Disaster Recovery Restores a previously saved PSM image of the system partition to a failed
machine. This will restore all configuration information on the machine. You
create the recovery boot diskette from the PSM tools in the Windows 2000
for NAS GUI.
Recovery CD Set Reinstalls the software to the original state as shipped on the machine;
however, does not restore configuration information (so configuration changes
you applied to the original shipped configuration are lost). You must first boot
with the Recovery Enablement Diskette, and then reboot with the Recovery
CD. To create the Recovery Enablement Diskette, run
\DiskImages\Recovdsk.bat on the Supplementary CD.
IBM NAS AutoRaid Diskette Resets the RAID configuration to its original configuration, or to the
departmental configuration when you change from a workgroup (tower)
configuration to a departmental (rack) configuration.
Integrated System Management
Processor (ISMP) configuration
program
Configures the ISMP that is integrated on the planar. To create this diskette,
run C:\IBM\ASMP\UPDATES\32P0303.EXE on the NAS 200 operating
system volume.
Remote Supervisor Adapter (RSA)
configuration program Configures the optional RSA. To create this diskette, run
C:\IBM\ASMP\UPDATES\33P2474.EXE on the NAS 200 operating system
volume.

attached to the same network as the NAS 200, enables you to remotely
