Retrieve Files

Files that reside only on media are retrieved to disk when

 

accessed by the user during usual operations. Files can also be

 

retrieved to disk by issuing a fsretrieve command. The

 

fsretrieve command requires the name of each file to be

 

retrieved. Multiple files can be retrieved with the same

 

command.

 

 

 

 

Note

 

 

 

 

 

For more information on the fsretrieve command, refer to

 

 

the Command Reference book.

 

 

 

 

 

However, if these files reside on different file systems, the

 

command will either retrieve the files that are the most

 

numerous, or the files that are listed first in the fsretrieve

 

command. The command will not retrieve files from both

 

Filesystem.

 

If a file is retrieved to a new file name, the new file name must

 

be valid, and the user must have access to the directory. If the

 

file exists, the user must also have access to the file. The group

 

assigned to this new file is the primary group of the user who

 

initiates the fsretrieve command.

 

For example, if the user belongs to the groups FileServ,

 

sysadm, and sw respectively, all files retrieved to disk from

 

media are in the FileServ group. The UNIX permissions for

 

the new file are determined by the current umask of the user. If

 

a failure occurs when retrieving a file to a new file name, the

 

incomplete file with the new file name is not removed from

 

disk. The user can delete the new file name or re-retrieve the

 

file to the same new file name.
