Re: Log backup on /dev/null

Hi Jean, As per your mail, your parameter value for LTAPEDEV is /dev/null, you cannot take a restore from /dev/null, no backup is done if you use this value for the LTAPEDEV, unless and otherwise you have a tape backup you cannot recover your logical logs after you have done a "oninit -iy". A backup tape is must if you want to recover the logical logs, after the reconfiguration using "oninit -iy" this means that if you want to have logical log backups now onwards(the old logical logs are lost already you cannot recover it!). please change your LTAPEDEV = /dev/rmt02 (rmt02 is only an example actually it is your tapedevice name) and start taking logical log backups on a tape, whenever a reconfiguration is done please recover it from logical log backup tapes using "ontape -r". Hope this answer will help you, Krishna Prasad Infodata
