Troubleshooting
Problem
It is possible to restore a system from a save done using BRMS without using BRMS for the restore. However, when doing this, there are some precautions users must be aware of.
Resolving The Problem
1. At V7R1 and below it is possible to restore a system from a save done using BRMS without using BRMS for the restore. However, when doing this, there are some precautions users must be aware of.
2. At V7R2 and above restoring a System without BRMS When the Save Was Done with BRMS the
RSTLIB portion is a little different. Please see document Missing QFILE on save tape created by BRMS for further details

It is suggested that QMSE, QUSRBRM, and QBRM libraries be restored after the License Internal Code and the operating system have being restored. This prevents errors from occurring when QUSRSYS library is restored. |
| o | BRMS does not do a *NONSYS save of the libraries: RSTLIB SAVLIB(*IBM) OMITLIB(QMSE QBRM) and RSTLIB SAVLIB(*ALLUSR). QUSRBRM is not saved in *ALLUSR; therefore, there is no need to omit it. |
| o | GO RESTORE Option 21 can not be used. |

Example of the commands to be used are as follows: Restore the License Internal Code and the operating system RSTLIB SAVLIB(QBRM QMSE QUSRBRM) RSTUSRPRF RSTCFG RSTLIB SAVLIB(QSYS2 QGPL QUSRSYS) RSTLIB SAVLIB(*IBM) OMITLIB(QMSE QBRM) RSTLIB SAVLIB(*ALLUSR) OMITLIB(QSYS2 QGPL QUSRSYS) RSTDLO RST DEV('/QSYS.LIB/media device name.DEVD') OBJ(('/*') ('/QSYS.LIB' *OMIT) ('/QDLS' *OMIT)) ENDOPT(*LEAVE) RSTAUT |

Example of the commands to be used are as follows:
Restore the License Internal Code and the operating system RSTLIB SAVLIB(QBRM QMSE QUSRBRM) RSTUSRPRF RSTCFG RSTLIB SAVLIB(QSYS2 QGPL QUSRSYS) RSTLIB SAVLIB(*ANY) OMITLIB(QMSE QBRM QUSRBRM QSYS2 QGPL QUSRSYS) RSTDLO RST DEV('QSYS.LIB/media device name.DEVD') OBJ(('/*') ('/QSYS.LIB' *OMIT) ('/QDLS' *OMIT)) ENDOPT(*LEAVE) RSTAUT Note: If there are plans to continue using BRMS for Backups after this restore, the last save media information of QUSRBRM needs to be restored before RSTAUT. This should be the last sequence number on tape for QUSRBRM.
Using that sequence number, run following command:
RSTOBJ OBJ(*ALL) SAVLIB(QUSRBRM) DEV(device-name) VOL(volume-identifier) SEQNBR(sequence-number) MBROPT(*ALL) ALWOBJDIF(*COMPATIBLE)
