򐂰 Perform a system backup to a remote device assigned to another partition:
– Perform a network boot.
– Perform the reinstallation remotely across the network from tape.
All commands require execution by the root user.
Using a media device assigned to the partition
Local backups are backups that are performed to a device that is physically
attached to the machine, and in this case, the partition. This type of backup is the
easiest to implement. Figure 20-8 illustrates the relationship of a partition to a
tape device for a local backup.
Figure 20-8 Local backup to tape
Sample backup to tape
To execute a full system (installation image) backup of a partition to be used only
to reinstall this partition or another partition on this machine and to back up
datavg in addition to rootvg, pointing the backup to the /dev/rmt0 device, issue
the following command:
# /usr/sbin/sysback -f /dev/rmt0 datavg
Sample boot and install from tape
To sample boot and install from tape, do the following operations:
1. Place the backup tape in the drive and activate your partition to begin booting.
Note: There are several other options available for the /usr/sbin/sysback
command. Refer to Appendix A, “Commands,” in the IBM Tivoli Storage
Manager for System Backup and Recovery Installation and User’s Guide for
more detailed information, available at:

Note: If your boot device is not set to the tape drive, first boot into SMS
and set the boot device.
