Maintaining disk drives
Issue 3.3 February 2003 129
Restoring the /cms filesystem (R3V6 and earlier) – After administering the replacement
disk, you must now restore the /cms filesystem. This procedure is for CMS R3V6 and
earlier.
To restore the /cms filesystem on the replacement disk drive:
1. Enter:
ulimit unlimited
2. Restore the most recent CMSADM backup by loading the backup tape into the tape
drive and entering the following command on a single line at the command prompt:
nohup cpio -icmudv -C 10240 -I /dev/rmt/<dev#> -M “Insert
tape number %d” “/cms” “/cms/*” | tee
The device number (<dev#>) is usually 0c, but could be 0, 1, or 1c.
Note:
Note: You may get four error messages concerning the /home directory. These
errors are displayed when the directory is already present, so you can
ignore them.
3. Turn on CMS.
4. Restore any CMS maintenance backups you have that are dated after the latest
CMSADM backup. See the CMS Administration document for more information.
5. Perform a CMSADM file system backup to back up the updated system configuration.
See your CMS software installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting document for
details.
