RE: Recovery Problem

Pat.  By now you've seen all the answers to your original question.
How did the story turn out ?  Presumably they located a FULIC tape for 
their 9402/200 is a reasonable amount of time and have now restored ?

Subject:        Recovery Problem

I have a customer 9402/200 that crashed today... He was given the
instruction to do a option 21 on save menu to save entire system...
He has done that on a regular basis since the system installed 3
years ago... This is a VERY small system with only one drive(1.9 gb)
and of course he lost the system source drive... After the drive was
replaced, they attempted to IPL off of backup tape to do restore....

System was unable to use the tape to recover.. CE asks for FULIC/MULIC
tape, which they couldn't find...

My question is WHY would they need MULIC/FULIC if the entire system was
saved with option 21.... Doesn't the LIC getted saved using that
procedure ???

This is the first & only system that I have ever had to lose load 
source
drive,,, so I'm a little worried about other systems now.....
