You can restore backup sets in a storage area network (SAN) in the following ways:
- If the backup set is on a SAN-attached storage device, specify
the device using the filename parameter and use the location=tape option,
where applicable. Tivoli® Storage Manager restores
the backup set directly from the SAN-attached storage device, gaining
high-speed restore performance.
Note: You must ensure
that the correct tape is mounted in the SAN-attached tape drive prior
to issuing the restore command. The backup-archive
client will not initiate a SCSI autochanger to mount the tape automatically. - If the backup set is not on local media or a SAN-attached storage device, you can specify the backup set using the backupsetname option. Use the location=server option to restore the backup set directly from the server using the LAN.
