RECOVER FILES
If you omit the FROMARCHIVE parameter but include the TOFIRSTPURGE,
TIME, TOMATPOSITION, SERIAL, or MAP NAMES parameter, the
FROMARCHIVE operation becomes the default operation (so that all files
requested are recovered). For example, if you enter the following command,
FROMARCHIVE takes effect by default:
TMF 10> RECOVER *.*.*, SERIAL 92
NOWAIT
requests that when TMFCOM accepts the RECOVER FILES command, it
suppresses display of the EMS events for the file-recovery operation and
immediately issues a prompt for another command.
You can check the status of the recovery operation later by issuing a STATUS
OPERATIONS command.
If you do not specify NOWAIT, TMFCOM lists the EMS events on your terminal or
writes them to the OUT file (if you specify that) as the recovery progresses.
TOFIRSTPURGE
terminates file recovery when the first audit record for purging any file in the
specified file sets is encountered; the purge record is not reapplied. When you
select the TOFIRSTPURGE option, TMF always also uses the FROMARCHIVE
option, even if you do not explicitly select it; as a result, TMF recovers all files
requested from the relevant online and audit dumps, and directs that file recovery
redo all transactions that were committed before the purge operation.
SERIAL serial-number
recovers only files from the online dump identified by serial-number. If you
enter a number less than 64, TMFCOM returns an error message. When you
select the SERIAL option, TMF always also uses the FROMARCHIVE option,
even if you do not explicitly select it.
SYSTEM node
identifies the node on which all tape media used for restoring online dumps are
mounted. The syntax rules for specifying a node name appear under Disk File
Names, earlier in this section. The default is the local node. If you specify a
remote node, Guardian labeled-tape processing must be enabled on that node and
must be running on the NonStop OS. TMF, however, need not be configured or
running on the remote node.
Tape media used for restoring audit dumps are requested on the node specified in
the audit dump configuration.
