Before you Start:
If this is for a DR test – ensure the DR partition has no hardware errors
i.e.: disks and cache batteries are operational 3 to 7 days before.
***************************** A T T E N T I O N
*****************************************
These restore procedures will take several hours to complete.
DO NOT cancel any step unless directed to do so by you’re a GIS
Technical Representative or an IBM Technical Service Representative.
*****************************************************************************
****************
You will require the following information before proceeding with the
restore:
o BRMS “Recovering your Entire System” Report (Latest Copy!)
located at the following link (only accessible by GIS Technical
Support): \\3.58.164.230\brmsreports$
o Use the BRMS Recovery Volume Summary Report to determine where the
media volumes for the following reside. If they are Offsite, recall them
immediately stating you are in a Disaster situation: See Business
Recovery document for information on the Offsite storage vendor for your
business.
Most recent set of SAVSYS tapes,
Most recent set of SAVLIB *IBM tapes, (If any)
Most recent set of SAVLIB *NONSYS tapes,
Most recent set of SAVDLO tapes,
Most recent set of IFS tapes,
Most recent SAVSECDTA tape, (If any)
Most recent SAVCFG tape, (If any)
Most recent set of daily save tapes
o Disaster Recovery box GEDR#1 located offsite at Iron Mountain which
contains:
IBM Software Installation manual (Doc#: SC41-5120-05)
Backup & Recovery guide (SC41-5304), Appendix A will describe the
System Reference (SRC) codes that may be encountered during the
restoration process;
"Practical Approach to Managing Backup Recovery and Media Services"
Redbook, SG24-4840
"Automated Tape Library Planning and Management" book, SC41-5309.
o Details of the Third Party Application software license keys for the DR
system
(See Appendix F, entitled “THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE INFORMATION”)
o The IBM Licensed Internal code CD (I-BASE_01) for your system.
NOTE:
If tape drive is Fiber attached you need the CD
If tape drive is SCSI attached you can IPL from Tape and do
not need the CD.
o The Device manual for the tape device that is your alternate IPL device. It
describes other SRC codes you might see.
In addition, the Business Recovery document (Appendix) will contain a copy of
the following documents:
DR Preparation Checklist
Offsite Storage Information
Subsystems, Output queues Active when in Production Mode & Any Special
Instructions on the Business Application
Third Party software Information and contacts
IP Configuration settings
Prior Test results
IMPORTANT: Before starting the restore procedure, ensure (if possible) the tape
drive heads have been cleaned
NOTE: If you are recovering at a DR Site, Please consult with the Vendor Representative
regarding how your disk has been pre-configured on the SAN. This can affect the
method and amount of time required to Zero-out the disks.
******************************** A T T E N T I O N

*********************************************************************************
*****
NOTE: 1. Ensure your I_BASE-01 cd is loaded at this point.
If tape drive is Fiber attached you need the CD.
If tape drive is SCSI attached you can IPL from Tape and do not
need the CD.
2. Ensure you know the bus # of the tape drive.
3. Check if the disks are RAID or Mirroring.
4. All the backups are encrypted. Please check the DR
infrastructure doc for the DR
site to verify that the ATL is configured properly to an EKLM
server.
Step 1: Restore Licensed Internal Code
START TIME: _______ ___________
Note: Service Tools user ids and authorities are not carried forward when
migrating to a new machine. You must go in and reset Service Tools user ids to
known GE passwords and authorities.
For more details on this section, refer to the procedure for "Recovering
the Licensed Internal Code" in the "Backup and Recovery" book.
1. Ensure that the power switch for the Alternate IPL (Tape) device is powered
on and the device is READY.
2. If it’s a standalone drive, insert a cleaning tape into the Alternate IPL (Tape)
device before proceeding.
3. Ensure that the Console display is powered on.
4. If this is an LPARed system on a i5 hardware:
Find the HMC IP address in file
\\cansvr01corpge\gsdcanada_docs$\7x24 l3\Partition DR info.xls
Access the HMC through web browser using the above IP
Change the IPL setting of the partition to D M
Make sure the CD/DVD drive from the file ‘Partition DR info is on and
assigned to the partition
5. Load the correct version of IBM Licensed Internal code CD (I-BASE_01)
in the optical device (OPT01) if the tape drive you will be restoring from is on
a Bus other than Bus 1.
NOTE: If tape drive is Fiber attached you need the CD
If tape drive is SCSI attached you can IPL from Tape and do
not need the CD.
6. Load the most current weekly backup (SAVSYS) tapes. The Volume Id’s will
be identified on the BRMS Recovering your entire system report.
*VERY IMPORTANT: If you scratched the system using I_BASE_01, the First
Console logon will be QSECOFR from the save tape. The second GUI logon will
be the QSECOFR from the CD (password QSECOFR). Be careful as if entered
incorrectly it can disable QSECOFR. If LAN console is used, it may attempt to
logon once already using the PC configuration therefore you might only have
2 times to try before disabled.
Note: Refer to the IBM Software Installation manual or the Backup and Recovery
Guide Appendix A for System reference codes that may be encountered during
the restoration process.
7. The Select a Language Group screen will be displayed. Press Enter to
select the Language feature.
8. Confirm the primary language is the same as production (mostly
2924) and press enter.
9. The Install Licensed Internal Code menu will appear on the console.
Select option 3: Define Alternate Installation device to verify the address
and validity of the alternate IPL device.

