When the system recovery includes objects saved from auxiliary storage pools devices, the following additional steps will be added to the System Recovery Report to aid you in recovering your system. These steps will appear after Step: Perform IPL because System i Navigator is used to re-configure the auxiliary storage pool devices. These steps do not appear if you are recovering by ASP, the assumption is that the ASP you are recovering is already configured.
The steps described in this topic provide the guidance to configure the auxiliary storage pool devices during system recovery. The following step makes sure you have the appropriate service table entry for configuring the auxiliary storage pool devices using System i Navigator.
****************************************************************************************************
__ STEP 022 : Verify Service Table Entry
Start date/time __________________ Stop date/time __________________ Duration _________________
The recovery includes objects saved from auxiliary storage pool
devices. A service table entry is required to configure auxiliary
storage pool devices.
Verify entry as-sts exists in the list of service table entries.
To do so, type the following command then press "Enter".
WRKSRVTBLE
If entry as-sts does not exist, add the entry by typing 1 for Opt,
as-sts for Service. Press "Enter", then press F10.
Enter the following values for the parameters of the Add Service Table
Entry (ADDSRVTBLE) command.
Parameter: Value
Service: 'as-sts'
Port: 3000
Protocol: 'tcp'
Text: 'Service Tools Server'
Alias: 'AS-STS'
Press "Enter" to create the service table entry.
****************************************************************************************************
The following step appears in the report to provide additional guidance for starting up the New Disk Pool Wizard in System i Navigator which you will use to configure the auxiliary storage pool devices.
****************************************************************************************************
__ STEP 024 : Configure Auxiliary Storage Pool Devices
Start date/time __________________ Stop date/time __________________ Duration _________________
The recovery includes objects saved from auxiliary storage pool
devices. The auxiliary storage pool devices must be re-configured
before recovery can continue.
Use the "Display ASP Information" report (QP1AASP) to review the
names of the auxiliary storage pool devices of the saved system.
--- Attention -------------------------------------------------------
If the auxiliary storage pool devices are intended to be used as
switched auxiliary storage pools in a clustered environment, review
the documentation provided with your cluster management product to
identify any pre-configuration steps that may be required prior to
configuring these auxiliary storage pool devices.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Re-configure the auxiliary storage pool devices using System i
Navigator as follows:
__ Open this system's folder in System i Navigator.
__ Open the Configuration and Service folder.
__ Open the Hardware folder.
__ Open the Disk Units folder.
__ Complete the Service Device signon.
__ Right-click the Disk Pools folder.
__ Click on New Disk Pools...
__ Follow the steps of the New Disk Pool Wizard.
****************************************************************************************************
The following step verifies the names of the configured auxiliary storage pool devices to the names of the saved auxiliary storage pool devices. When you configure the auxiliary storage pool devices using System i Navigator, these devices might or might not be assigned the same auxiliary storage pool number depending on the number of disk resources and the order in which they are configured. Because the auxiliary storage pool number might change, it is important to keep the name the same to allow for automated recovery.
If you are restoring objects to a different auxiliary storage pool device from which it was saved, you will need to change the default recovery options to specify the auxiliary storage pool where the objects are to be restored.
****************************************************************************************************
__ STEP 025 : Verify Auxiliary Storage Pool Device Names
Start date/time __________________ Stop date/time __________________ Duration _________________
Display the configured auxiliary storage pool device descriptions.
To do so, type the following command then press "Enter".
WRKDEVD DEVD(*ASP)
Verify the configured auxiliary storage pool device names match the
names of the auxiliary storage pool devices listed in report QP1AASP.
Use option 8=Work with status to verify the status of each auxiliary
storage pool device status is AVAILABLE.
Display, verify and update the BRMS auxiliary storage pool information
as required.
To do so, type the following command then press "Enter".
WRKASPBRM
****************************************************************************************************
BRMS saves the history information for auxiliary storage pool devices by the auxiliary storage pool device name. This device name is displayed adjacent to the saved item name as shown in the sample report below. The step shown below will be included in the report if there are libraries saved from auxiliary storage pool devices. You would also see a similar section for recovery of any directories and files that might have been saved from auxiliary storage pool devices.
When recovering libraries on auxiliary storage pool devices and recovering them to the same system and the same auxiliary storage pool device, you need to consider the following:
****************************************************************************************************
__ STEP 026 : Recover Additional User Libraries
Start date/time __________________ Stop date/time __________________ Duration _________________
You should restore the current version of additional user libraries
saved from auxiliary storage pool devices (33-255) or to TSM servers.
If you are performing a complete system restore, run the following
command to continue:
STRRCYBRM OPTION(*RESUME)
Otherwise, run one or more of the following commands to recover these
saved items.
Run the following command to recover additional libraries in the system
(1) or basic user (2-32) auxiliary storage pools saved to TSM servers :
STRRCYBRM OPTION(*ALLUSR) ACTION(*RESTORE) USEADSM(*YES)
Run the following command to recover additional libraries in auxiliary
storage pool devices saved from the current system:
STRRCYBRM OPTION(*ASPDEV) ACTION(*RESTORE)
ASPDEV((*LCL *ALL *LIB))
Specify parameter USEADSM(*YES) if these were saved to TSM servers.
Run the following command to recover additional libraries in auxiliary
storage pool devices saved from another system:
STRRCYBRM OPTION(*ASPDEV) ACTION(*RESTORE)
ASPDEV((system-name auxiliary-storage-pool-name *LIB)
(system-name auxiliary-storage-pool-name *LIB) ... )
Specify parameter USEADSM(*YES) if these were saved to TSM servers.
Type your command choice then press "Enter".
----- Attention ---------------------------------------------------
Any logical/physical file dependencies are now handled by BRMS. A
BRMS defined ID of Q1ARSTID will be used for the Defer ID (DFRID)
parameter on RSTLIB and RSTOBJ commands. This parameter allows you
to restore all objects in a set of libraries when the libraries with
dependent objects are restored before the libraries with the objects
they depend on.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
--- Attention -------------------------------------------------------
If you use journaling, the libraries containing the journals must be
restored before restoring the libraries containing the journaled files.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
--- Attention -------------------------------------------------------
If you are restoring libraries to an auxiliary storage pool device
with the same name but a different auxiliary storage pool number
the following libraries will automatically be renamed when restored:
QSYS2nnnnn
QRCLnnnnn
SYSIBnnnnn
where nnnnn is the number of the auxiliary storage pool device.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
--- Attention -------------------------------------------------------
The QSYS2nnnnn libraries must be restored before all other libraries.
To recover the QSYS2nnnnn libraries, do the following:
__ Press F9 to go to the Recovery Defaults Display.
__ Change the value of Allow object differences to *ALL.
__ Press "Enter" to return to the Select Recovery Items display.
__ Select and recovery the QSYS2nnnnn libraries.
__ Press F9 to go to the Recovery Defaults Display.
__ Change the value of Allow object differences to *NONE or *FILELVL.
__ Press "Enter" to return to the Select Recovery Items display.
__ Continue recovery of the remaining libraries.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Select the saved item(s) listed below from the "Select Recovery Items"
display then press "Enter" to recover these saved items. Recovery of
these saved items will require the volumes listed on the report or
duplicate volumes.
