I use an IPL tape which consists of the original install kernel, parmfile,
and ramdisk. I write them to the tape several times so I dont have to
rewind to IPL again, and use that tape to recover from such system
problems. It's basically loke the win95 rescue floppy on a PC. It will give
you all <most> of the tools needed to recover a munged IPL record on an IPL
pack, or to restore from backup tapes.

Hi there,
This is a question related to running a Linux in a LPAR.
If a Linux residence DASD crashes I could restore the backup to a different
DASD. However, to be able to IPL the system I have to mount it to a
different system in order to change the parmfile and after running silo I
can IPL the system.
This means: For a LINUX running in a LPAR I have to provide another volume
with an emergency system on it which I could IPL. Then I could do what I
desribed above.
IMHO, this is really awkward.
Is there any way to do it an easier way?
