To back up the system.

  1. Mount a write-enabled tape to create a backup SLT.

    :SYSGEN
    sysgen>TAPE
    sysgen>EXIT
  2. Dismount the tape, label as SLT with date, time and system version.

  3. We recommend that you stop two running diagnostics daemons in order to back up their files.

    :SYSDIAG
    DUI>DIAGSYSTEM SHOWACTIVE
    This gives the pids for the active daemons PSMON and
    MEMLOGP.
    DUI>DIAGSYSTEM ABORT PSMON_pid
    DUI>DIAGSYSTEM ABORT MEMLOGP_pid
    DUI>EXIT
  4. Mount another blank tape and perform a full system backup.

    :FILE T;DEV=TAPE
    :STORE /;*T;DIRECTORY;SHOW
  5. Dismount the tape, label as backup with date, time and system version.

  6. Restart the daemons.

    :SYSDIAG
    DUI>DIAGSYSTEM RUN PSMON
    DUI>DIAGSYSTEM RUN MEMLOGP
    DUI>DIAGSYSTEM SHOWACTIVE
    Verify that the daemons restarted.
    DUI>EXIT
