The frecover command restores backup files made using the fbackup utility. The
-r option to the frecover command is generally used for recovering all files from
your backup; the -x option is used for restoring individual files to your system. For
complete details, see the frecover (1M) and fbackup (1M) manpages.
Selecting your HP-UX console for Itanium-based systems
You can skip this section if you are cold-installing on a PA-RISC system (it applies only
to Itanium-based systems) or you are already on the system console.
If you are cold-installing HP-UX or changing your system configuration, you will need
to select the correct console. If you have more than one possible console device (such
as a graphics adapter and a console serial device) and you have not configured your
system console correctly, your installation session may appear to hang as you may be
looking for output from the wrong device. Even if you have ordered a machine with
HP-UX pre-installed, you will want to choose your console, despite the factory defaults.
Depending on the firmware level of your Integrity server, you can select your primary
HP-UX console using one the following methods:
• The EFI conconfig command (if present)
• The EFI Boot Manager
NOTE: If you select either a system or an MP/iLO serial port, HP recommends you
choose a VT100-capable terminal device.
Serial port, MP/iLO and VGA device paths can vary between each Itanium-based
system. Refer to the appropriate platform documentation for your product for
information on determining the device paths.
You can find more information on the EFI Paths used for console selection in the Intel®
Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) documents available from the Intel website.
Determining if the conconfig command exists on your system
To decide which method to use, first determine if the conconfig command exists on
your system.
1. At the EFI prompt, enter the following command:
Shell> conconfig
• If the command exists, the system may return output similar to the following:
CONSOLE CONFIGURATION
Index Primary Type Device Path
