I'm doing my annual disaster recovery test in Chicago soon. The way
we handle OpenVMS and AS/400 is to have the recovery system booted to
the same version of OS as our home system. We restore the backup sets
to another drive on the recovery system (a drive other than the one
from which the recovery system was booted). The after a successful
restore we boot from the restored drive. Last time we ran into
problems with booting from the restore drive. How to make the
restored drive a bootable device?
It should go like this:
1. boot system from re0a
2. restore to re1a, re1g, re1?.....
3. boot system from re1a
The question is how to make re1a bootable. All file systems are
advfs. OS is 4.0D. There was a summary in the archive sort of
pertaining to this question from earlier this year but I don't think
it was entirely applicable.
