Hi Sriram,
it is hard to describe remotely how to restore a backup. There are too many "variables" to consider. How "crashed" is the OS? Did you "scratch" the system? Or did you keep the disk configuration and just perform a "slip" install of the operating system? Is the available backup a full system save, or does it consist of multiple pieces?
If your backup system needed to be scratched and you had a full system save available, the recovery steps would be:
- Install Licensed Internal Code and recover disk configuration.
- Install the Operating System.
- When the system is up, end all subsystems.
- Restore all user profiles.
- Restore all configuration objects.
- Restore all libraries (this does not include the database library R3<sid>DATA, since it is on the iASP and does not need to be restored).
- Restore all IFS objects (again, only those on the system ASP, not the ones on the iASP).
- Restore authorities.
You may want to consider asking an experienced IBM i expert for some support.
Kind regards,
Christian Bartels.
