This BRARCHIVE command option sets the query mode.

            -q|-query [check|nolog]

Default value: archiving is started.

Possible values:

  • check: checks whether the proper volumes have really been mounted in the archive devices. The archive is not started.

    You can perform the preparation for an unattended archive to tapes as follows:

    1. Enter brarchive -q check to query the required tapes.

    2. Mount the required tapes in the tape devices.

    3. Enter cont to start the check of the mounted tapes.

    Once you have made these preparations, you can start an unattended archive on the same day, since you have already checked the validity of the tapes.

  • nolog: does not create or update detail, summary, and database logs for the function

    Example

    brarchive -u / -q nolog

See -q|-query.
