Re: HMC Save Critical Console Data

Depends on how long since you've done a reload from the recovery DVDs and how many fixes you've put on the thing. This save is everything since the last rebuild of the HMCs. Often over a GB if the things been upgraded a time or two.

working on the brand new HMC, though)... how sizable are these particular
backups usually?

I have had issues but it has been a *LONG time, like early in the V4
code stream of HMC. Of course I don't back up to DVD very often any
longer I use the 'back up to remote server' option and push it to a
i5/OS partition and/or to my laptop.  If it gets to i5/OS then it gets
backed up to tape later.

Alright... fixes are done without too much trouble (the Infocenter

updates

were LONG downloads), but my 'Save Critical Console Data' operation still
goes to the DVD and runs for hours with the light flashing.  I've got a

PMR

open on it and will hopefully go further with IBM on the issue today.

Anyone ever run into problems with this HMC save?
