Recovering Multiple Control Groups with Concurrent Support

To perform a concurrent recovery, you need to run multiple jobs by using the STRRCYBRM command. Each command specifies the one or more items you want BRMS to recover. You must try to evenly balance the contents of the jobs so that they complete at about the same time. If you are using a media library with multiple drives, then BRMS will send the jobs there, as long as you specify that device in the recovery policy.

To process a concurrent restore with two or more stand-alone devices, you need to change the device name from the STRRCYBRM display before you can process the command. To make this change, take the following steps:

1. Set up the parameters on the STRRCYBRM command as needed. Then press Enter to prompt the Select Recovery Items display.

                               Select Recovery Items                    RCHAS400

    Type options, press Enter.

2. From this display, press F9 (Recovery defaults) to change the device information. This takes you to the Restore Command Defaults display.

3. To concurrently process multiple jobs on different stand-alone devices, you need to type the names of each of the devices you want to use in the Device fields. If a stand-alone you specify is unavailable, the job fails because there is no queuing on stand-alone devices.
4. Press Enter twice to process the command.
