Re: GO SAVE-Option 21 -- MIDRANGE-L

Thanks Rhishabh.

This server on which I do option 21,is a DR Server.iTera is installed on this.

Do I need to specifically end iTera on this Backup Server before taking option 21.?

Also shud I do endsbs *all *immed and then take option 21 once QCTL is the only sbs remaining?

Thanks
Darell

Though a full checklist is available for V5R4 (
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/index.jsp?topic=/rzaiu/rzaiurzaiu267.htm)
but its like not all the steps are important . You may want to refer it at
least once.

Option 21 automatically puts the system in restrcited state , but it is
advisable that one should end the system manually to restrcited state so
that if any issues occures while putting it to restrcited state it can be
delt with .

I have faced issues while putting the system in restrcited state when one of
the ROBOT subsystem did not end . For which i came to know that we should
end the robot netowrk before starting the save. Hence one should end Domino
, Robot , or any network application normally before ending the server.

If any error occurs you will get your control back and if you want to end it
use System Request Menu ( Attention Key ) ( option 2 to end the request and
option 6 to check message queue)

And as far as media is concerned , you if the density if ULTRIUM3 then you
should *ULTRIUM3
at the DENSITY parameter

Hi,

I have to take he full system backup using GO SAVE option 21.I have to do
this thru the Primary Console.Can you please let me know he following:

1.Once I am on primary console,do I have to do any other thing
apart from taking option 21.

2.Do I have to specifically take ENDSYS or ENDSBS (*ALL) and then do option
21?

3.Any other precaution I have to take?Will the system automatically come up
after option 21 excutes fully?

4.I guess opion 21 will not throw me out of the system as I will be logged
in to QCTL.

5.I also need to initialize an existing tape of Volume ID DX0091 which has
been used before on the same system.Is the following INZTAP command correct:

INZTAP DEV(TAP03) NEWVOL(DX0091) CHECK(*NO) DENSITY(*FMT3590E)

I am not sure about the DENSITY parameter.Is the *FMT3590E correct?he tape
media type which shows is L3 and Media Class is Ultrium3 and device type is
3580.

Thanks
