Considerations for save and restore operations with remote journals

 

The following information describes general considerations for save and restore operations with remote journals:

• Rules for saving and restoring journals

• Rules for saving and restoring journal receivers

• File identifier considerations for working with integrated file system entries

• Considerations for restoring journaled objects

• Considerations for restoring objects saved with SAVSTG

• Rules for saving and restoring journals
  IBM recommends that you save the remote journal network after the addition of any and all remote journals that will be associated with the journal. This includes saving the local journal and any associated remote journals, as well as the journal receivers that are associated with the local journal.

• Rules for saving and restoring journal receivers
  The restore relationships for journal receivers associated with remote journals are described in this topic.

• Considerations for restoring journaled objects
  For an object that is restored and associated with a local journal in standby state, journaling starts for that object, but no restore entry is deposited in the journal receiver. If the object is being restored-over and is currently journaled to a local journal in standby state, the restore is not prevented, and no restore entry is deposited in the journal receiver.

• Considerations for restoring objects saved with SAVSTG
  If you restore a system from Save Storage (SAVSTG) media, the primary remote journal function concerns have to do with configuration changes involving additionally defined remote journals.
