Monitoring RESTORE Command Progress
After entering a RESTORE command, you see the following message at the
console telling you that the RESTORE process has begun:
TURBO-STORE/RESTORE VERSION A.20.01 (C) 1986 HEWLETT-PACKARD CO.
WED, MAR 30, 1988, 10:59 AM
Responding to Tape Requests
If your system is not configured to automatically assign devices, you see
a tape request. For example:
?9:08/#S25/43/LDEV# FOR "T" ON TAPE (NUM)?
If you have previously issued a FILE command that included the tape
device's LDEV number, the tape request asks you to confirm that number.
For example:
?14:57/#S25/43/IS "T" ON LDEV #8 (Y/N)?
See Chapter 7, "Handling Media Requests," for information on how to
respond to tape requests.
Replying to Tape Requests for a Multiple-Device RESTORE
If you are restoring files from several devices, the system sends you a
tape request for each device. The order that you receive tape requests
corresponds to the order that you listed the devices in your RESTORE
command.
If you gave your tape devices unique file names, you receive a tape
request for each unique file name. See Figure 3-1 , "Multiple Device
Planning Chart," in Chapter 3, "Preparing Storage Devices," to determine
which LDEV to assign to each name.
If you gave your tape devices a common file name, you receive several
identical tape requests referring to the common file name, one for each
device. For example, the first tape request in a sequential RESTORE asks
for the LDEV number of the first device. The second request asks for the
LDEV number of the second device, and so on.
Mounting Additional Tapes
If you are restoring a large set of files, the set may extend on to
several tapes. If you have more than one tape to mount on a tape device,
RESTORE immediately prompts you to mount the next tape after it finishes
restoring files from the previous tape. You see messages similar to the
ones below:
15:28/#S415/59/MOUNT NEXT REEL FOR STORE ON LDEV 8
15:29/#S415/59/LDEV #8 NOT READY
To mount another tape, perform the following steps:
1. Unload the first tape following the instructions in Chapter 3,
"Preparing Storage Devices."
2. Locate the second tape, prepare it, and mount it. You do not have
to issue another RESTORE command to respond to a tape request.
The system automatically continues restoring files. If you leave
the console while restoring files, other messages can cause mount
requests to scroll off of the console screen. Use the RECALL
command to redisplay mount requests.
3. Continue monitoring the RESTORE process. Mount new tapes as the
system requests them.
