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 C.55.05 B5152AA
(C) 1986 HEWLETT-PACKARD CO.
WED, JUN 26, 1996, 5:07 PM
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., 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:
1. Unload the first tape following the instructions in Chapter 3, "Preparing Storage
