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.
Situation:
In order to install a testsystem a backup has been created of our
Informix database with ontape -s -L 0. The tape to which the data is
backuped has a potential of about 130 GB but the TAPESIZE was limited
to 80 GB.
Our total database however is about 180 GB and the backup, as result,
took 3 tapes. So far so good. Now we want to restore these tapes to
our test system.
I used ontape -r which seemed to work fine. With onstat -Dr I could
monitor the progress of the restore.
Problem:
The 80 GB of data of the first tape has been restored. The "onstat
-Dr" command showes no further action from the restore. However the
system doesn't ask for tape nr. 2. I don't know wether or not the
process is still active or sort of sleeping. The online.log last entry
is 20 hours ago. What to do? Should I just insert tape nr. 2 and hope
the process continues ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
