To convert non-CDS disks to CDS disks
If the conversion is not going to performed on-line (that is, while access to the disk group continues), stop any applications that are accessing the disks.
Type one of the following forms of the CDS conversion utility (vxcdsconvert) to convert non-CDS disks to CDS disks.
# vxcdsconvert -g diskgroup [-A] [-d defaults_file] \ [-o novolstop] disk name [attribute=value] ... # vxcdsconvert -g diskgroup [-A] [-d defaults_file] \ [-o novolstop] alldisks [attribute=value] ...
The alldisks and disk keywords have the following effect
The conversion involves evacuating objects from the disk, reinitializing the disk, and relocating objects back to disk. You can specify the -o novolstop option to perform the conversion on-line (that is, while access to the disk continues). If the -o novolstop option is not specified, stop any applications that are accessing the disks, and perform the conversion off-line.
Warning: |
Specifying the -o novolstop option can greatly increase the amount of time that is required to perform conversion. |
Before you use the vxcdsconvert command, make sure you understand its options, attributes, and keywords.
