Hi Howard. Use the “( LEAVE” option as you did on the dump example. The default is to unload tape after the command completes. The first restore all will unload the tape so the other will try to run with and unloaded tape drive.

Hello all, I’m having a problem restoring minidisks which I backed up using DDR. Backing them up all on one tape. I batched up a bunch of minidisks, a quick sample is below: SYSPRINT CONS PROMPTS OFF INPUT 12C4 3390 OUTPUT 181 3590 (LEAVE DUMP ALL INPUT 1191 3390 OUTPUT 181 3590 (LEAVE DUMP ALL INPUT 12A2 3390 OUTPUT 181 3590 (LEAVE DUMP ALL All are going to the same tape. The first mini at 12C4 is empty. But, this didn’t create any error during the dump process and all the other DDR Dumps complete with problems. However during the restore: SYSPRINT CONS PROMPTS OFF INPUT 181 3590 OUTPUT 12C4 3390 RESTORE ALL INPUT 181 3590 OUTPUT 1191 3390 RESTORE ALL INPUT 181 3590 OUTPUT 12A2 3390 RESTORE ALL Just the first minidisk restores to 12C4, which by the way there isn’t any records. Then I get an endless stream of CCW errors on the 181 tape. The minidisks to be restored are all R/W as an example indicates below: DASD 111F 3390 VPDPS1 R/W 8 CYL ON DASD 04B8 SUBCHANNEL = 0039 DASD 1191 3390 VPDPS1 R/W 9 CYL ON DASD 04B8 SUBCHANNEL = 002C DASD 129D 3390 VPDPS1 R/W 9 CYL ON DASD 04B8 SUBCHANNEL = 0032 To get to the first minidisk I did a: CP LINK USERA 11F 111F MW Links are all O.K. no errors on any of the links. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks. _____________ LEGAL NOTICE Unless expressly stated otherwise, this message is confidential and may be privileged.
