If You Do Not Have the ISM Server Bootstrap Printout

If you do not have the most recent ISM server bootstrap printout, you must locate the storage volume that contains the most recent bootstrap save set before you can recover the ISM catalog.

To recover the ISM catalog

Mount the storage volume that contains the most recent backup from the ISMData volume pool.
This volume contains the most recent ISM server bootstrap save set.

If you do not know which volume contains the most recent backup from the ISMData volume pool, you must scan each volume for the most recent bootstrap save set. At the command line, enter the following command with the full pathname of the storage device on which you loaded the storage volume:
```
ism_catalog -find_bootstrap device
```
ISM displays the ssid numbers for all bootstrap save sets on the volume. You can use bootstraps to restore the ISM catalog only from volumes of type Backup. You cannot use bootstraps from volumes of type Backup Clone in the restore process.
After you locate the volume with the most recent bootstrap save set, issue the following command:
```
ism_catalog -recover
```
ISM re-creates the ISM catalog for this ISM server.
After you re-create the ISM catalog, use ON–Bar to restore your data.

Important:

You cannot perform disaster recovery from a cloned bootstrap save set.
