Re: RST Command Question - This is a QUIZ! (Answer)

??
Vern

We just did this and the results were these things (I have a job-log to prove this!)

   1) All user profiles and security data
   2) All configuration objects (Except TAP01 and DSP01)
   3) All user libraries
   4) All Documents and FOlders
   5) All IFS Objects
   And as a Bonus a RSTAUT is run

Amazed the heck outta me, I gotta tell ya!

We surmised that it would restore the contents of the IFS since as some guessed that is what was saved on the IFS portion of the SAVE 21.
When it hauled off and started restoring libraries we stared in amazement!!

Now we're looking for an explanation of this behavior. ;-)

Setup:

You have a Full SAVE option 21 tape in your tape drive - TAP01
Your system is in restricted state.
You enter this command at the console:    RST DEV('/qsys.lib/tap01.devd')

What gets restored to your system?
