Restoring network-server descriptions for a Linux logical partition
In a disaster-recovery situation, you would restore all the configuration objects, which include the network-server description (NWSD) for your logical partition. In some situations, you must specifically restore the NWSD. For example, you must restore the NWSD when you migrate to new hardware.
To have IBM® i
automatically relink disk drives within the integrated file system
to the restored NWSD, restore those disk drives first.
To restore the NWSD, use the Restore Configuration (RSTCFG)
command:
- On an IBM i command line, type RSTCFG and press F4 (Prompt).
- In the Objects field, specify the name of the NWSD.
- In the Device field, specify which device you are using to restore the NWSD. If you are restoring from media, specify the device name. If you are restoring from a save file, specify *SAVF and identify the name and library for the save file in the appropriate fields.
- Press Enter to restore the NWSD.
- When you have restored the NWSD and all of its associated storage spaces, start (vary on) the logical partition.
