RECOVER FILES
when taking dumps of these files, or referring to them in the RECOVER FILES
command, you must refer to these files by their logical or direct file names, not by their
physical file names. Nevertheless, with the TOPHYSVOL parameter, you can identify
the physical target disk volume where you wish TMF to place the logical recovered
files. Furthermore, with the WHEREPHYSVOLIS parameter, you can recover all the
logical files on a specified physical volume. The TOPHYSVOL and
WHEREPHYSVOLIS options are mutually exclusive: if you specify both of these
options, WHEREPHYSVOLIS takes precedence and TOPHYSVOL is ignored.
It is important to remain aware of the free space available on the destination physical
volume; if the physical volume becomes full, the file recovery process aborts.
If a physical disk that contained a virtual disk process (VDP) catalog fails, you must
recover the files in two steps:
1. Issue a RECOVER FILES command with the RECOVERVDPPHASE1 option to
recover the VDP catalog.
2. Issue a RECOVER FILES command, without the RECOVERVDPPHPASE1 option,
to recover the files.

User’s Guide.
Output Displayed
As file recovery progresses, TMFCOM displays EMS messages about various events
that take place. The format and content of these messages varies. Examples appear
along with the command-entry examples.
Examples
The following RECOVER FILES command recovers the audited file T1, residing on the
disk volume $DATA02 and the subvolume TMF. The command is entered interactively
and, because the NOWAIT option is not specified, the resulting EMS messages are
displayed on the terminal as the recovery progresses:
TMF 71> RECOVER FILES $DATA02.TMF.T1, FROMARCHIVE
