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 C.55.05 B5152AA
(C) 1986 HEWLETT-PACKARD CO.

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 filenames, you receive a tape
request for each unique filename. 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 filename, you receive several
identical tape requests referring to the common filename, 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 MEDIA FOR STORE ON LDEV 8
15:29/#S415/59/LDEV #8 NOT READY
|
To mount another tape, perform the following steps:
Unload the first tape following the instructions in Chapter 3,
"Preparing Storage Devices."
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.
Continue monitoring the RESTORE process. Mount new tapes as the
system requests them.
Using the PROGRESS Option |
|
If you specified the PROGRESS option of RESTORE, you can monitor
the progress of your recovery by looking at the progress messages
issued by RESTORE. If RESTORE is being run from a session, then
the progress messages will be issued on $STDLIST. If RESTORE
is being run from a job, then the progress messages will be
displayed on the system console.
