Backup Tasks
During a
configuration backup, the serial number is backed up with the configuration.
The number is restored when you
restore the configuration. The number is not preserved when you run the
Recovery CD ( Embedded)
or perform a repair operation (
Installable).
You can back up and restore
configuration information as follows.
- Back up the configuration by using thevicfg-cfgbackupcommand.
- Run the Recovery CD or repair operation.
- Restore the configuration by using thevicfg-cfgbackupcommand.
When you restore a
configuration, you must make sure that all virtual machines on the host are
stopped.
