Now you've got CSL reason codes and can ask help for them, like this: HELP ROUTINES dmsrddbk (ERRORS and look for 54000 if still not found: HELP ROUTINES REASCODE Some of these PIPE messages sound really alarming. Did you do something special with this SFS server? I didn't have any corrupted

SFS Restore?

2008-12-23 Thread Phillip Parmelee
I've never worked with SFS before. The SFS was designed and put into 24x7 production use circa 1996. There are few trails to follow. Presently there is a daily backup of the system plus weekly DDR's of the volumes. Due to production I cannot shutdown for much more time than the backup takes. I

You said your weekly backups are done with DDR, you didn't mention what method you use for your daily backups. If you only have DDR backups, then there is no easy way to get one (or any) individual file(s) restored ... you have to restore the DDR for *all* minidisks that make up the FilePool.

The daily backup is created from the SFS system via backup. Which since it has no parameters associated with it, I am assuming that everything is backed up. Phil Imler, Steven J steven.im...@ca.com Sent by: The IBM z/VM Operating System IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU 12/23/2008 08:36 AM

You'd need to restore the DDR backup to a new filepool user (with exactly the same minidisk configuration, for example userid NEWSFS). After the restore, link to the restored NEWSFS 191 and - RENAME oldSFS DMSPARMS fm NEWSFS = = - change the filepool ID in NEWSFS DMSPARMS to e.g. TEMPSFS - RENAME

If your daily SFS backups were created by the FILEPOOL BACKUP command you could use FILEPOOL FILELOAD to restore individual files. If the daily SFS backup was created by FILEPOOL UNLOAD, you can use FILEPOOL RELOAD to restore individual files. From: The IBM z/VM Operating System

Unless you have a product or process that does file level backups (look in the list of file pool administrators for clues) you are going to be in trouble. Physical backups of a running SFS server are generally not of much use. From: The IBM z/VM Operating

Re: SFS Restore?

2008-12-23 Thread Kris Buelens
Your assumption may be faint. You issue BACKUP on the SFS server's console (or CP SEND VMSERVx BACKAUP, what is the same) do you?. If this is the case, you only have a backup of the SFS control data (that is, who is enrolled, which GRANTs are given, etc), but **not** of the data residing in these

Your best bet at restoration is to do as Kris suggests. I would not, under any circumstances, restore directly to the corrupted file pool from the DDR backup unless it was taken while the file pool was down and before the corruption occurred. Even then, you would back level all files and catalog

VDISK

2008-12-23 Thread Schuh, Richard
In looking at the VDISK Storage by User display (ESALPS) I noticed that SYSTEM was the 10th largest user of VDISK during one interval, but fell to 0 the next. What causes SYSTEM to show up as a user of VDISK? Perhaps something in the DEFINE or DETACH processes? Regards, Richard Schuh

SYSTEM as displayed by ESALPS components is not system as in SYSTEM VMDBLK. System is really system totals. Which screen exactly are you looking at? (There isn't a vdisk storage by user display). The ESAASPC shows all the address spaces including VDISK, and shows 'SYSTEM'. The ESAVDSK just
