Restoring a Storage Space with BRMS

You can use either the Work with Link Information (WRKLNKBRM) or the Work with Media Information in BRM (WRKMEDIBRM) command to restore integrated file system storage space. Before beginning the restore operation, vary off your Integrated PC server. This example uses the WRKLNKBRM command to restore two storage spaces, DRIVEK and DRIVEL, from the /QFPNWSSTG directory. To restore the storage space by using the WRKLNKBRM display, take the following steps:

1. Type WRKLNKBRM at a command line and press Enter.
   Note:

   In V5R3M0, the path name order will begin with the uppercase path names and be followed then by the lowercase path names.
2. Type a 9 (Work with directory information) in front of the directory you want to work with and press Enter. This takes you to the Work with objects display.
3. Type a 7 (Restore) in front of the objects you want to restore and press Enter.

4. Select the items you want to recover from the Select Recovery Items display and press Enter.
5. Confirm the items you want to recover at the Confirm Recovery Items display.
6. Type a 9 (Work with objects) in front of the items you want to restore and press Enter. The recovery process begins.
7. After the restore completes, you can vary on the Integrated PC server. This can take several minutes. Once you activate the Integrated Windows server, you should also try out a few options from the Network Server Administration (NWSADM) menu to ensure that everything is working correctly.
8. To verify that BRMS successfully completed the restore, use the Work with Network Server Storage Spaces (WRKNWSSTG) command.
9. Link the storage names with the appropriate drive letters by using the Add Server Storage Link (ADDNWSSTGL) command. You can also use option 10 from the Work with Network Storage Space (WRKNWSSTG) display to perform the same task.
