Restoring User Files
9. Restore any other files backed up in Step 2.
10. Start the OSS Monitor. If necessary, use an OBEY file for the kernel subsystem 
SCF interface to restore its configuration in the persistence monitor and OBEY files 
or RESTORE to restore the configuration of the OSS environment.
11. Use RESTORE to restore the storage-pool files. The source and target system 
DEVICELABEL values must match.
12. Restore the remainder of the OSS environment as described in Restoring NonStop 
SQL/MP Programs Using Backup/Restore Utilities (T9074) on page 6-24 and 
Restoring Security Data Used For File Access on page 6-25.
13. Start all filesets.

To restore files using the pax utility, the fileset to be restored must first be configured 
and started using the OSS Monitor.
Restoring NonStop SQL/MP Programs Using 
Backup/Restore Utilities (T9074)
When an OSS fileset is lost, there are orphan entries in surviving SQL/MP 
PROGRAMS and USAGES tables. These entries are harmless.
If the OSS fileset is recovered using volume mode RESTORE and the original SQL 
catalog exists, the orphaned entries again match existing, valid SQL programs. If the 
OSS fileset is not recovered using volume mode RESTORE, then these SQL objects 
must be SQL-compiled to reregister them in the PROGRAMS and USAGES table; the 
orphaned entries remain in the table.
