Comments

IMG.VERIFY uses the tape unit(s) currently attached to the default channel.

Procedure

1. Ensure that the tape is loaded and on-line, that the tape is write-protected, and you are logged on to SYSMAN or SYSPROG.

2. Use T-ATT or ASSIGN to attach the required tape units to the default channel.

   Note

   If your backup was saved using multi-deck parallel save, you must attach the same number of tape units as used when saving. If you need more tapes than you have tape decks, you can use tape images as additional decks.

3. Enter at the TCL prompt:

   IMG.VERIFY

IMG.VERIFY now proceeds, as requested. If you have attached just one tape unit, you will be prompted to mount additional reels as necessary.

Example

:T-DEVICE 1 C:\TEMP\FASTBACKUP.RTI:C2 9

:T-ATT
[1021] Device(s) TAPE 1 now assigned,
       record size = 8000     density = 0.
