Re: Host Server problem

Well some more investigation today revealed that:

the as-svrmap job was actually ending after a connection attempt; I
followed this further and checked the client connect or something job
(QSADRCVSD) which revealed that the /QIBM/ProdData directories in the IFS
don't have anything in them on the restored system. Yep, nothing at all -
pretty clearly an error as far as I can tell.

So either what happened to you happened to us (V4R5 system and I have seen
some similar things that I usually attribute to operator problems) or the
restore was dodgy. There are some things about the restore that are
starting to seem a little fishy, so we are just going to do it again. I
guess thats the purpose of testing these things anyway.

Truth be known I probably stayed with this a little longer than I otherwise
would have because it seemed worth trying to work out what had gone wrong
from the testing point of view, and because I ad one guy report something
similar. I was curious as to whether there was a way to fix it without
recovering again.

Thanks to all the others who reponded

PS The cricket hasn't gone well for you guys recently ;) ('m an Aussie)
