Cluster Selection

The RESTORE method determines which clusters and AIXs from the chosen catalog are restored. The possible methods are the same as those of EXPORT, but the method used in EXPORT does not dictate the method used in RESTORE. In fact, one of the CA FAVER features is the ability to restore one cluster from a mass export. Each RESTORE job uses one of the following methods:

Method

Function

CATALOG

Restores all clusters and alternate indexes on the EXPORT file. Optionally, you can exclude alternate indexes, paths, and specifically named objects.

VOLUME

Restores all objects residing on the exported volume or volumes. Optionally, you can exclude alternate indexes, paths, and specifically named clusters.

MCTLIST

Restores all clusters listed in a sequential file created by CA-MASTERCAT.

CLUSTER

Restores all objects whose names follow in cluster name parameters. Optionally, you can exclude alternate indexes and paths. The cluster names in the CL= and AIX= parameters can be specified in a generic form, allowing similarly named objects to be referenced with one statement.