There are no disk units eligible for the selected operation due to one or more of the following reasons:
- All the Device parity capable disk units are already device parity protected. - Maximum number of arrays exceeded.
- An IOP is in a condition that makes the disk units attached to it read/write protected. Examine the product activity log for any reference codes that are logged for the IO subsystem and follow the appropriate procedure for the reference code to correct the problem, if necessary.
- Not all disk units attached to an advanced function IOP have reported to the system. Retry the operation.
- All the disk units in a parity set must be the same capacity with a minimum number of 4 disk units and a maximum of 10 units in the resulting parity set.

2. In the above excerpt from the BRMS report, make a note of the Saved-item,
Sequence-number and Volume-identifier. These need to be inserted into the
RSTLIB command and run for each of the Saved items. I.e.: You will run the
command 5 times.
Please also note the importance of the OBJECTS column. It is strongly
advised that you pay close attention to the number of objects actually
restored after running each command and compare it to the report. In most
cases, they should match. If there are discrepancies, you need to determine
what/why by displaying your job log (DSPJOBLOG)
3. Type the command: CHGMSGQ MSGQ(QSYSOPR) DLVRY(*NOTIFY)
SEV(99) to prevent messages not related to the recovery from interrupting
the recovery process.
4. Type: WRKCFGSTS CFGTYPE(*DEV) CFGD(*TAP) and press Enter. Note
the name assigned to the tape drive (device-name).
5. Ensure that the tape drive (or Media Library) is Varied on. Type the following
command:
VRYCFG DEV(TAPxx) STATUS(*ON)
6. Run the RSTLIB command below for each of the items listed on the BRMS
“Recovering your Entire System” report for this step. The SAVLIB
(Saved-item), VOLID (Volume-identifier) and SEQNBR (Sequence-number) parameter
details are listed on the report. (See screen print above for an example):
If the type of save is *FULL, type the following command at the command
line:
RSTLIB SAVLIB(Saved-item) DEV(TAPxx) VOL(Volume-identifier)
SEQNBR(Sequence-number) OUTPUT(*PRINT) ENDTAP(*LEAVE)
ALWOBJDIF(*ALL) MBROPT(*ALL)
If the type of save is *CUML or *INCR, type the following command at the
command line:
RSTOBJ OBJ(*ALL) SAVLIB(Saved-item) DEV(TAPxx)
VOL(Volume-identifier) SEQNBR(Sequence-number) OUTPUT(*PRINT)
ENDTAP(*LEAVE) ALWOBJDIF(*ALL) MBROPT(*ALL)
IMPORTANT: Check your BRMS report for DETAILS of libraries to be
restored.
If access paths were not saved when the QUSRBRM library was saved, the
access paths will be rebuilt when the library is restored. Verify rebuild of the
access paths for files in the QUSRBRM library is complete before proceeding
to the next step. To verify the rebuild, type the following command and Press
Enter: EDTRBDAP
