IBM i 6.1 restore - virtual optical device
Performing a restore follows the same 2-stage process in reverse:
1. The virtual media image file is restored from the SAS tape drive onto VIOS
disk using the VIOS command restore. The image file is then mounted on the
correct virtual optical drive assigned to the IBM i 6.1 partition and becomes
available as a volume from which to restore.
2. A standard IBM i 6.1 restore is performed from the volume using a restore
command or BRMS. A full system restore can be executed by first performing
a D-mode IPL from the virtual optical image, provided the image contains a
full system save performed previously.
IBM i 6.1 backup - virtual tape device
Performing an IBM i 6.1 Operating System backup to virtual tape is a one stage
process on the IBM BladeCenter JS23/JS43 blade:
1. Ensure the virtual tape device is assigned to the parathion you are performing
the backup on. To change or view the assignment use the View/Modify
Virtual Storage task, then select the Optical/tape tab. Under the Physical
Tape Devices section select the tape drive and use the Modify Partition
Assignment button.
Figure 7-68 on page 315 shows an example of the Physical Tape Devices option.
