HI ,
CAN I JUST SAY (FIRST TIME DOING THIS TYPE OF RESTORE)
I AM TRYING TO DO AN IMAGE RESTORE OF A DISK FROM TAPE (IN THIS CASE DSA1200)
I WANT TO MOUNT THE DISK FOREIGN IN ORDER TO RESTORE THE IMAGE BUT AM GETTING 'CONFLICTING QUALIFIERS' ERRORS
THE DISK NAME IS 'DSA1200' BUT IT IS SHADOWED TO $1$DGA250'
SO IN OTHER WORDS WHEN YOU 'SHOW DEV D'
$1$DGA250 IS A SHADOWSETMEMBER (member of DSA1200)
So Im confused as regards how I actually dismount it and remount / foreign in order to do this image restore.
Many thanks in advance
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: IMAGE RESTORE TO A SHADOW DISK
To restore the image backup of a shadowed disk, you need to restore it to a non-shadowed disk first and then form a shadowset from that restored member, e.g.
$ MOUNT/FOR $1$DGAxxx:
$ BACKUP/IMAGE tape:saveset/SAVE $1$DGAxxx:
$ DISM/NOUNL $1$DGAxxx:
$ MOUNT/SYS DSAnnn:/SHADOW=$1$DGAxxx: label
Make sure that DSAnn: does not yet exist and that $1$DGAxxx: is not a member on an existing shadowset, when you run the restore.

SolutionNow this messages seems to indicate, that the output disk $1$DGA250: is write-locked. Is it not ?
What does $ SHOW DEV/FULL $1$DGA250: tell you ?
If you're sure, that you can overwrite the contents of $1$DGA250:, try a simple INIT $1$DGA250: SCRATCH - if the disk is really write locked, that will fail as well.
Volker.

Re: IMAGE RESTORE TO A SHADOW DISK
Is $1$DGA250: a new unit created for you to restore this image backup ? You can try a MOUNT/FOREIGN $1$DGA250: to see, if this disk has an OpenVMS disk volume label.
The disk may be write-locked at the SAN level (on the EVA controller), maybe there is a problem on the underlying diskgroup on the EVA as well.
If you're sure the disk contains nothing of value, try $ INIT $1$DGA250: SCRATCH
If you can write to that disk with INIT, I would not expect the BACKUP/IMAGE restore to fail.
Volker.

Re: IMAGE RESTORE TO A SHADOW DISK
After you did INIT the disk o.k., did the BACKUP/IMAGE also succeed ?
Maybe the disk $1$DGA250: had been a previous shadowset member. If you mount such a disk as a non-shadowed disk, it will automatically be write-locked. This would happen with a normal MOUNT. Maybe something also caused this effect to happen after a MOUNT/FOREIGN while BACKUP was trying to init the disk...
