ADSM V3 DRM Disk Image Dump and Restore

Restoring a Disk Image

Ensure that you use the set of diskettes configured for the machine.

1. Place the DRMBOOT diskette in the machine's diskette drive and boot the machine.

2. Insert the other diskettes (DRMDSK1, DRMDSK2, and DRMADSM) as requested by prompts on the screen.

3. Verify the TCP/IP and other ADSM parameters that appear on the screen. Press F4 when done.

4. Start the restore of the disk image by entering the following command:

   dumprest /p password
   

   where password is the ADSM password for the machine. The DR> prompt should appear.

5. To determine the disk image backups that are available for the machine, enter the following command at the DR> prompt:

   query dump
   

6. Restore the disk image by entering the RESTORE command. For example, to restore the disk in the first physical position in the machine, enter the following command at the DR> prompt:

   restore disk 1
   

   The number 1 indicates the physical position of the disk that you want to restore.

   Attention:

   • The restore operation destroys any data that is currently on the disk.

   • If you are restoring the disk image because you replaced an IDE disk drive, do not run the computer's CMOS Setup routines for recognizing the new drive. You must leave the CMOS Setup as it was for the original drive. See Replacement Disk Drive Has Different Geometry than the Original Disk Drive for more information.

7. To end the program, enter the following command at the DR> prompt:

   quit
   

8. To return to normal operations with the machine, remove the diskette from the drive and boot the machine.
