We are trying to clone a Netware server using ADSM and have run into
the infamous problem described by IC08627:

APAR Identifier ...... IC08627      Last Changed ........ 95/02/20
ADSM NETWARE CANNOT DETECT INCREMENTAL CHANGES IN VOLUME RESTRICTIONS.

That is, we are getting messages saying that there is not enough disk
space when we are restoring the files, and clearly this means that the
user's original disk quota, rather than his current disk quota, got
restored to the new server.  We've been around and around on this one
for the past year, and I had thought that to save the VOLINFO data we
needed only to do a selective backup of one file per volume, specifying
the -VOLINFO option.  That appears not to be working, however, and
another reading of IC08627 seems to indicate that we need to do a
selective backup of everything:

  LOCAL FIX:
  to ensure a full backup, issue the following command for each
  volume:   DSMC SEL SYS:\* -VOLINFO.

I'm hoping that isn't the case (or that I don't understand what that
command does).  Does anybody know?

We are specifying the -VOLINFO option on the RESTORE, so that's not the
problem.
