Renaming a Physical Disk in a Pool Containing
VDP Catalog
Before you rename a physical disk which is inside a pool and contains VDP catalog,
you must make sure that there are no logical files related to the user-created files on
the VDP catalog. This action can be accomplished by either purging or relocating those
files. To ensure that no more logical files are created on the disk you are excluding, you
should isolate it.
Example
Consider that the SMF subsystem ($ZSMS, the pool processes and VDPs) is up and
running. Suppose you have a pool process, $POOL, that uses virtual disk process
$VDP, which is configured on $DISK1. The pool process contains two disks, $DISK1
and $DISK2. You need to remove $DISK1 from that pool.
For G-series releases, use the following commands:
1. Get information on VDP saved:
SCF INFO $VDP,OBEYFORM
FUP INFO $VDP.zsmscat.*,DETAIL
For example:
$VDP.ZSMSCAT.ANT PHYSICAL FILENAME:
$DISK1.ZYS00000.A0000000
$VDP.ZSMSCAT.DEPOBJ PHYSICAL FILENAME:
$DISK1.ZYS00000.A000000B
$VDP.ZSMSCAT.IDENTITY PHYSICAL FILENAME:
$DISK1.ZYS00000.A000000A
$VDP.ZSMSCAT.PENDOPS PHYSICAL FILENAME:
$DISK1.ZYS00000.A0000001
$VDP.ZSMSCAT.VERSION PHYSICAL FILENAME:
$DISK1.ZYS00000.A000000C
2. Isolate the physical volume:
>SCF ALTER DISK $DISK1,PHYSVOLSELECT OFF
3. Stop SAFEGUARD to preserve the SAFEGUARD information:
>SAFECOM STOP SAFEGUARD
4. Relocate all existing files:
>FUP RELOCATE $VDP.*.*,$DISK2
Note. Files might not be relocated if there are user files which are alphanumerically behind
$VDP.ZSMCAT.ANT. If such files exist, they should be relocated separately using similar
commands specifying subvolumes, file names, and wild cards.
