RE: ontape -r and CKPT REQ
You can't and shouldn't do anything.
Just monitor with 'onstat' or 'vmstat' how the
restore process is going and wait, until online
status changes to 'quiescent' from 'recovery'
If 'vmstat' shows some CPU/disk activity during restore,
and onstat (-D, -p, etc) shows increments in IDS activity parameters,
everything is OK
