Re: Reclaim Storage -- MIDRANGE-L

If you were worried about damaged objects could you do something like
DSPOBJD OBJ(*ALL/*ALL) OBJTYPE(*ALL) DETAIL(*FULL) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE)
OUTFILE(QGPL
/OBJDESC)
and then query the outfile to see if the object was damaged?  Or are there
system objects or something that wouldn't show up?  That would let you know
if anything was damaged prior to the save.  Granted, if you had a lot of
objects this could take awhile.  You do have a lot but then again you've
got the fastest iSeries in Indiana with lots of disk arms so it shouldn't
take that long should it?  :)  That way you could do the save first and
cancel your subscription to midrange-jobs.

I always run the RCLSTG prior to the whole system save.  I was running
into too many saves failing because of damaged objects.  Real fun to
restart 10 hour saves.

Never had a RCLSTG blow a system out of the water.  And we've done some
funny things.

Heck, if it ever does, you have your Business Recovery plan ready, eh?
(Hopefully it's better than knowing the email address to the midrange jobs
list.)

Reclaim Storage






We performed our last reclaim storage about 2 ½ years ago on V4R5. We are
now on V5R1 preparing to go to V5R2 next month. Is it necessary to perform
a system backup prior to doing a reclaim storage? I am not certain what
all the reclaim storage does, so if it craps out in the middle, would we
be stuck with our shorts down if we do not have a backup?
Dave
