To back up the system.

  1. Mount a write-enabled tape to create a backup SLT.

    :SYSGEN
    sysgen>TAPE
    sysgen>EXIT
  2. Dismount the tape, label as SLT with date, time and system version.

  3. We recommend that you stop running the STM diagnostics daemon in oreder to back up the files associatedd with it. To do this, call up cstm and execute the "stmshutdown" command (shortcut "ssd").

    :cstm
    ...
    cstm>stmshutdown
    --Support Tool System Shutdown--
    The Support Toiol system will be shutdown.

    If the local system is currently connected it will be disconnected prior to attempting the shutdown.
    ...
    The Support Tool system may only be shutdown and restarted by the root user. Are you sure you want ot shutdown the Support Tool system?
    Enter Cancel, Help, or OK: [Cancel] ok
  4. Mount another blank tape and perform a full system backup.

    :FILE T;DEV=TAPE
    :STORE /;*T;DIRECTORY;SHOW
  5. Dismount the tape, label as backup with date, time and system version.

  6. Restart the STM daemon by calling up cstm and executing the "stmstartup" command (shortcut "ssu").

    :cstm
    An unexpected error was encountered while attempting to retrieve the host infor for hostname (hpdst2)
    This could be due to either or the following conditions:

    1)The support tool daemon "diagmond" may not be running on that system. Use the STM Startup command (in the administration menu under the file menu.)
    ...
    (cstm will eventually come up)
    ...
    cstm>stmstartup
    cstm>exit
    • Backing Up Your System completed. Go to the next section on your checklist.
