VSTORE

Consecutive tapes are speciﬁed in the following way:

< user ;RESTORESET = (*tape1,*tape2,*ta pe3,...)

This instructs MPE/iX to use only one drive at a time for the vstore

operation. When the ﬁrst reel of tape is exhausted, VSTORE will shift to the

next available drive, leaving the ﬁrst free for rewinding and changing

reels. Thus, at any given time, only one drive is occupied with the VSTORE

operation.

Parallel devices are speciﬁed by

|;RESTORESET=(*tape1),(*tape2),(*tape3)...|

In this example, all three tapes will be used in parallel during the

VSTORE operation.

A set of sequential tapes to be veriﬁed in parallel would be speciﬁed by

|;RESTORESET=(*tape1,*tape2),(*tape3,*tape4)|

In this example, two tapes would be verifying at any particular moment,

while the other two are rewinding, permitting the operator to switch reels.

This option cannot be used if the vstoreﬁle parameter is speciﬁed.

device Speciﬁes the device from which the ﬁles are to be veriﬁed. It must be a

magnetic tape or DDS. This device should be speciﬁed in a ﬁle equation

before you invoke the VSTORE command, ie:

:< user FILE DEVICE;DEV=TAPE

This ﬁle equation can also specify a remote device or a disk ﬁle.

MOSET Speciﬁes parallel Magneto Optical (MO) backup devices. This option is not

available if the storeﬁle option is speciﬁed.

Parallel devices are speciﬁed by either of the two following commands:

< user ;MOSET = (12),(13),(15)

< user ;MOSET = (MO),(MO),(MO)

All MO devices are used in parallel during the vstore process. The

preferred format is specifying just "MO", since VSTORE will use the the

NAME parameter to locate the correct media.

This option is not available if the vstoreﬁle parameter is speciﬁed.

NAME This parameter must be speciﬁed with the MOSET option, and cannot be

speciﬁed without it. It speciﬁes the logical name to be used for the backup.

For example:

< user VSTORE @.@.@;;MOSET=(12);NAME=DAILY.D23OCT90.BOZO

This name could indicate that the VSTORE process should be taken from

the daily backup done on 23 Oct 1990 on the system called BOZO.
