Creating an AIX Recovery DVD

DR550 has setup AIX and other software to create a very secure environment. The settings are not the typical AIX settings. Should a problem occur, using the standard AIX recovery tools would not ensure that the same setup exists. You should use the following procedures to create a recovery DVD for the AIX server(s).

Creating a Root Volume Group Backup on DVD-RAM with Universal Disk Format

To create a root volume group backup on DVD-RAM with UDF, do the following:

Use SMIT to create a backup to DVD-RAM with UDF, as follows:

From the DR550 integrated console, select the DRS Engine 1 (or whatever name you have given to server 1) and log on to AIX using the DR550 user id. When you are logged on, su to Root, and then enter the smit mkdvd fast path.

1.The system asks whether you are using an existing mksysb image: Select No (option 2)

2.Select the format: Select UDF (Universal Disk Format) (option 2)

3.Then you need to respond to a series of questions on the screen

Enter the name of the DVD-RAM device. Pressing F4 will provide a list of device names (select /dev/cd0)

Select yes or no for the mksysb creation options.

Create map files? Press F4 - Select Yes (default is no)

Exclude files? Select No (default is no)
