IVM rstprofdata command
Purpose
Restores profile data. This command is operable only in an Integrated Virtualization Manager environment.
Syntax
To restore logical partition configuration data from a file:
rstprofdata -l RestoreType [-f RestoreFile] [ --ignoremtms ] [ --ignoremac ] [ --ignorehea ] [ -m ManagedSystem ]
Description
The rstprofdata command performs a restore of logical partition configuration information from a file which was created with the bkprofdata command. Logical partition configuration must be cleared using the lpcfgop command before performing a restore operation. The restore operation may require a restart of the managed system, after which the rstprofdata command should be run again with the same parameters as were used the first time (before the system restart).
Flags
| Flag name | Description |
|---|---|
| -l RestoreType | The type of restore to perform. Valid options
are: 1 - full restore from the backup file |
| -f RestoreFile | The name of the file to read from in the current working directory. If not specified, the default file is "/var/adm/lpm/profile.bak" |
| --ignoremtms | Do not fail the restore operation if the type,
model, or serial number of the managed system does not match the values
in the backup file. This flag is used for the following primary reasons:
Note: If you use the -ignoremtms flag, new worldwide

| --ignorehea | Do not try to restore the Host Ethernet Adapter resources. |
| -m ManagedSystem | The name of the managed system. This attribute is optional because there is only one system to manage. The name may either be the user-defined name for the managed system, or be in the form tttt-mmm*ssssssss, where tttt is the machine type, mmm is the model, and ssssssss is the serial number of the managed system. |
