Creating an AIX Recovery DVD

DR550 has setup AIX and other software to create a very secure environment. The settings are not
the typical AIX settings. Should a problem occur, using the standard AIX recovery tools would not
ensure that the same setup exists. You should use the following procedures to create a recovery
DVD for the AIX server(s).
