboot with the Recovery

 

CD. To create the Recovery Enablement Diskette, run

 

\DiskImages\Recovdsk.bat on the Supplementary CD.

 

 

IBM NAS AutoRaid Diskette

Resets the RAID configuration to its original configuration, or to the

 

departmental configuration when you change from a workgroup (tower)

 

configuration to a departmental (rack) configuration.

 

 

Integrated System Management

Configures the ISMP that is integrated on the planar. To create this diskette,
