Checklist 26: Using options 22 and 23 from the restore menu
This checklist shows the sequence of steps you should use to recover user information using option 22 and 23 from the restore menu. Option 22 restores your IBM-supplied libraries to your last save. Option 23 restores your user libraries to your last save.
Before you begin recovering user information, make a copy of this checklist. Complete the appropriate areas as you perform the recovery steps. This checklist provides an important record of your recovery actions. It can help you diagnose any problems that occur after the recovery. It might also be useful in evaluating your backup strategy.
Most steps in the checklist include references to other topics in this document. Refer to these topics if you need more information about how to perform a particular step. You might not need to perform some steps, such as restoring changed objects and applying journal changes, if they do not apply in your situation.
| Task | What to do | Where to read more about it |
|---|---|---|
| ___ Task 1 | If necessary, change the QALWOBJRST system value back to its original value by using the WRKSYSVAL command. Write the old value here: __________ | Controlling restoration of security-sensitive objects. |
| ___ Task 2 | If necessary, change the QVFYOBJRST system value back to its original value by using the WRKSYSVAL command. Write the old value here: __________ | Controlling restoration of security-sensitive objects. |
| ___ Task 3 | If necessary, change the system value that controls whether the job log wraps when it is full. Use the Work with System Values command: WRKSYSVAL QJOBMSGQFL. Write down the current value here: __________. Then change the value to *PRTWRAP. | The System values topic in the IBM® i Information Center. |
| ___ Task 4 | After changing the system values, sign off by using the command SIGNOFF *LIST. Then, using a newly created password, sign back on as QSECOFR for the new values to take effect. | |
| ___ Task 5 | If restoring to a system with a different processor or memory, ensure the QMCHPOOL, QBASPOOL, and QPFRADJ system values are correct by using the WRKSYSVAL command. | Setting the QPFRADJ system value for a different processor or memory. |
| ___ Task 6 | Perform option 22
from the Restore menu to restore IBM-supplied libraries and directories.
Use your most recent tapes from performing either option 21 or option
22 on the Save menu. If you are recovering using Checklist 20: Recovering your entire system after a complete system loss and restoring to a different system,
use the Restore to different systemoption on the Specify Command Defaults display. You should also use this option if you restoring to a different logical partition. This option will automatically specify ALWOBJDIF(*ALL) or ALWOBJDIF(*COMPATIBLE) on the restore commands and SRM(*NONE) on the RSTCFG command.1 |
Using restore menu options 21, 22, and 23. |
| ___ Task 7 | Perform option 23 from the Restore menu to restore user libraries and user directories. Use your most recent tapes from performing either option 21 or option 23 on the Save menu. If you are recovering using Checklist 20: Recovering your entire system after a complete system loss and restoring to a different system, use the "Restore to different system" option on the Specify Command Defaults display. You should also use this option if you restoring to a different logical partition. This option will automatically specify ALWOBJDIF(*ALL) or ALWOBJDIF(*COMPATIBLE) on the restore commands and SRM(*NONE) on the RSTCFG command.1 | Using restore menu options 21, 22, and 23. |
| ___ Task 8 | If you use an integrated server and saved the network server description (NWSD) and related server objects, complete the recovery for the integrated server. |
Recovery for save operation of network server storage spaces. |
| ___ Task 9 | If you run Linux or AIX® and saved by varying off the network server descriptions, complete the recovery for Linux or AIX. |
Recovering AIX, IBM i, or Linux in a logical partition |
| ___ Task 10 | If you have user-defined file systems (UDFSs) in user auxiliary storage pools (ASPs) that do not restore correctly, you might need to perform additional recovery steps. | Task 7: Restoring user-defined file systems to the user auxiliary storage pool. |
| ___ Task 11 | Update program temporary fix (PTF) information for all PTF save files in library QGPL by typing: UPDPTFINF. | |
| ___ Task 12 | If the Save System Information (SAVSYSINF) has been used, then run the Restore System Information (RSTSYSINF) command. The Restore System Information (RSTSYSINF) command restores a subset of the system data and objects saved by the Save System Information (SAVSYSINF) command. | Restoring system information |
| ___ Task 13 | Reapply any PTFs that were applied since your last SAVSYS operation. | Restoring program temporary fixes (PTFs). |
| ___ Task 14 | If necessary, change the QALWOBJRST system value. | Controlling restoration of security-sensitive objects. |
| ___ Task 15 | If necessary, change the QVFYOBJRST system value. | Controlling restoration of security-sensitive objects. |
| ___ Task 16 | If necessary, change the QJOBMSGQFL system value back to its original value by using the WRKSYSVAL command. | System values |
| ___ Task 17 | Perform either a: or
a
Check the job log to ensure all objects were restored. The job log contains information about the restore operation. To verify that all objects were restored, spool the job log for printing along with the job's remaining spooled output, if any. Message CPC3703 is sent to the job log for each library that was successfully restored. Message CPF3773 is sent to tell you how many objects were restored. Objects are not restored for various reasons. Check for any error messages, correct the errors, and then restore those objects from the media. |
|
| ___ Task 18 | You must perform a normal initial program load (IPL) at this time. | Performing a normal initial program load. |
| ___ Task 19 | If you use an integrated server and saved individual files in the QNTC directory, complete recovery for the integrated server. |
Recovery for save operation of data in QNTC file system. |
| ___ Task 20 | If IBM DB2® Content Manager OnDemand for
i is
installed, complete journaling for Content Manager OnDemand by typing
the following commands: |
|
| ___ Task 21 | If you have the Cryptographic
Device Manager licensed program, 5733-CY2 or 5733-CY3, installed,
run this command: |
|
| ___ Task 22 | Review job logs or output from your restore operations to ensure that all objects were restored successfully. | Verifying whether objects are restored successfully. |
