Generating a Recovery Analysis Report after a Failure

If you can locate the tape containing the most up-to-date QUSRBRM data files, you can use this tape to generate a Recovering Your Entire System/Recovery Analysis report. BRMS saves the QUSRBRM recovery at the end of every save operation.

After you obtain the most up-to-date QUSRBRM tape, take the following steps to begin the restoration process:

  1. Restore the Licensed Internal Code, operating system, and the required BRMS libraries from your backup tapes. The BRMS libraries you need include QBRM, QUSRBRM, QMSE, and, if applicable, information from save files.
  2. Run the RSTOBJ(*ALL) SAVLIB(QUSRBRM) MBROPT(*ALL) command with the most up-to-date tapes you can find. Or you can run this command from save files that contain the QUSRBRM recovery files. This is the last QUSRBRM library on the tape. It should contain 14 files.
  3. Run the STRRCYBRM command to generate an up-to-date Recovery Analysis report.
  4. Run the WRKMEDBRM TYPE(*ACT) OUTPUT(*PRINT) command to generate a list of active media and their current status and location.
  5. Use these reports to restore your system. You can only use the tapes that are listed on the reports to restore the licensed internal code, operating system data, and the BRMS libraries. If you used different tapes, then you need to restore these items again, this time with the tapes BRMS identifies.
