BACKUPs and bound volume sets?

» close window

The Question is:

 
We would like to restore a system disk that is on two RZ29 disk drives that
are striped and mirrored (HSJ controllers) to two RZ29 bound disk (HSD
controllers).  Is this possible?
 
Thanks,

The Answer is :

 
  The Wizard would hope that the data transfer would operate, particularly
  when using the supported and documented OpenVMS BACKUP/IMAGE procedures.
 
  A host-based bound volume set is not supported and not recommended for
  use as an OpenVMS system disk, however.
 
  Specific information on support for "HSD" controller-based stripe and
  shadow sets requires specific controller identification and information
  on the configuration under consideration -- please see the available
  catalogs and the OpenVMS Software Product Description (SPD) for further
  information on OpenVMS device support.
 
  For further information, please contact the customer support center.
