TSM Administrator Configuration

The TSM administrative user information need only be entered if you do not know the NODE Password.
Also, by logging onto the server as the administrative user, instead of using the node password, you will
have access to all backups on the server, even those for which the permission was set to only allow owner
access in the backup profile.

Once you have entered all of the required TSM information, press the F3 or ESC key to return to the previous
menu.

Change the Installation Settings

The sizes, locations and all other attributes for

volume groups

,

logical volumes

and

filesystems

as defined on

the backup may be changed using this option. If the backup settings had not been previously read from the
backup, the backup will be read and the settings, according to the original system, will be extracted from the
backup. The settings will then be verified to ensure they are compatible with the current system’s hardware
configuration. If the verification fails, you will be required to fix the information to accommodate installation of
the backup onto the current system. This may be done either automatically or by changing the setting manually
as described in the section

Verify the hardware configuration

above.

Upon selection of this option, a set of menus will appear that allow you to customize virtually any attribute of a
volume group, logical volume or filesystem defined on the backup. You may also choose to exclude certain
volume groups, logical volumes or filesystems, or may to select to create them without actually restoring the
data. This process is identical to that which is used when Recreating Volume Groups and Recreating Logical
Volumes and Filesystems
on a running system, and is therefore described in details in the section

Change the

Volume Group, Logical Volume and Filesystem Settings

.

Once you have completed all changes, press the F3 or ESC key to return to the

Installation and Maintenance

Menu

.

Install the System with Current Settings

When you have completed all steps necessary prior to installing the system, such as changing the installation
server, device or volume group information, you may select this option to begin the installation of the system
using the current settings.

The backup settings will again be verified to ensure consistency with the current hardware configuration as
described in

Verifying the hardware configuration

above. If any problems are found, you will be returned to the

Installation and Maintenance Menu

.

If no problems were found in the system configuration preventing the installation from proceeding, a
confirmation screen will appear, showing you the volume groups and disks that will be created or overwritten by
the installation. You will be required to press Enter to continue. A final warning will appear and you must then
press “y” to continue the installation or “n” to return to the

Installation and Maintenance Menu

.

If the backup originated on another machine that did not have all device support
installed that is used on the new system, you may insert an AIX Installation CDROM

in the CDROM drive in order to automatically extract and install any required device
support during the installation process.


Once you have selected to continue, the installation will proceed with no further user input. All volume groups,
logical volumes and filesystems will be created and restored from the backup as defined in the backup
information, and as previously customized. The system will reboot at the end of the installation and upon
rebooting, will migrate any device configuration from the previous backup onto the new system.
