4.1.9 Notes on Replicating a System

You can use the OS's

mksysb

command to back up hosts that include HDLM-managed

devices. If you then replicate (clone) a system from a mksysb image created in this

manner onto another LPAR or host, you must update the HDLM information to match

that of the destination system's environment.
To update the HDLM information to match that of the destination system's

environment, use the following procedure to execute the HDLM restoration support

utility (

dlmpostrestore

) after you have restored the mksysb image.

To update HDLM information:
1.

After restoring the image, log in to the activated host as a user with root

permissions.

2.

Execute the

dlmpostrestore

utility.


# /usr/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlmpostrestore

(

is displayed in a local boot disk environment, and

KAPL10555-I

y

in

response to this message.
If you executed the utility in a boot disk environment, you must then restart the
