The Backup Sequence Number and Autoloader used? options are the same as previously described.
However, there is a Parallel Read Policy which should be set to “y” if the backup was created using a
Parallel Tape Device .
If the backup was created using a Parallel Tape Device , you must select all tape drives that make up this
device and enter “y” for Parallel Read Policy. The devices previously configured on the system are not
known when booting in installation mode, so this option provides you a method of defining a parallel tape
device on the local system. You must select at least two drives from the list. To do so, highlight the desired
entry and press Enter. An arrow (==>) will appear next to each option selected.
Important: You must select the same number of devices used to create the backup
and you must select them in the same order as they were previously configured
You may also use sequential tape devices to restore from the backup if the backup spans multiple tapes
and you want the installation to automatically span the tapes inserted in different devices. This option is
identical to the use of a
Sequential Tape Device . The devices previously configured on the system are not
known when booting in installation mode, so this option provides you a method of defining sequential
devices on the local system.
You must select at least two drives from the list. To do so, highlight the desired entry and press Enter. An
arrow (==>) will appear next to each option selected.
Important: You must select the devices in the same order in which they will be read.
Select Local Disk Backup
If you configured a locally-attached (or SAN-attached) disk for system backup/recovery (refer to SBAdmin
User Guide ), and you performed the System Backup to a configured local system backup disk, you may
reinstall the system using that backup. If you select this option, the system will be scanned for one or more
system backup disks, and then the disks will be queried for available system backups. If any are found, a
screen similar to the following will appear, from which you may select the backup to restore:
