Re: Save / Restore Storage

["Al Barsa" <barsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Restoring storage is tricky.  (I have one going on in the next room now.)

The error screens are confusing, at best.

You definitely should NOT add the DASD or start RAID-5.  The restore
storage processing will bring this back.

We have done a save storage of a machine, and replaced 20 of 30 drives with
the same size drive.  We are now Tring to do a restore storage, and it is
not letting up because it says current configuration does not match what is
on the tape.  We called IBM before we started, and they said it was
possible to do a restore storage, as long as there were the same number of
drives and they were the same size or larger.  Has anyone else done this,
or have any Ideas?  Should we not have started parity before we attempt the
restore?


Thanks,

Chris
