Translating with DrWatson… this can take a few seconds the first time.
This is a genuine, complex translation. DrWatson protects commands, error codes, and log output while naturally translating the surrounding text. It’s translated once and saved.

Hi,
I was trying as an experiment to restore a single non-critical
dbspace with online 7.22.uc3 and aix 4.2.1. This was a test
database using ontape with logical logs set to /dev/null. I did
an ontape -s -L 0 level 0 backup to tape. Then I tried a restore
of one dbspace with ontape -r -D the_dbspace (if I remember the
syntax correctly). After it restored the dbspace it asked if I
wanted to restore the logs and I said no. It finished and left
the chunk and dbspace in 'partial' status. When I restarted the
server the dbspace went to down status. Now it won't even let me
drop the dbspace or the database located in it. I get an error
311 and it says the primary and mirror chunk are bad (there was
no mirroring).
I tried doing the restore again and answered yes to the logical
logs restore but it failed again. I guess there are two
questions... 1) is there any way to get rid of the bad
chunk/dbspace? 2) what is the correct procedure and configuration
to be able to restore a single dbspace using ontape? (the manual
seems to say you can do this.)
(By the way, I am not able to try using onbar because we don't
have a storage manager.)
Thankyou for any suggestions,
