During catastrophic failures, you might lose the partition parameters that you entered while commissioning the partition image and you might not be able to reconstruct the partition environment.
Unisys recommends you to take a printout of worksheet, and manually fill the parameters before setting up the partition environment as part of your planning. As you commission a partition image, make notes or corrections on the worksheet. Store the hard copy in a safe place (and/or scan it and store it on a separate device) as part of a disaster recovery plan.
