Salvaging Logical-Log Files

Use onbar -b -l -s to salvage the logs.

ON–Bar salvages logical logs automatically before a cold restore unless you specify a physical restore only. ON–Bar salvages the logical logs that are used before it restores the root dbspace. To make sure that no data is lost before you start the cold restore, manually salvage the logical logs in the following situations:

• If you must replace the media that contains the logical logs

  If the media that contains the logical logs is no longer available, the log salvage will fail, resulting in data loss.

• If you plan to specify a physical restore only (onbar -r -p)
