Define a virtual filespace mapping for the restore operation

If you are restoring data to a location that is different from the location that you backed up the data from, define a virtual filespace mapping for the restore operation. You must perform this process as a part of configuring IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for managing NDMP backups on an PowerScale cluster.

  1. Define a virtual filespace mapping by running the following command:
    def virtualfs <ip_addr_or_node_name> <virtual_filespace_name> <file_system_name> <path>

    The following example creates a filespace mapping for /ifs/data.

    def virtualfs node001 /data-restore /ifs /data
  2. Restore data by running the following command:
    restore node <ip_addr_or_node_name> <virtual_fs_backup_location> <restore_file_system_name>
    NOTE:If you are restoring data to the same location that you backed up the data from, you do not need to define a virtual filespace mapping.
    The following example restores data on node001:
    restore node node001 /data-backup /data-restore wait=yes
