options</h1>
|

|
|
<div><p>This topic discusses different Linux<sup>®</sup> recovery options.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>In the case where a Linux server fails to start, there are options that
|
|||
|
|
allow you to boot from external media and potentially recover the server.
|
|||
|
|
These Linux recovery
|
|||
|
|
functions include:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<ul><li>Rescue diskette</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Recovery mode CD-ROM</li>
|
|||
|
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
|
<p>The Rescue diskette and Recovery mode CD-ROM functions are intended to
|
|||
|
|
provide you with a means of recovering a Linux server that fails to start. While
|
|||
|
|
it can be possible to use either of these techniques to recover an integrated Linux server,
|
|||
|
|
they are designed for standalone servers. Note that you could only use these
|
|||
|
|
techniques with an Integrated xSeries<sup>®</sup> Adapter-attached xSeries server
|
|||
|
|
because the xSeries can
|
|||
|
|
boot directly from the diskette and CD-ROM drives. An Integrated xSeries Server
|
|||
|
|
card does not have its own diskette or CD-ROM drives and therefore cannot
|
|||
|
|
boot from the Rescue diskette or Recovery mode CD-ROM. </p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>If you are unable to recover a failed standalone Linux server
|
|||
|
|
then your only other alternative is to rebuild it. In the case of an integrated Linux server,
|
|||
|
|
you should rarely, if ever, need to either use the Linux recovery options or rebuild the
|
|||
|
|
server because you can save a complete image of the server using <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> storage space backup. In this
|
|||
|
|
case, all you need to do to recover a failed server is to restore a previously
|
|||
|
|
saved copy of the server’s drives (storage spaces) and then restart it. Note
|
|||
|
|
that you might need to also restore volatile files from your
|
|||
|
|
file-level backup to make sure that the data is up-to-date. </p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>You can effectively use these techniques to eliminate the need for the
|
|||
|
|
Rescue diskette and Recovery mode CD-ROM options that are available to recover
|
|||
|
|
a standalone Linux server.</p>
