Chapter 4: Restoring System Software
Using a Disaster
Recovery Tape
This section contains:
■ Introduction, 4-3
■ Prerequisites, 4-4
■ Material Required, 4-4
■ The Disaster-Recovery Process, 4-4
Introduction
Use of these instructions can be avoided by maintaining
system recovery tapes for your system(s).
A disaster recovery tape can be used to restore a system
when a system recovery tape is not available.
If a disaster recovery tape is used, you will be required
to re-establish both the /etc/bootptab and
/hp3070/diagnostics/th1/config files. If these two
files are not available (from a backup source), it will
likely be necessary to contact your Agilent systems
engineer (SE) to re-establish them.
CAUTION
✸
In the case of a system disaster, the cost and time
required to obtain an Agilent SE could be avoided
if you maintain a separate backup of the
/etc/bootptab and
/hp3070/diagnostics/th1/config files.
However, the need for a separate backup of these
two files should be eliminated by following a
practice of maintaining system recovery tapes for
your system(s); if you maintain system recovery
tapes, use of a disaster recovery tape should never
be necessary.
Disaster-recovery tapes are available from Agilent.
They are manufactured to bring a 3070 system to a
specific working revision of 3070 software.
Use these instructions if a system recovery tape does not
exist AND either:
■ A system disaster has occurred such as a disk
crash OR
■ A replacement disk drive has been installed.
