RE: Onbar -r

If you backup your data with the whole system backup option (-w), you should restore it with that option (onbar -r -w). Does your new server have the control files from the original server? * ixbar.? * oncfg.* * sqlhosts file * $ONCONFIG file These files are described in more detail in the Backup and Restore Guide. If so, it becomes a storage manager issue. What is your storage manager? I do not believe that ISM supports imported restores. Other storage managers do, but you may need to make it believe that you are restoring to the machine from which the backup was taken.

The onbar command issued was 'onbar -b -L 0 -w' . Informix Dynamic Server Version 7.30.UC3 is what is on the Solaris 2.5.1 system (Ultra 5). I am trying to restore the database to a different server, with everything set up the same, including the partitions for the raw slices. To restore to the new server I simply issue an 'onmode -ky' then 'onbar -r -p' followed by 'onbar -r -l' . This does not generate any errors, however when I try to view the recovered data there is nothing there. I am sure that the data is on the tape and the tape had been write protected. Any ideas?
