Choosing the procedure to recover user information

When your system is running normally, you are ready to recover user information.

Your first step in a recovery is to return your system to a normal operating condition, which might require the following tasks:

Replace hardware
Restore or install the Licensed Internal Code
Perform an initial program load (IPL) after the system ends abnormally

After your system is running normally, you can recover user information. Use Table 1 to determine the procedure you should follow. In the table, N/A in a column means that the recovery procedure is the same, whether you respond yes or no.
