need a CD with the current IRIX operating system level. If you are recovering data from
a tape on a remote tape device, you must know the hostname, tape device name, and IP
address of the remote system.

Note:
Personal System Administration Guide. For information on installing the operating system
or other software, see the Installation Instructions included with your CDs.
