Administering CA VM:Tape (CMS TMCs Only) › Recovering the TMC › Example

Example

Rebuild a TMC using the latest TMC backup tape (created by VMTBKP) and the current Audit file (VMTAPE AUDIT C) to rebuild the TMC.

1. Issue CMS FILEDEF commands to describe the input files, in this case, the backup TMC and the Audit file:

   filedef backup tap1 sl 1 (lrecl 340 block 3400 recfm fb
   

   filedef audit disk vmtape audit c
   

2. Run the VMTBUILD utility:

   vmtbuild tmc backup audit
   

   CA VM:Tape responds as follows:
