Backup and Restore System Guide
3-2 Common Controller
• Any soft fonts that have been loaded on the system
• Contents of the hosts and hosts.equiv files
• The allowable users
• Any customer–specific passwords
NOTE: In the event of a software upgrade or install by Xerox,
Xerox is not responsible for the restoration of the above items to
the DocuSP controller.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that a complete system image
be backed up to tape or a remote location on a regular basis.
Having a current system image stored separate from the
DocuSP controller will ensure that in the event of a failure of the
system or the hard disks, the system can be easily restored.
Refer to the appropriate SUN documentation for additional
information on saving a system image.
Restore
If only a software upgrade is performed on the DocuSP
controller, the system configuration information will typically be
retained.
During the upgrade, the Xerox Customer Service Representative
will provide a hardcopy of the system configuration information,
such as the contents of the /etc/hosts and /etc/hosts.equiv files,
the list of user names from the /etc/passwd file, and gateway
information from any installed optional gateways. If any
information needs to be recreated, the hardcopy will assist the
System Administrator in restoring the system. Any customized
software, saved files, or unique third–party information will have
to be restored by the System Administrator. If a hardware
installation is performed and there is no system image saved, the
System Administrator will have to restore or re-enter, at a
minimum, all of the information included on the hardcopy output
provided by the Xerox Customer Service Representative.
