NAME

smsrestore - restore the SMS environment

SYNOPSIS

smsrestore filename

smsrestore -h

smsrestore(1M) restores the operational environment of the SMS from a backup file created by smsbackup(1M). Use smsrestore to restore the SMS environment after the SMS software has been installed on a new disk.

Turn off failover and stop SMS before running smsrestore; start SMS and turn on failover, if you want, afterward. For information about manually starting and stopping SMS refer to the System Management Services (SMS) 1.4 Installation Guide .

If any errors occur, smsrestore writes error messages to /var/sadm/system/logs/smsrestore.

Note – If the main SMS environment has changed since the backup file was created-- for example, by shutting down a domain-- you must run smsbackup(1M) again in order to maintain a current backup file for the system controller.
