Adding hardware to an active Sidewinder G2

The Restore Full System Backup command will prompt you to insert a
backup DAT; this is the DAT that you created when you did the level 0
backup.
10 [Conditional] If needed, change partitioning information.
During the boot process the Default Disk Allocation screen displays the
default values. If you need to modify the values, tab to Configure and then
press Enter.
Note: You may need to modify these values if you installed new hardware.
Otherwise, it is recommended that you use either the default values or whatever
values that were set when the system backup was performed.
11 Insert the DAT and wait for the tape to reach its load-point. Press Enter to
initiate the restore process. The restore process will repartition the drives
and reload the system files from the tape.
12 When the restore is finished, the following message will appear:
File restore complete.
13 Remove the DAT and CD-ROM from their drives.
14 Press Enter to reboot the system to the Administrative kernel.
15 If needed, restore any incremental backups. See “Performing an
incremental restore via the do.restore script” on page 643 for information.
16 Perform a new full system (level 0) backup.
Important: Do this even if you have not restored any old incremental backups.
Performing a new level 0 backup might seem unnecessary at this point, but it
must be done in order for future incremental backups to remain in sync with the
new file structure. Problems are likely to occur if you perform a new incremental
backup at some later date and then try to restore the system without having first
performed a full system backup.
17 When the full system backup is complete, enter the following command to
reboot to the Operational kernel:
shutdown -r now
The hardware is now successfully added.
