How to print system database 1

[Mushr00m]

I need some recommended AIX commands to have
a RS/6000 system setting or user creation information
to be on print out on hardcopy/printer for system dissaster
recovery reference.

Example as shown below:

a) System default or global value setting
b) Network such as TCP/IP information setting
c) License/Software Instllation information
d) Print out on File System, such as PV's, VG's & LV's
e) System hardware configuration information
f) Use profiles/ID information for re-creation

I would suggest looking around in smitty and writing down commands it uses to get respective reports, and then putting it in one text file and printing out all at once

Setting printer is in fastpath smitty spooler, have a look at rootvg.net - it has fastpath list

The smit.script file is a great resource for that sort of command-harvesting.

I have a script that I run in cron that gets information about the system that may be use to you. I run the script every night and rcp the output to another system for safekeeping. I think this may be what you are looking for. Post your email address and I will send it to you.

We use a script to get the system information and ftp it to another machine which is a webserver. So we can access the information from the webpage. If you want to take a look at the script then give your email address.

Hello bi, anshudad and mushrOOm,

I saw MushrOOm's question, and I am also intrested in the scripts. My email address is: r.kraaijenvanger@ohra.nl

Thanks in advance.

If you want to go nuts... we run this every couple of months:

/usr/sbin/snap -a -d /tmp/snap

anshudad: maybe type your secret script in in FAQs?

Perhaps this can be of some help...It can be modified to add rc.net, and maybe other DNS stuff.......or special files...etc........vmtune, schedtune info etc....
Hope it helps.?
