472.0. "parallel RMU restore possible via ABS ?" by ATZIS3::KARTNER_M (HOUSTON, we have a problem) Mon Jun 02 1997 07:34

    Hi!
    
    I've got some question of a customer running SLS. When doing
    a RMU backup of a database he is able to write to several tapes
    parallel. But he is not able to restore it this way via SLS
    (he has to restore it manually)
    
    Is there a way to do a automated restore request that can handle
    this kind of RMU data ?
    
    							thanks
    							Michael
    
    PS.: Sorry for the lack of informations but this was a request
         from another country via telephone

Multistreaming restores are not supported with SLS (or ABS I suspect).
472.3My question is regarding ABSATZIS3::KARTNER_MHOUSTON, we have a problemTue Jun 03 1997 00:4111
    Hi!
    
    Thanks for your answers. Reguarding to the "post ins the SLS
    conference" ... I'm afraid ny question wasn't very clear 
    (ABS was only mentioned in the header). The customer wants to
    know if ABS is able to do so --> this would be a absolute reason
    for him for "grading up" to ABS
    
    								thanks

472.4I think you can with ABSCOOKIE::HEISLERChris Heisler, ABS EngineeringTue Jun 03 1997 07:3310
    Michael,
    
    If you put the RMU qualifiers as agent options, and you set
    number of drives (in the environment) to more than 1, I believe
    that you can do the multistreaming.  I'll check with Masami
    about that.  
    
    ABS doesn't have the switches built in to do it.

    ABS should be able to perform multistreaming RMU backup and restore.
    
    You have to set the "Number of drives" in execution environment to the
    number of drives you need to use for the save/restore.  For the
    media_type you use for this operation, make sure that the multiple
    drives you want to use ARE associated in the media triplets in 
    tapestart.com (MDMS).
