Backing up critical HMC data - Using the Command Line Interface =============================================================== Use the command : bkconsdata -r dvd

Backing up partition profile data - Using the Command Line Interface Use the command:bkprofdata -m <MTMS> -f dvd where <MTMS> is the machine type and serial number of the managed system.

Backing up critical HMC data - Using the GUI (WebSM) Interface Describes how to back up important console information to DVD, a remote system m ounted to the HMC file system (such as NFS), or a remote site through FTP. Using the HMC, you can back up all important data, such as the following: User-preference files User information HMC platform-configuration files

 HMC log files HMC updates via Install Corrective Service Note: The archived data should be used only in conjunction with a reinstallation of the HMC from the product CDs. For information about how to reinstall the HMC , see Reinstalling the HMC machine code. The Backup function saves the HMC data stored on the HMC hard disk to DVD, a rem ote system mounted to the HMC file system (such as NFS), or a remote site throug h FTP. Back up the HMC after you have made changes to the HMC or to the informat ion associated with logical partitions. Note: The DVD must be formatted in the DVD-RAM format before data can be saved t o the DVD. To back up the HMC, you must be a member of one of the following roles: super administrator operator service representative To back up the HMC, do the following: 1) In the Navigation area, click the Licensed Internal Code Maintenance icon. 2) In the Contents area, click the HMC Code Update icon. 3) Select Back up Critical Console Data. 4) Select an archive option. You can back up to DVD on the HMC, back up to a rem ote system mounted to the HMC file system (such as NFS), or a remote site throug h FTP. 5) Follow the instructions on the panel to back up the data.

Backing up partition profile data - Using the GUI (WebSM) Interface Describes how to back up profile data on the HMC. To back up partition profile data, you must be a member of one of the following roles: super administrator service representative To back up partition profile data, do the following: 1) 2) 3) 4) In the Contents area, select the managed system. From the menu, click Selected > Profile Data > Backup. Type the name you want to use for this backup file. Click OK.
