The DECRAM RECOVER command restores all the disks in MDRECOVER.DAT with the PERSIST attribute. In other words, the MDRECOVER.DAT file is read and a memory disk is created (including memory allocation) for each entry in the file with the PERSIST attribute. It is the same command that is run during startup under SYSMAN. You cannot delete memory disks once created without a reboot. A memory disk entry in MDRECOVER.DAT cannot be deleted but its size or capacity can be set to zero so that it does not use any system resources. The VMScluster operates with maximum recovery capability if MDRECOVER.DAT is on a VMScluster shared physical disk (see User's manual for details).
