20debug
21 Call mondorestore with -K99
22
23denymods="mod1 mod2"
24 Add those modules to the list of modules to NOT load
25
26donteject
27 mondorestore will not eject the CD; this is useful if, for instance, your PC's case has a concealed CD-ROM drive
28
29excludedevs="dev1 dev2"
30 Exclude those evices from retoration process (no LVM action done suc has pvcreate, and no partitioning. Those devices are removed from /tmp/mountlist.txt and /tmp/i-want-my-lvm)
31
32forcemods="mod1 mod2"
33 Add those modules to the list of modules to load systematically
34
35net
36 Activate network support
37
38nodmraid
39 Do not try to start dmraid support
40
41nohw
42 Do not call the mindi-rsthw script which try to restore also your BIOSes configuration (Proliant only)
43
44nolvm
45 Do not try to start LVM support
46
47nomd
48 Do not try to start mdadm support
49
50nompath
51 Do not try to start multipath support
52
53nopart
54 Do not try to partition drives at restore time
55
56noresize
57 Do not resize partitions using a multiplication factor of (New disk size)/(Old disk size) to use your unallocated hard disk space
58
59obdr
60 Call mondorestore with -o and the tape device
61
62pre=/path/to/script
63 Execute a pre-configuration script before calling mondorestore. Could be an NFS shared script e.g., or a script located in the initrd.
64
65post=/path/to/script
66 Execute a final script before rebooting the machine at the end of the restoration. Could be an NFS shared script e.g., or a script located on the restored disk or in the initrd.
67
68serial=/dev/ttySx
69 When using a serial console, associate it to the tty device so it works correctly at restore time. By default set up /dev/ttyS0 as serial console. Pass the value of your serial console if different.
70
71textonly
72 do not call any Newt library routines; this is unattractive but valuable if you find your Newt library has bugs in it or on ia64
73
74usb=/dev/xxx
75 Use that USB device name as the place to look for backup content. The way drivers are loaded may lead that to the fact you have a different device name at restore time, compared to the one you used at backup time, making mondorestore unable to use the right device natively. This helper corrects that. Pass to it the device name, not the partition name. Example: usb=/dev/sdb
