NAME

       bttape - Bootable Tape Creation utility

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/sysman bttape [-ui cui | gui [-display displayname] ]

OPTIONS

       Specifies  the  user  interface to be invoked.  The choices are: Invokes the command line interface.  Invokes the graphical user interface.
       Specific command line options that will be used to interact.

DESCRIPTION

       The Bootable Tape Creation utility is used by the system administrator to create a bootable system image, that  consists  of  a	standalone
       kernel  and  copies  of	specified  file systems. This standalone kernel is known as a miniroot and contains the requirements for a minimal
       operating system.

       In the event of a crash recovery, the system administrator can boot and restore file systems from the bootable system image  by	using  the
       btextract(8) utility.

       During the creation of the bootable system image, you are prompted for the kernel name, the tape device, and the type of miniroot file sys-
       tem, that is, a memory file system or disk partition to be used for the bootable tape image.

       You are also prompted for the pathname of the Miniroot Append file, which lets you specify which additional files or directories should	be
       included in the miniroot. The size of the Miniroot Append file should not exceed 360KB.	You are also prompted for the pathname of the File
       System Backup File which defines which file systems are backed up to tape. Each line of this file specifies one file system by  its  device
       name, mount point, and type of file system.  The bttape(8) utility provides for the creation and modification of these files.

       The bttape command has two user interface options: Graphical user interface (GUI) Command line interface (CUI)

NAME

       sysman_intro - Introduction of SysMan applications

DESCRIPTION

       SysMan  is  a  suite of applications for managing Tru64 UNIX systems. The SysMan applications provide a simple, easy to use, graphical user
       interface (GUI) for common system management tasks including installation and configuration.

       When you follow the installation instructions in the Installation Guide, the installation GUI, Installation Setup, is  displayed  automati-
       cally.

       To  help  you prepare the system for general use, the Tru64 UNIX: System Setup checklist is displayed when you log in as root for the first
       time after performing an installation.

       SysMan applications and help are available from the Application Manager (tool drawer) icon on the CDE  front  panel,  or  from  the  SysMan
       Applications panel above the SysMan Station icon on the root CDE window.

       For  additional	information, see the Welcome to SysMan help volume by performing the following procedure: Click on the Application Manager
       icon (the file drawer) on the CDE front panel.  Double click on the System_Admin application group icon.  Double click on  the  Welcome	to
       SysMan icon.

       If  you	are  not  running CDE, but have installed it, you can open the Welcome to Sysman help volume by entering the following sequence of
       commands at the command line: /bin/sh PATH=$PATH:/usr/dt/bin export PATH DTHELPSEARCHPATH=/usr/dt/appconfig/help/C/%H export  DTHELPSEARCH-
       PATH DTUSERSESSION=${USER}-`uname -n`-0 export DTUSERSESSION dthelpgen -dir $HOME/.dt/help/$DTUSERSESSION dthelpview -helpVolume browser
