7.2.4 Restoring the WebSphere application database into the independent ASP

The process for restoring data is not different when using an independent ASP and clustering except that you should take care to specify the destination or restore to ASP. All restore commands now have the option of specifying that the data should be restored to a given ASP, which can be referenced by the IASP name or the ASP number. This includes the RSTLIB command to restore full libraries.

Restoring IFS files using the RST command is slightly different in that the destination path you specify should use the UDFS path that is automatically mounted when the IASP is varied on. In our previous example, the IASP was named Trade, so the restore path is /trade/Subdirectory_Name.

When configuring mirroring these changes are automatically pushed to the mirror copy as well if it is already started - or it will be copied as part of synchronization if you choose to configure mirroring after restoring all of your data.
