r3168 r3173 1 At restore time, multiple parameters are available to modify how the restore will act:1 Multiple parameters are available at restore time to modify its behaviour: 2 2 3 nuke 4 To format and restore all files automatically 3 nuke To format and restore all files automatically 4 interactive To restore some/all files interactively 5 compare To compare the archives with your filesystem 6 expert To boot to a command-line prompt (expert mode) 7 RESTORE To format and restore all files automatically 5 8 6 interactive 7 To restore some/all files interactively 8 9 compare 10 To compare the archives with your filesystem 11 12 expert 13 To boot to a command-line prompt (expert mode) 14 15 RESTORE 16 To format and restore all files automatically 17 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 ----------------- 9 debug Call mondorestore with -K99 10 denymods List of modules to NOT load (using denymods="mod1 mod2") 11 donteject mondorestore will not eject the CD 12 Useful if your PC's case has a concealed CD-ROM drive 13 excludedevs Exclude those devices from restoration process 14 No LVM action done such as pvcreate, and no partitioning 15 They are removed from /tmp/mountlist.txt and /tmp/i-want-my-lvm 16 (using excludedevs="dev1 dev2") 17 forcemods List of modules to load first (using forcemods="mod1 mod2") 18 net Activate network support 19 nodmraid Do not try to start dmraid support 20 nohw Do not call the mindi-rsthw script to restore your HW configuration 21 nolvm Do not try to start LVM support 22 nomd Do not try to start mdadm support 23 nompath Do not try to start multipath support 24 nopart Do not try to partition drives at restore time 25 noresize Do not resize partitions using a factor of (New size)/(Old size) 26 to use your unallocated hard disk space 27 obdr Call mondorestore with -o and the tape device 28 obdrmods 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") 31 pre 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) 34 post 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) 37 quiet Do not print information msgs for easier tracking of error messages 38 serial 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. 41 textonly Do not call the GUI. Unattractive but workk around if Newt has bugs 42 usb USB device name of backup content (not partition). 43 Help solve device renaming at restore time. (using usb=/dev/sdxx) 84 44 85 45 Look also at README.pxe for additional parameters linked to the PXE/Network usage
