Re: backup & recovery commands

Hi Goh,

The make_recovery is part of the Ignite package, on your distribution CDROM.
You'll have to install ignite (free product)

To interrupt the boot process, hit any key during the boot sequence. A message on the console will suggest you to do so within 10 seconds.

Then, answer yes at the 'interact with ISL' prompt.

Once you have the ISL prompt, type 'sea IPL'
