Storix Software SBAdmin AIX System Recovery Guide - Manual (Page 41)

Upon completion of the installation, with the exception of any changes made to the LVM information, the new
system will look identical to that of the original system from which the backup was made.
Network Re-configuration (avoiding conflicts)
If the system installed from the backup is NOT the same system from which the backup was taken, it may
be necessary to either reconfigure or disable any network adapters that might cause a network conflict with
the original system (which may still be operational). If the system was installed from local tape, all network
devices will be disabled, although they will retain their original settings. If the system was installed from a
network install server, the primary network will be reconfigured using the client network settings used to
contact the install server, and any additional network devices, if any, will be disabled.
This behavior may be prevented by selecting to not apply the network configuration
to the restored system when configuring the network settings.
Should any network device be disabled, you will be informed so, and you may enable them again using the
AIX System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) for configuring TCP/IP (“smit tcpip”).
System Recovery Options
By selecting the System Recovery Options on the Installation and Maintenance Menu , the following list of
options will appear:
Each of the options are described in detail below:
Check/Fix Corrupt Operating System
This option may be used to repair an operating system that has become corrupt due to a corrupt boot
logical volume or a corrupt root (/) or /usr filesystem.
When selecting this option, you are provided a list of physical volumes which contain a boot logical volume .
The rootvg volume will be imported from the physical volume you select from the list. Some systems may
have more than one rootvg volume group or more than one boot logical volume, and therefore may have
multiple disks to select from.
