Example - HP BACKCOPY Reference Manual

If you want to restore a volume-mode BACKUP to an upgraded disk, you must first issue an
SCF START command to the new target disk to update its internal tables. For example:
◦
A volume-mode backup was performed on a device with subtype XX.
◦
You need to issue an SCF START command on the new target volume, then an SCF STOP
command.
◦
Now you can perform a volume-mode RESTORE to the new target volume (on a device
with subtype YY).
Microcode and bootstrap sections are deleted from the disk image during a volume-mode
RESTORE process. These special disk image sections are specific to the hardware configuration
of the disk at the time of the backup and might not apply to the restored disk. Generally, these
sections are found only on $SYSTEM and should not present problems for any other disks.
Do not use volume mode to compress a volume. No disk compression is performed by
volume-mode BACKUP or RESTORE processes.
SQL catalog consistency during a volume-mode RESTORE process is only assured if catalogs
and the files they describe exist on the same volume.
You must use the RENAME option if you use the TARGET and VOLUMEMODE options to
restore data to a disk that is different from the original source disk (and both the target disk
and the source disk are on the same system). Otherwise, error 66 is returned when an SCF
START command is issued to the restored disk. By using the RENAME option, you can prevent
the problem:
RESTORE $tape,VOLUMEMODE,*,TARGET $lev-for-$data1,RENAME
$data1
Any volume-mode BACKUP/RESTORE request to an SMF virtual disk results in the error
message:
Volume Mode BACKUP/RESTORE is incompatible with SMF
virtual disks, use File Mode.
If you attempt a volume-mode backup from a disk with a capacity greater than 2 GB, you will
be unable to restore it to an operating system version prior to D30, and this message is
generated:
The source disk has a capacity of more than 2 GB, which
cannot be restored to a pre-D30 system.

Example

This example displays the sequence of commands used in a volume-mode RESTORE process.
NOTE: The target disk must be in the DOWN state before a volume-mode RESTORE command
can be executed. In a file-mode RESTORE process, the target disk remains UP.
NOTE: Any volume-mode BACKUP/RESTORE request to an SMF virtual disk results in the error
message: Volume Mode BACKUP/RESTORE is incompatible with SMF virtual
disks, use File Mode.
In this example, $DATA is the target disk to be restored. $DATA is configured as a DP2 mirrored
volume on logical device $9 and is currently UP.
Before entering any commands, you need to know the disk process type of the backup tape. For
a volume-mode RESTORE process, the target disk and the disk image on tape must have the same
disk process type.
1. Check the current state of the disk:
180 RESTORE
