Validate Sysback
- Thread starter laurin1
- Start date
There's the smitty procedure (smitty verify_tape) which executes the listvgbackup -V -f /dev/mag_tape_device
This procedure only verifies if the system backup is valid.
The mksysb contained in a magtape is preceded by a bootable image, and a fake utoc
Try to read the mksysb script file to understand correctly the format and see how to validate also the bootable image... Perhaps the bootinfo -B /dev/mag_tape_device wuold give some info
