RESTART EXPORT (Restart a suspended export operation)

Use this command to restart a suspended export operation.

An export operation is suspended when any of the following conditions is detected:
  • A SUSPEND EXPORT command is issued for the running export operation
  • Segment preemption - the file being read for export is deleted by some other process
  • Communication errors on a server-to-server export
  • No available mount points
  • Necessary volumes are unavailable
  • I/O errors encountered
Important: Nodes or file spaces (on the exporting server) in the original export operation that are subsequently renamed are not included in the resumed operation. Any remaining data for nodes or file spaces on the target server that are deleted prior to resumption are discarded.

Privilege class
