JR Are you using any options or features of the dsmc command that are not available with the dsm gui command.
If I remember correctly the gui will allow multiple file systems to be selected and will optimize the tape mounts. I wonder if one starts multiple dsmc restores at the same time will the system optimize the tape mounts? len -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of JR Trimark Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 4:26 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] JR- dsmc multilpe filesystem restore on 1 line Jim, The problem I am running into is that by using multiple dsmc commands, I have to load/reload tapes for every file system I am restoring since I only have a single tape drive and my data is on 2 tapes. Any ideas?

The second file system name is the location to which the first file system is restored. I create a script with multiple dsmc commands, each one restoring one file system. Assuming your data is on separate tapes or on disk, you have to run multiple commands to restore more than one file system at a time.
