     -vvol:class,vol:class,



























AVAILABILITY



This command is part of Veritas Storage Foundation for DB2.
To determine whether this product is installed on an \1 system, type:




lslpp -L VRTSdb2ed







DESCRIPTION



The dbdst_classify command is used to classify an existing DBDST ready MVS filesystem. 
DBA need to specify which storage_class each volume belongs to. Storage classes used in 
in this command must be predefined using dbdst_admin. It is important to note that
maxclass and minclass are not enforced and are advisory only. This command can be executed
when database is online. The MVS filesystem indicated by the mount_device should be available and 
mounted.





OPTIONS



The following options are supported:





.\" $Id: dbdst_options.inc,v 1.1 2006/02/16 01:33:08 susanl Exp $





















-D DB2DATABASE
Specifies the name of the DB2 database for which information will be retrieved.





-I DB2INSTANCE





Specifies the name of the DB2 instance. If the instance is not specified,
the current user will be used as the instance name.





-M mount_device





Specifies the block device where the file system resides. 
This should be of the form '/dev/vx/dsk/<dgname>/<vsetname>'





-v vol:class,vol:class





Specifies a comma separated list of vol:class pairs which indicate the 
volume name and the storage class it belongs to.
The storage_class specified by the class must be registered earlier using
dbdst_admin comand.










Real Application Clusters (RAC) Considerations



This command is supported in a RAC environment. This command can be run on any
node of the RAC.





EXAMPLES



This example shows how to classify volumes vol1 as storage class GOLD and 
vol2, vol3 as storage class SILVER
for a filesystem on device /dev/vx/dsk/oradata/arch.






$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbdst_classify -D PROD -M  /dev/vx/dsk/db2dg/arch   -v vol1:GOLD,vol2:SILVER,vol3:SILVER

This command can be executed when the database is online.


db2ed_update
must be run at least once before this command to ensure an up-to-date repository.
