Restoring Files from Magneto-Optical Disk (MOSET and NAME)
To RESTORE files from magneto-optical devices, use the MOSET parameters
in the RESTORE command to reference the devices. Use of the MOSET
parameters is explained in the following pages.
Specifying the Magneto-Optical Device
Normally, you do not need to designate a specific device or LDEV when
restoring from a magneto-optical device. You use the MOSET option to
indicate a magneto-optical device. You do not use file equations as you
do when using tape drives. Nor do you use the RESTORESET option to back
reference the device. Instead, you specify that the RESTORE is to be
from the MO device through the MOSET option of the RESTORE command. For
example:
;MOSET=(MO)
If you must specify the LDEV, (for example, you have multiple
magneto-optical devices and media is not loaded in the magneto-optical
device), the MOSET option can be used to specify the LDEV number. For
example:
;MOSET=(101)
Specifying the Backup Name
The media name you specified with the STORE command is required when
restoring from a magneto-optical device. Use the NAME option to indicate
the logical tape name from which the RESTORE is to be done. For example:
;NAME=BK1130PM.D23OCT90.KING
If the media is not loaded in the magneto-optical device at the time the
RESTORE is started, you are prompted to mount the media. For example:
23:24/#S1/51/MOUNT THE MEDIA LABELLED BK1130PM.D23OCT90.KING IN THE MAILSLOT OF LDEV 101 (Y/N)?
After you load the correct media in the magneto-optical device, reply to
the message.
When the specific media is no longer required, it ejects to the devices
mail slot. The media is returned to the storage slot or mail slot
depending on where the specific media was loaded.
Restoring from a Single Magneto-Optical Device
The following example illustrates the RESTORE command to RESTORE files
from a single magneto-optical device.
:RESTORE; @.@.@;MOSET=(MO);NAME=BK1130PM.D23OCT90.KING
Restoring from Multiple Devices
Multiple magneto-optical devices can be used in parallel for restores by
specifying each magneto-optical device drive with the MOSET option.
The following example illustrates the RESTORE command using two
magneto-optical devices in parallel:
:RESTORE;@.@.@;MOSET=(MO,MO);NAME=BK1130PM.D23OCT90.KING
Using this command, both drives will be restoring simultaneously.
NOTE Restoring from sequential magneto-optical devices is no longer
supported.
