just run into the same. :-(((
First:
You need a HMC Backup created via "Backup Critical Console Data" from before your Changes. (Important!)
You need the HMC Recovery Images (download them at Fix Central) which fits the made Backup.
If you have both you are a lucky guy!
If not, it would be better to contact IBM Support.
Just to be optimistic - you'll have the above requirements, then (and only then):
-
Boot with the first DVD Recovery Media
-
Select "Install HMC" from menue
-
after install of the 1. DVD HMC ask for install additional Software which resides on second DVD
-
after that, HMC ask for: 1. recovery of Critical Console Data, 2. Restore from Save upgrade Data or 3. exit
- if you have your Critical Console Data on DVD - enter 1
- insert media
- reboot
- finish
- if your HMC Backup resides on remote server - enter 3 to exit installation
- boot HMC
- give HMC via menue new IP/DNS/GATEWAY Information
- restore HMC Data via GUI from remote Server
- reboot
- finish
Maybe you have to apply additional Fixes, Patches (take a deep look at Fix Central!)
HTH,
Cheers,
ku
