I am being told I need to save those...and we have nearly 100,000. Any suggestions? We DO NOT use or even have installed the BRMS licensed program IBM provides. -----Original Message----- From: Bill [mailto:billzbubb@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2003 6:05 PM To: Midrange Systems Technical Discussion Subject: Re: Restore from SAVSYS (Option 21) Jim, I just went through this a couple of weeks ago. It isn't painless, but it can be pretty smooth. It would have been painless if we hadn't experienced big problems with the machine not wanting to alternate IPL from the cdrom drive. After all was said and done, we took a 6 hour hit because the drives had to be formatted. It was a very good thing we did this on a 3 day weekend. The manual you want to go through is the Backup and Recovery Guide. Take a look at the "Recovering your entire system after a complete system loss - Checklist 20", "Verifying and Selecting an Alternate Installation Device during a Manual Installation (only necessary if you aren't postively sure your 8mm is not an Alternate IPL Device)", "Appendix D. Recovering your server". Are you aware you will lose your spool files, jobq entries, and data queue entries unless you address these in advance?
