  • Restore using BRMS

    Hi,

    Sorry if I sound be a beginner,but I would appreciate if anyone can help me with the following restore process thru BRMS.

    I have a tape of vol id EA0284 thru which I have to do the restore remotely.The operator will put this tape in the tape library .Can anyone please
    help me with my following questions so that I can complete the restore ?

    1.To check what tapes are in tape library ,I do 'Work with Media Library Media',and the follwoing tapes are currently shown:

    Media library . . . . . . : TAPMLB03
    Position to . . . . . . . . Starting characters

    Type options, press Enter.
    1=Add MLB media 2=Work with media 5=Initialize
    6=Change category 7=Eject 8=Mount 9=Demount Media ?BRM Information?
    Opt Volume Type Category Media Class Expired Status

    EA0266 *SHARE400 ULTRIUM3 *YES Available
    EA0277 *SHARE400 ULTRIUM3 *YES Available
    EA0278 *SHARE400 ULTRIUM3 *YES Available
    EA0279 *SHARE400 ULTRIUM3 *YES Available
    EA0281 *SHARE400 ULTRIUM3 *YES Available
    EA0283 *SHARE400 ULTRIUM3 *YES Available

    Now ,if the restore was to be done from tape in question (with volume id EA0284) and operator had loaded it to the tape library,will the status show as INSERTED instead of AVAILABLE in the above screen?

    2.To start the restore from tape EA0284,I vary on TAPMLB03 as shown below(thru WRKMLBSTS):

    Device/ Job
    Opt Resource Status Allocation name
    TAPMLB03 VARIED ON
    TAP03 OPERATIONAL UNPROTECTED

    3.Finally for the restore I run the following command:

    ===>

    RSTOBJ OBJ(*ALL) SAVLIB(DBSLIB) DEV(TAPMLB03) VOL(EA0284) SEQNBR(1698) MBROPT(*ALL) ALWOBJDIF(*ALL)
    RSTLIB(DBSLIBXX) OUTPUT(*PRINT)

    Will Coding TAPMLB03 and EA0284 in restore command ensure that the tape is automatically picked up from ?Work with media library Media?screen in step1 ? Or do I have to use any option like option 8(Mount) specifically to Mount the tape EA0284 to the tape drive TAP03 ?

    Kindly guide me thru .Many thanks for your help

    Hi snehaverma001,
    The very first question, Do you have robotic Media library with Barcode reader in it?
    If Yes, can continue below
    1. INSERTED means that the tape haven't been introduce to the host, do an ADD to Library for EA0284. then share change the category to make it SHARE400 (CHGTAPCGY)
    2. Yes Correct
    3. Yes, No need to mount if the answer to the very first question is Yes,
