Using the HMC, activate the client logical partition and restore the backup. The
method is the same as though you were using a CD-ROM from the Virtual I/O

13.Activate the client partition using the HMC.
14.Open a terminal window or console session.
15.Click Advanced to open the Advanced options menu.
16.Click SMS for the boot mode.
17.Click OK to close the Advanced options menu.
18.Click OK again. A vterm window opens for the partition. The client logical
partition should now boot to the SMS menu.
