Notes on Replicating a System

You can use the OS's mksysb command to back up hosts that include HDLM-

managed devices. If you then replicate (clone) a system from a mksysb

image created in this manner onto another LPAR or host, you must update

the HDLM information to match that of the destination system's environment.

To update the HDLM information to match that of the destination system's

environment, use the following procedure to execute the HDLM restoration

support utility (dlmpostrestore) after you have restored the mksysb image.

KAPL10555-I is displayed in a boot disk environment). To continue

processing, enter y in response to this message.
If you executed the utility in a boot disk environment, you must then
