Error description
With server version 6.x, the volume history file is required to allow the database to be restored. Without a copy of it, the database cannot be restored. This is different to than previous server versions before 6.x where the database could be restored without a volume history file. Currently, if the volume history fails to backup or be written to, the following messages are reported: ANR4511E Volume history file /directory_name/volhist.out could not be opened. ANR4510E Server could not write sequential volume history information to /directory_name/volhist.out These messages do not indicate the full impact of not successfully backing up the volume history information. Additionally, in the Messages guide, these two messages are written for versions before version 6.x and require updating.
