Power Failure
User logging automatically recovers from power failures occurring on the
I/O device where the logfile resides. If User Logging detects that a
power failure has occurred, it will automatically read the logfile until
the last good record is read. It will then rewrite the data, from its
buffer, starting at that block.
The Operator may be prompted to reset the tape drive and place it back
online. If the power failure occurs at the beginning of the current
tape, the Operator will be requested to mount the previous tape and then
remount the current tape. The system console will display messages that
the User Logging Power Failure Recovery has completed.
