RECOVER DISKFILE Command
mm
is the minute of the hour, entered as a 2-digit number in the range of 0
through 59. The default is 00.
ss
is the second of the minute, entered as a 2-digit number in the range of 0
through 59. The default is 00.
LOCALTOREMOTE
Specifying LOCALTOREMOTE causes the RESTORE to be invoked using local file
names rather than fully qualified file names. With this parameter, the RESTORE is
invoked in one of three ways:

LOCALTOREMOTE is not specified. This is the original behavior of the
RECOVER DISKFILE command. All file names that are sent to RESTORE will
be fully qualified. If the files originated on a node other than the node on which
the RESTORE is started, file system error 11 is generated from RESTORE. If
the node name is the same, the files are successfully restored.

LOCALTOREMOTE is specified with no node name. In this case, RECOVER
DISKFILE assumes that all the disk files are from the same node, and removes
the node name from all file names that are sent to RESTORE. If files from
multiple nodes are encountered, DSM/TC error 5196 is generated, indicating
that a node name must be specified.

LOCALTOREMOTE \node is specified. In this case, \node is the node name
that will be removed from the file names before the file names are sent to the
RESTORE process. If files from multiple nodes are encountered, all node
names that are not exactly the same as \node are left as part of the file name.
You cannot use LOCALTOREMOTE with OSS or SQL/MX objects.

How RECOVER DISKFILE works
RECOVER DISKFILE searches through the file catalogs you name with the
FILECAT option to find the tape file entry associated with the latest generation of
the disk file name. When it finds the tape file entry, it displays information from it,
followed by this message if OVERRIDE OFF is used:
Do you want RESTORE to be started? (y/n)
You must approve of the file entry by entering Y or N.

If you enter Y, RECOVER DISKFILE creates and issues a DEFINE to provide
RESTORE with essential information about the input tape, such as the disk file
name or names to copy and which tapes from the backup tape set to mount.
Then RECOVER DISKFILE constructs a RESTORE run command and
executes it to copy the disk file or files to disk.
