Recovering your system

This topic provides instructions to completely recover your entire system.

Use these steps if you need to recover your system to the same system (restore to the same system with the same serial number). Use these recovery instructions only if you saved your entire system by using either of the following options:

  • Save menu Option 21
  • Equivalent Save Commands as Save menu Option 21:

    - SAVSYS
    - SAVLIB LIB(*NONSYS) ACCPTH(*YES)
    - SAVDLO DLO(*ALL) SAVFLR(*ANY)
    - SAV DEV('/QSYS.LIB/tape-device-name.DEVD') OBJ(('/*')
           ('/QSYS.LIB' *OMIT) ('/QDLS' *OMIT)) UPDHST(*YES)

Notes:

Check off each item as you complete the task.

  1. If you use Operations Console with local area network (LAN) connectivity, you might need to manually reset the service tools device ID password on the system to be the same as the System i® device ID, to connect to the Operations Console.

    After you begin the step, you must continue until you have performed the IPL from SAVSYS media. Do not perform this as a preliminary step. If you are using Operations Console with i5/OS V5R4, or later, you only have to reset the service tools device ID password on the system. The client automatically attempts to sign on using the reset device ID password for Operations Console.

  2. If you are using Operations Console, LAN, or direct connection, disconnect from your system and close Operations Console.

    Restart Operations Console and reconnect by using the user ID of 11111111 and password of 11111111 to sign on to your system.

  3. Load the initial program on the system from the first SAVSYS media.
    1. Mount the first SAVSYS media on the alternate IPL device. Wait for the READY status.
    2. At the central processing unit (CPU) control panel, place the system in MANUAL mode.
    3. Press the Function Select switch (or buttons) to display 02 (IPL) in the Function display.
    4. Press Enter.
    5. Press the Function Select switch (or buttons) to display D (IPL from tape or CD-ROM) in the Data display.
    6. Press Enter.
    7. If the system is powered down, press the power button on the system to power the system on. Skip to Step 4. Otherwise, continue with Step 3h.
    8. If the system is powered on, press the Function Select switch (or buttons) to display 03 (continue the IPL) in the Function display.
    9. Press Enter.
  4. You will see one of the following two Select a Language Group displays. This shows the language on the distribution media. Either the Select a Language Group display or the i/OS logo screen displays. Press Enter to select the language, and then press Enter on the confirmation display.
                              Select a Language Group
    
     The language feature shown is the service tools
     language feature installed on the system.   
    
     Attention: To keep the same language, ensure that the
     media you use for installing the operating system
     matches the language feature shown. If the operating
     system  media does not match what is shown, the
     installation process will attempt to install the
     operating system in a different language feature than
     Licensed Internal Code.
    
     Type choice, press Enter.

  31. If you receive message CPF3204, Cannot find object needed for file xxxx in xxx, during the restore of your libraries, the necessary based-on physical files were not yet restored when the logical files were attempting to restore. You will need to perform the restore of logical files after the physical files have been restored using one of the following options:
    • Run this command to restore only the logical files that were not restored previously.
      RSTLIB SAVLIB(*NONSYS) DEV(media-device-name)
