Re: I/O error trying to recover log backup

Thanks!! This restore finally works!

Oh wow... it took me over 2 weeks to figure out those several lines of
commands... so I guess I'll just post the whole result here, for the
potentially unhappy other folks who may try this at home:

db_connect
db_activate recover burvis
recover_start burvlog LOG 001
recover_replace burvlog /opt/sdb/data/wrk/BURVIS/BURVIS_LOG 002
recover_replace burvlog /opt/sdb/data/wrk/BURVIS/BURVIS_LOG 003

Thus I can restore as many log backups as I wish.
... and then log out of dbmcli and log back in again in "non-utility"
(normal) mode to activate database:

db_warm
load_systab -u dba,dba

Notes:
---------
For all restore commands you must use utility mode. Either log in with
-uUTL, or use db_connect when logged in.

Data log must be restored by db_activate recover command. Using
recover_start will produce errors later.
First log backup must be restored by recover_start <logname> LOG 001.
Next log backups must be restored by recover_replace <logname> <path> <nnn>.
Note that the command format is different from recover_start.

After restore, we need to put database into online state. Now get out of
utility mode because db_warm does not work there! Don't use db_activate
because this will clear all data! Use (1) db_warm (mandatory!) and then
load_systab -u dba,dba (must include the user!).
