Follow these steps to specify the bootable media needed to reinitialize or reinstall an operating system on a client machine and to associate machines with media. You can also associate non-executable media such as application user guides with client machines.
define recoverymedia tellerwrkstnimage type=boot volumenames=aix001,aix002,aix003 product="AIX 4.3" location="Building 21"
You should define the recovery media after a client machine configuration changes. For example, after you have installed a new level of AIX on a client machine and created a bootable image using mksysb, issue the DEFINE RECOVERYMEDIA command to define the new mksysb volumes.
To query your recovery media definitions, issue the QUERY RECOVERYMEDIA command with the FORMAT=DETAILED parameter.
define recmedmachassociation tellerwrkstnimage mach255
update recoverymedia tellerwrkstnimage location=ironvault
You can define media that contain softcopy manuals that you would need during recovery. For example, to define a CD-ROM containing the AIX 4.3 manuals that are on volume CD0001, enter:
define recoverymedia aix43manuals type=other volumes=cd0001 description="AIX 4.3 Bookshelf"
