Summary of Commands mkimage
UCS 1000 R4.2 Administration 585-313-507 Issue 3 April 2000 543

system be placed into single-user mode. The mkimage command aborts if
you do not give the system permission. Once in single-user mode, you must
log in again and reexecute the mkimage command to continue the mkimage
process. The mkimage unmounts all mountable file systems and then
mounts /usr, /var, /home, and /home2 file systems, which are the only file
systems beside the root file system and /stand that appear on the root disk in
a standard voice system. The system then creates a list of files to archive to
tape and prompts you to insert a tape.
! CAUTION:
Do not rename the file systems mentioned above as the newly named file
system would not be included in the image tape.
Once the image creation has finished, the tape is verified by reading the table
of contents from the tape and comparing it with the original list of files used to
create the tape. If any errors are found, you see the following message that
directs you to check for specific files for further information about the failure:
ERROR:Verification failed. Wait for the light on the tape unit to go off before
removing the tape.
Three files have been written to the /tmp directory which show the results of
the backup and verification. $DISK_FILES contains a list of all the files which
were to be backed up. $TAPE_TOC contains a list of all files which were
