The following assumes you have  - full system backup with directory 


Here are the steps needed 

Boot the system from tape - CNTL B> RS 
Boot from Alternate path 


Perform the INSTALL: 

ISL> INSTALL 
This command initiates the INSTALL process, the system will restore the 
operating system files and provide you with another 'ISL>' prompt. 


At the second 'ISL>' prompt, enter the command: 

 ISL> START NORECOVERY NOSYSSTART 
 This will begin the actual start of the system. there are some things 
 you should expect when the system comes up: 

 Only LDEV 1 (and any User Volumes) will mount with a status of MEMBER or 
 MASTER 

  * The only user on the system is MANAGER.SYS (OPERATOR.SYS does not 
exist). 
    There will be no passwords, and UDC files will not work (they have not 
    been restored). You will need to manually enter a :HELLO command for 
    MANAGER.SYS 

    To add the drives back in, enter the following: 
    a) :DSTAT ALL - Observe which ldevs are mounted in either the SCRATCH 
or 
        LONER state. 

    b)  Scratch all the volumes that mounted in the LONER state. 
       :VOLUTIL volutil> SCRATCHVOL #   <# = LDEV number of device to be 
                                            scratched.> 

    c) Add the members of the system volumeset back onto the system by 
       using the NEWVOL command for each drive. 

    d)  - NEWVOL MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET:MEMBER# nn ppp ttt 
         MEMBER#: This is the VNAME value. 
        EXAMPLE: MEMBER2 
        nn: This is the device LDEV number. 
        ppp: This is the maximum percentage of the device that is to be 
             available to PERMANENT space. 
        ttt: This is the maximum percentage of the device that is to be 
             available to TRANSIENT space. 

        EXAMPLE: volutil> NEWVOL MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET:MEMBER2 2 
100 100 

        Restore your user files and the system directory: 
        :FILE T;DEV=TAPE 

        :RESTORE *T;@[log in to unmask]@-LOG####.PUB.SYS;DIRECTORY;& 
         OLDDATE;KEEP;SHOW=OFFLINE 

 @[log in to unmask]@-LOG####.PUB.SYS - Restoring the old system log files may cause 
system logging trouble in the future due to duplicate file names. 

DIRECTORY - Will restore the system volumeset directory and user volumeset
(s) directory(ies) (if any). & - Allows you to continue to add parameters to 
the  same command which extends beyond the end of a single line on your 
screen. 

OLDDATE - Sets the creation and accessed dates to the same values 
they held at the time they were stored. 

KEEP - Will check the disc to see if the file is already on the 
system, if it is, the file on disc will be used, if not, it will 
be restored from the tape. 

SHOW=OFFLINE - Will produce a listing of the restored files and 
send it to the LP device. 


I hope this helps.
