HP OpenVMS Systemsask the wizard |

The Question is: Greetings. I recently archived a VMS cluster where I used the BACKUP/IMAGE command on shadowed, raided storage sets and the result was backup images containing a large RAID$BC1.SYS file, a RAID_Configuration file, along with the miscellaneous (sp) .sys fi les. How can I restore this data? I tried the prescribed method on the WIS TIS website, but it still doesn't work. The systems that were archived are no longer bootable, i had toi INIT/ERASE the disks and I cannot seem to replicate the environment to res tore them to. Thank you. The Answer is :
This appears to involve two two questions, and several steps.
First, follow the steps for restoring the BACKUP savesets onto the
target platform. This step does not particularly reflect the steps
around rebuilding the RAID configuration information, and it would
be best to restore the files onto a simple storage configuration
first.
The other question involves reconstituting the RAID software itself,
and that configuration sequence involves the steps outlined in the
RAID software documentation. (It would appear that the current
cofngiruation device names differ from those of the original
StorageWorks RAID system configuration.)
Once you have the reconstituted system disk and the reconstituted
RAID configuration, replace the old RAID configuration files with
the new files or recreate (rebind) the configuration files adding
in the additional disks.
The core RAID files are as follows:
RAID$BC1.SYS;1
RAID$CONFIGURATION_MANAGEMENT.SYS;1
RAID$FAULT_MANAGEMENT.SYS;1
RAID$RESERVED.SYS;1
The OpenVMS Wizard does not know which article you are refering to,
so specific suggestions are difficult -- and without this, the OpenVMS
Wizard is also unfortunately unable to make the article corrections
that are apparently necessary.
