Volume Management
Moving files
Depending on your disk space plan, you may need to move files from the
system volume set to a nonsystem volume set.
System volume files can be moved to a nonsystem volume set by using the
RESTORE command to move the entire group or account. For more
information on this command, refer to the Storing Files and Backing Up
the System Reference Manual (32650-90140) manual.
Example: Moving Files
This example shows how to move all of the files in an account from the
system volume set to a nonsystem volume set.
NOTE It is important to follow this example in order to create the
account structure and directory entries necessary on both the
system and nonsystem volume set.
1. Logon to the system.
2. Use the REPORT command to display information about the account,
MANUF, on the system volume. You should also use the LISTUSER
command to display users and their capabilities for the @.MANUF
users, and the LISTGROUP command to display group information.
Refer to the MPE/iX Commands Reference Manual Volumes 1 and 2
(32650-90003 and 32650-90364) for more information.

3. Use the STORE command to copy the system files to tape by account.
Refer to the Storing Files and Backing Up the System Reference
Manual (32650-90140) manual for more information on storing files.
_______________________________________

| :FILE T;DEV=TAPE |
| :STORE @.@.MANUF;*T;SHOW |
| |
_______________________________________
4. Use the REPORT command to make sure the account does not exist on
the nonsystem volume set. Here ONVS refers to "on the specified
volume set." ONVS can also be used to refer to the system volume
set.
_________________________________________

| |
| :REPORT @.MANUF;ONVS=PROD_SET |

| NON-EXISTENT ACCOUNT (CIERR 909) |
| : |

_________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________
NOTE Remember to purge the account or group on the system volume
first before using the RESTORE command with the CREATE
option. The account structure will not be created correctly
if the account or group exists on either the system or
nonsystem volume set when the files are restored.
_________________________________________________________________
5. Use the PURGEACCT command to delete the account from the system
volume set. If you were moving files by group, you would need to
use the PURGEGROUP command to purge the group from the system
volume set. Refer to the MPE/iX Commands Reference Manual Volumes
1 and 2 (32650-90003 and 32650-90364) for more information.
_______________________________________

| :PURGEACCT MANUF |

6. Use the RESTORE command with the CREATE option to restore the
files from tape to the nonsystem volume set, PROD_SET.
__________________________________________________________
| |
| |
| :RESTORE *T;@.@.MANUF;CREATE;SHOW;VOLSET=PROD_SET |
| |
__________________________________________________________
This command creates the necessary group and account entries on
both the system and nonsystem volume sets.
[REV BEG]
_________________________________________________________________
NOTE This command will only create user who are creators of the
files restored. If there are any @.MANUF users that only
read or modify files but do not create them, these users
will not be created. Hence the use of the LISTUSER command
in Step 2 of this procedure.

CAUTION Make sure you see the message verifying that the files
were successfully restored. Any error that occurs during
file restoration means that the files need to be restored
again.
_________________________________________________________________
"MIRROR" on the screen tells you that the account, MANUF was
created on both the system volume set and the nonsystem volume
set.
7. Use the REPORT command to make sure the account now exists on the
nonsystem volume set. Notice that the PUB group still resides on
the system volume set.
_________________________________________________________________
NOTE The PUB group normally resides on the system volume set.
When files are restored from tape, the PUB group's files
will automatically be restored to the system volume set. If
you want to change the home group of the PUB group, you will
need to use the ALTGROUP command. Refer to the MPE/iX
Commands Reference Manual Volumes 1 and 2 (32650-90003 and
32650-90364) for more information on this command.

________________________________________________________________
NOTE Because the accounts, groups and users will be created with default
capabilities, you may need to use the ALTACCT, ALTGROUP and ALTUSER
commands to alter the account's, group's and user's capabilities.
Remember to reset the passwords and UDCs because they are lost when
you use RESTORE with the CREATE option.
[REV BEG]
Another way to avoid this would be to use the NEWACCT;ONVS=,
ALTGROUP;HOMEVS=, and NEWGROUP;ONVS= (after having first stored the
files), then restore the files. This keeps all capabilities,
users, UDCs, and passwords intact.
Be sure to use ALTUSER on all users to add UV capability, or they
will not be able to logon or access the files in this account.[REV
