About this task

Procedure

From the navigation area, click HMC Management.
From the right work area, go to the Storage Server HMC Tasks section and click HMC Rebuild and Recovery. The HMC Rebuild and Recovery window opens.
Select Recover Storage Facility and HMC Data and click Submit.
The restore HMC and storage facility critical data process runs automatically. The data is restored from an LPAR copy; there is no DVD involved in this process. The process can take 5 - 15 minutes. You are informed by message panels about the success or failure of the restore.
When the process is complete, you are prompted to reboot the HMC. Click OK to proceed with the reboot.
If this is a dual-HMC configuration and you were directed to shut down the secondary management console (HMC2) as part of reloading the primary management console (HMC1), you might power on the secondary management console now.
Note: In dual-HMC configurations at LIC bundle VRMF 64.2.xxx.xxx or later, a newly reloaded primary management console cannot communicate with the LPARs without additional actions. At this point in MAP6210, you have either successfully recovered storage facility and HMC data on primary management console, or you will use MAP6220 to reload the management console with no backup data. In either case, you can power on the secondary management console now.
