Restore the VME for D3

  1. Backup PIBS, USER-COLDSTART, USERS and MDS entries that will have to be restored. (Example: SYSFILES (S in TCL in PM). If you do a nightly backup then this step is not necessary since it is done during the backup.


  1. Make sure everyone is logged OFF the system. Start an AccuTerm session (or Go to the taskbar and click START > RUN > then type in TELNET, and press OK, under CONNECT chose local host and then press enter). At the logon prompt, log in as DM for the user name and then DM for the master dictionary, and then type in SHUTDOWN. It will ask you if you want to continue, enter “Y” for “yes”. The connection to the host will be lost after the VME shutdown.


NOTE: If the CMD icon is on the desktop then double click it and go to step 6


  1. Start an MSDOS Command Prompt (Start > RUN > and then type in CMD and press ENTER.).


  1. At the prompt, type in D:

(When you press “c” the first time it will load some files, then it will stop and you need to press “c” a second time but it may not specifically ask you to press the “c”. You will not need to press ENTER.)
