•

Computer properties:
–

Hostname

–

DNS domain name

–

Superuser password

•

Device and SCSI drivers

•

Boot files required for booting the kernel. For example:
–

/unix

–

/boot

–

/etc/default/boot

–

/stand/vmunix

Important: 

To determine which boot files should not be overwritten during a 

recovery refer to the appropriate operating system documentation.

How to Install and Configure the UNIX Operating System

When recovering a UNIX operation system, you must reinstall the same 
version of UNIX and any patches that were in use prior to the disaster. Then 
configure only those features that enable the computer to communicate over 
the network. You can recover the remaining operating system configuration 
settings after reinstalling the NetWorker software.

You can recover the UNIX operating system back to the original computer or 
to a different computer.

To recover the operating system, complete the following tasks:

•

“Task 1: Install the Operating System” on page 30

•

“Task 2: Configure the Operating System” on page 30

•

“Task 3: Configure the Devices and Test the Operating System” on 
page 31

Important: 

Do not install the operating system from a UNIX X-Windows 

session. Instead, recover the operating system in single-user mode from the 
system console.
