Method 1

  1. Enter the MDSKLIST command to obtain a file that contains the list of minidisks on the specified volume.
  2. Update the online directory to reflect the new location of the minidisks. You only need to do this when the new location is a volume with a different label.
  3. Submit the restore job template file by entering the SUBMIT command with the MDSKLIST option.

    Note: If you are not restoring an entire DASD volume, edit the MDSKLIST file to specify the minidisks to restore. Use an exception file to include or exclude specific files from the restore.
