configuration used for the recovery. This is done to prevent multiple systems configured with the same
IP, which may cause conflicts and network problems. Select “no” to this option if you do not want this
network migration to take place.
14. Volume Groups to create/restore: This option is used to select the volume groups from the backup
that will be created and restored, or imported, during the installation process. It is not possible to select
specific volume groups at this time, so you may select one of the following:
a. Create rootvg only: Select this option if you want only the rootvg volume group to be created
and restored from the backup. If there are other volume groups on the backup, they will be
ignored and will not be defined on the system when the installation completes.
b. Create all VGs: Select this option if all volume groups for which data was included on the
backup should be created and restored. If only the rootvg exists on the backup, this option will
be identical to the Create rootvg only option.
c. Create rootvg/import others: Select this option if the volume groups defined on the backup
already exist on the client's disks and need not be restored. In this case, the rootvg volume
group will be created and restored, and all other volume groups, if they exist, will be imported
from the existing disks.
If it is necessary to select or deselect individual volume groups to create, import or ignore, then you
should select the Both option in the Prompt for remaining options field. Then, you will be presented
with the
Installation and Maintenance Menu on the client, where you can more specifically tailor the
installation options.
When all selections have been made, select the Enable/Update button at the bottom of the screen. If a boot
image for the specified platform and network type does not already exist on the boot server, one will be created
which will take a minute or two. The client boot information will be saved and the client will be ready to boot and
install. If you have changed the boot server, the image on the old boot server will be disabled automatically.
Refer to the section
Boot a Client for Installation from a System Backup to initiate the installation process.
Disable a Network Install Client
It may be desirable to disable the network install for a client once the installation of the client is complete. If the
client should inadvertently boot over the network and the client is configured for a
no-prompt install , the client
may end up being reinstalled automatically.
To unconfigure the client, simply select the option Configure !Network Boot/Install!Enable/Disable Network
Installation of a Client from the menu bar. Select the client to disable. The client network install configuration
will appear. Simply press the Disable button at the bottom of the screen to unconfigure the network install.
Unconfiguring the network install client will prevent the client from booting over the network. Although the
network install will be disabled, the information for the network install will be retained and will be automatically
used as defaults should the same client be configured for network install again in the future.
Using an Alternate Network to Restore the Data
This option is not applicable to TSM Edition .
Even though the boot and install server may be the same, it may be desirable to perform the network install
(actual restoration of the data) using a different network than was used to perform the network boot. For
instance, the client may boot from the server using the ent0 (ethernet) network, but may want to restore the
data from the same server using the tok0 (token-ring) network instead. This is commonly done in order to
redirect the restore data traffic onto a different network than that which is in use by other applications.
