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.
Caution
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.
