    1 At restore time, multiple parameters are available to modify how the restore will act:
     1Multiple parameters are available at restore time to modify its behaviour:

    18 --------------
    19 
    20 debug
    21     Call mondorestore with -K99
    22 
    23 denymods="mod1 mod2"
    24     Add those modules to the list of modules to NOT load
    25 
    26 donteject
    27     mondorestore will not eject the CD; this is useful if, for instance, your PC's case has a concealed CD-ROM drive
    28 
    29 excludedevs="dev1 dev2"
    30     Exclude those devices from retoration process (no LVM action done such as pvcreate, and no partitioning. Those devices are removed from /tmp/mountlist.txt and /tmp/i-want-my-lvm)
    31 
    32 forcemods="mod1 mod2"
    33     Add those modules to the list of modules to load systematically
    34 
    35 net
    36     Activate network support
    37 
    38 nodmraid
    39     Do not try to start dmraid support
    40 
    41 nohw
    42     Do not call the mindi-rsthw script which try to restore also your BIOSes configuration (ProLiant only for now)
    43 
    44 nolvm
    45     Do not try to start LVM support
    46 
    47 nomd
    48     Do not try to start mdadm support
    49 
    50 nompath
    51     Do not try to start multipath support
    52 
    53 nopart
    54     Do not try to partition drives at restore time
    55 
    56 noresize
    57     Do not resize partitions using a multiplication factor of (New disk size)/(Old disk size) to use your unallocated hard disk space
    58 
    59 obdr
    60     Call mondorestore with -o and the tape device
    61 
    62 obdrmods="mod1 mod2"
    63     Remove these modules in order to be able to reset the tape dvice using it and place it in sequential mode. A default list of modules is aloready embedded so this should only be used if the list is unsufficient. Please report that usage to dev team.
    64 
    65 pre=/path/to/script
    66     Execute a pre-configuration script before calling mondorestore. Could be an NFS shared script e.g., or a script located in the initrd. Eg: pre=/tmp/isodir/my-pre.sh. Note that the script should be executable.
    67 
    68 post=/path/to/script
    69     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. Eg: post=/tmp/isodir/my-post.sh. Note that the script should be executable.
    70 
    71 quiet
    72     Do not print information msgs in order to allow for easier tracking of error messages at boot time
    73 
    74 serial=/dev/ttySx
    75     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. You may also want to pass console=ttySx so your kernel can deal with it. serial takes precedence over console for mindi.
    76 
    77 textonly
    78     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
    79 
    80 usb=/dev/xxx
    81     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
    82 
    83 -----------------
     9debug       Call mondorestore with -K99
     10denymods    List of modules to NOT load (using denymods="mod1 mod2")
     11donteject   mondorestore will not eject the CD
     12            Useful if your PC's case has a concealed CD-ROM drive

     14            No LVM action done such as pvcreate, and no partitioning

     16            (using  excludedevs="dev1 dev2")
     17forcemods   List of modules to load first (using forcemods="mod1 mod2")
     18net         Activate network support
     19nodmraid    Do not try to start dmraid support
     20nohw        Do not call the mindi-rsthw script to restore your HW configuration
     21nolvm       Do not try to start LVM support
     22nomd        Do not try to start mdadm support
     23nompath     Do not try to start multipath support
     24nopart      Do not try to partition drives at restore time
     25noresize    Do not resize partitions using a factor of (New size)/(Old size)
     26            to use your unallocated hard disk space
     27obdr        Call mondorestore with -o and the tape device
     28obdrmods    List of modules to remove to reset the OBDR tape device using them
     29            to place it in sequential mode. A default list is already embedded.
     30            (using obdrmods="mod1 mod2")
     31pre         Execute a pre-configuration script before calling mondorestore.
     32            Could be located on an NFS share or in the initrd.
     33            Should be executable. (using pre=/tmp/isodir/my-pre.sh)
     34post        Execute a script before rebooting the machine after the restoration
     35            Could be located on an NFS share, the restored disk or the initrd
     36            Should be executable.  (using post=/tmp/isodir/my-post.sh)
     37quiet       Do not print information msgs for easier tracking of error messages
     38serial      Device for the serial console. By default /dev/ttyS0.
     39            Pass also console=ttySx for your kernel. (using serial=/dev/ttySx)
     40            Serial takes precedence over console for mindi.
     41textonly    Do not call the GUI. Unattractive but workk around if Newt has bugs
     42usb         USB device name of backup content (not partition).
     43            Help solve device renaming at restore time. (using usb=/dev/sdxx)
