Re: check list for reloading an AS/400

I can come up with one... But the Backup and Recovery Guide should cover 
it. You will loose spool files with opt# 21 but everything else should be 
there.


Very Basic Steps from Memory


#1 SET IPL OPTION to "D"
#1a SET to MANUAL 
#2 Insert 1st tape of 21
#3 IPL
#4 when stops with a6xx 6001 or screen on console... tell it to "INSTALL" 
LIC
#5 Once DST shows up tell it to INSTALL OS
#6 Add ALL the disks back at this point
#7 For the most part take the defaults (I would change qautocfg to *yes)
#8 Sign on as QSECOFR with pwd QSECOFR
#9 GO RESTORE
#10 OPT21 and sit back...

I want to completely reload a system that has been saved
using Option 21 - Save Entire System.  I want to scratch the
disks, reload LIC, profiles, everything...  I don't need to
reconfigure the disks or change RAID or mirroring.  Is it
possibly option 21 - Restore Entire System?  I have been clicking
around with Ops Nav for the last several hours and I don't see any
options that look like they will help.

I don't do this very often.  Seems like there are
several screens and options that I have trouble remembering
which is the right way to go.  So I try doing an "automatic install"
and that turns out not to be correct, so I try this option, then
that...  and about 8 hours later it is done.

Does anyone have a checklist
that summarizes the steps?

Thanks a bunch,
