Specifications

Reading back data of a recording being recorded in infinite mode may end up in reading back
data which will be (very) soon overwritten by the MDR.
copy-recording Host Disks <FileName> [<RecordingName>]
Copy data from host workstation file(s) (specified by
<FileName>) to the MDR
disk subsystem (recording specified by
<RecordingName>). The
<RecordingName> parameter must be the name (or number in the recording table)
of an existing recording.
If the recording data is split into several files then the MDR software will try to
copy as much data as possible. For instance on the
x86-win32 platform, if the
recording size is 5 GiB and 5 files (named from
Recording1.MDR.0 to
Recording1.MDR.4) are present on the host computer then the user can copy the
5GiB of data using the following command:
copy host disks Recording1.MDR.0 <RecordingName>
If the recording size is lower than the file size then only the recording size will be
read from the file and copy to the recording. If greater, then the recording is
truncated and the size is changed to the file size.
copy-recording Disks Tape [<RecordingName>] [<FirstRecordingBlock>-
<LastRecordingBlock>]
Copy data from the MDR disk subsystem (recording specified by
<RecordingName>) to SCSI tapes (one or several tapes according to the recording
length and the internal drive compression rate).
<FirstRecordingBlock> and <LastRecordingBlock> specify the range of user
blocks to copy (first and last user blocks included). If this range is not specified
then the entire recording data is copied.
copy-recording Tape Disks [<RecordingName>]
Copy data from SCSI tapes (1 or several tapes according to the recording length)
to the MDR disk subsystem (recording specified by
<RecordingName>).
Examples: copy-recording disks host ./data/today. Recording_1
copy-recording host disks ./today.Recording_1.mdr250.0 1
create-disk-group
Syntax:
create-disk-group <DiskGroupName> <DiskIdList>
Description: Create a disk group.
The name of the disk group is specified by the argument
<DiskGroupName>.
The disks to be included into the disk group are specified using a list (using commas ‘,’
or dashes ‘-‘) containing their number (or identifier). The identifier of a disk can be
retrieved using the
list-fc-devices command: it corresponds to the number written in
the first column.
Examples:
create-disk-group MyDiskgroup 1,2-4-7
Create-disk-group MyDiskgroup 4-8
