Source/Target DASD Volumes for Alternate-Volume Restore

In the Select Guidelines-Source/ Target DASD Volumes for Alternate-Volume Restore section, specify the following information in the appropriate fields:

• The volumes that the job is to restore
• The alternate target volume on which the job is to overlay minidisks from the source volume

If you are restoring a CKD device, the target volume must be the same device and class type as the source volume. For example, you must restore a 3380 device to a 3380 device. If you are restoring an FBA device, the target volume must be an FBA device. You cannot use pattern matching in these fields.

Source Volser

Specify the volser of the source volume (the volume to restore).

Target Volser

Specify the target volume (the volume to which to restore the source volume).

This volume must be online and must not be attached to a user ID, CA VM:Backup, or SYSTEM. CA VM:Backup attaches this target volume during the restore job. When the restore is complete, CA VM:Backup detaches the target volume. You can attach it to the system.

Target Raddr

Specify the real address of the target alternate volume. Enter a four-digit address.

Note: When restoring to an alternate volume, CA VM:Backup cannot restore to a minidisk that is defined with the END keyword in the CP directory. CA VM:Backup cannot determine the current size of such a minidisk. CA VM:Backup skips the minidisk.
