Note: A backup to CD/DVD has additional configuration requirements. There
are also many additional flags, options, and potential considerations of the
/usr/sbin/mksbcd command. For details about using this feature, refer to the
/usr/lpp/sysback/README.udf.dvdcd.txt file.
One-time network boot configuration
To do a one-time network boot configuration, log in to pluto (boot server to the
new partition) and execute the command /usr/sbin/mksbnetboot -h
new_partition_hostname -d your_network_type -T chrp -k mp -S server_ip
-g client_gateway -s client_subnet in order to define pluto as a network boot
client and to build the required boot image.
Note: The values allowed for the variable your_network_type are Ethernet or
token ring. If your client and server are on the same subnet (the client does
not require a gateway to get to the server), input the server address again for
the client_gateway variable. This command also assumes that the IP and host
name of the new partition have been defined in your network environment.
Sample network boot
To network boot the new partition (network boot client) from the pluto partition
(network boot server), do the following operations:
1. Boot the new partition to the SMS menu.
2. Select Multiboot.
3. Select Select Install Device.
4. Select the desired network interface to use for the network boot process.
5. Type X two times to return to the main SMS menu.
6. Select Remote Initial Program Load.
7. Select IP parameters.
8. Input the same server IP address, client IP address, client gateway, and client
subnet mask values that were used in the SysBack network boot
configuration.
Note: If your client and server are on the same subnet (the client does not
require a gateway to get to the server), specify the server address again for
the client_gateway variable.
9. Type X to return to the Remote Initial Program Load menu.
10.Select Adapter Parameters.
