we've got ADSM 3.1 on an AIX 4.3.3 machine, with a 3575 tape library. we had a major hardware failure, and i'm restoring the last filesystem right now. i'm trying to retore a filesystem on an aix system, let's say its called /home/dude. its a 20GB filesystem. 7GB has already been restored a few days ago, but the session died because of a missing tape which we do not have anymore (data not available to server) (don't ask why we dont have the tape anymore). but now i must restore the rest of that filesystem. there was a restartable session for this restore, which i canceled yesterday.
since the restartable seesion is canceled. im just trying to restart a brand new restore for that filesystem. i go to the aix client, type dsm, then choose to restore /home/dude, then it starts working, and at some point it asks me if i want to overwrite, i say NO, then it hangs. its been sitting there for 90 minutes??!?!?: 1,380 Tcp/Ip RecvW 1.5 H 826.4 K 5.2 K Node AIX HERA.ITG.UIUC.EDU also, when i do a q rest i get this: Sess Restore Elapsed Node Name Filespace Number State Minutes Name ------ ----------- ------- --------------------- ----------- -1 Restartable 88 HERA.ITG.UIUC.EDU /home/mac/dude but the sessions should show up as ACTIVE, not Restartable. so how do i finish restoring this filesystem? i looked in the administrator guide, page 204, and it does NOT say how to start a restartable session. it only says how to cancel it. any ideas? should i just start over? i hate to do that if im just gonna have to wait another 90 minutes for it to start restoring. thanks in advance, alex --- --- Alex Lazarevich | Systems | Imaging Technology Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (217)244-1565 | www.itg.uiuc.edu --- ---
