Restore NAS

The restore nas command restores the image of a file system belonging to a Network Attached Storage (NAS) file server. The NAS file server performs the outboard data movement. A server process performs the restore.

Use the nasnodename option to specify the node name for the NAS file server. When using an interactive command line session with a non-administrative ID, Tivoli Storage Manager prompts for an administrator ID. The NAS node name identifies the NAS file server to the Tivoli Storage Manager server. You must register the NAS node name at the server. Place the nasnodename option in your client options file dsm.opt. The value in the client options file is the default, but this value can be overridden on the command line. See Nasnodename for more information.

You can use the pick option to display a list of NAS images owned by the NAS node you specify. From this list you can select one or more images to restore. If you select multiple images to restore using the pick option, do not use the monitor option or you will serialize the restores. To start multiple restore processes simultaneously when restoring multiple images, do not specify monitor=yes.

Use the monitor option to specify whether you want to monitor a NAS file system image restore and display processing information on your screen. See Monitor.

Use the monitor process command to display a list of current restore processes for all NAS nodes for which your administrative user ID has authority. The authorized administrative user ID should have at least client owner authority over both the NAS node and the client workstation node they are using either from command line or from the web.

Use the cancel process command to stop NAS restore processing. For more information, see Cancel Process.

A NAS file system specification uses the following conventions:
