Performing a cold external restore

If you specify the ontape -p -e command in a cold restore, you must restore all storage spaces. Use the ontape -p -e command to restore all storage spaces.

To perform a cold external restore:

  1. Shut down the database server with the onmode -ky command.
  2. To restore the storage spaces from an external backup, use a copy command, such as cp, dd, or tar on UNIX or a file-backup program.

    You must restore the storage spaces to the same path as the original data.

  3. To perform an external restore of all storage spaces followed by a logical restore, use the following commands:
    • ontape -p -e
    • ontape -l
