But DB2 lacks control to direct backup to which virutal volumes, which cause backup are scattered in many virutal volumes. When restore,I encountred following messages: IEF690I FOLLOWING VOLUMES UNAVAILABLE TO REINCT10 DLINCT 282 IEF690I R73278 *885 IEF235D REINCT10 DLINCT WAITING FOR VOLUMES. TO CANCEL WAIT REPLY 'NO' *IEC501A M 08E0,R73278,SL,,REINCT10,DLINCT.SP00900,BTCHP2.L.A.BN.TSINCT.P00900.CA 120111.H05 IEF234E K 08E0,R73278,PVT,REINCT10,DLINCT IEF690I cause restoration slow down. How to efficiently restore db2 image copy? I appreciate your feedback.
