Recovering information in a user auxiliary storage pool

When you have user auxiliary storage pools (ASPs) on your system, you assign specific libraries or objects to certain physical disk devices. One reason for having user ASPs is to limit the amount of information you need to recover if a disk device must be replaced.

The basic process for recovering a user ASP is:

  1. Understand what was in the user ASP.
  2. Choose the correct recovery procedure.
  3. Plan your recovery.
  4. Perform the recovery steps.
