Re: onlog and onbar
Posted in 2008
Hello Superboer
yes I tried onbar -P -n <logid> and onbar -P <logid> with environment
variable BAR_LOGCHECK=1. It results in the help message of onbar. Doesn't
seem to work with IDS 9.40FC9W2.
The Administrator Reference says:
If you use ON-Bar to back up the logical logs, onlog asks the storage
manager to retrieve the appropriate logical-log records from the backup
media.
As pointed out below it does not work. So I assume it's a bug.
Reinhard.
