Use external restore commands
Use the ontape -p -e command to perform a cold external restore. This command marks the storage spaces as physically restored. The following diagram shows the external physical restore syntax.
Perform an external physical restore >>- -p-- -e----------------------------------------------------><
| Element | Purpose | Key considerations |
|---|---|---|
| -e | Specifies an external restore | Must be used with the -p option. |
| -p | Specifies a physical restore | In a cold restore, if you do not specify storage space names, all of them are marked as restored. After the physical restore completes, you must perform a logical restore. |
Use the ontape -l command to perform a logical restore. For more information, see ontape utility syntax: Perform a restore.
