Volume Management

COPYSET 

The COPYSET command copies one or more members of a volume set to another
volume set.  The master must be copied first, because it contains
information that must be placed on the member volumes.  The source
volumes must be mounted in the LONER state, and the destination volumes
must be mounted in the SCRATCH or UNKNOWN state.

Allows the copying of an entire volume set.  Additionally, it enforces
the integrity of the target and source volume sets to prevent intermixing
of original and copied volumes.

Task 

Copies the contents of one volume set to another volume set.

Capability 

CV, create mountable volume set

Syntax 

     volutil: COPYSET [SNAME=]sname [FROM=]from_ldev 
                      [TO]=to_ldev [GEN]=gen_number 

Parameters 

sname                 The volume set that will be copied.  The master
                      volume of the set must be copied first.  Required.

from_ldev             A number from 1 to 100 specifying the logical
                      device number of the destination volume that must
                      be configured into the device class DISC and have a
                      volume mounted in the LONER state.  Use the DSTAT
                      command to determine the state of the volume.
                      Required.

to_ldev               Must identify a volume mounted in the SCRATCH or
                      UNKNOWN state.  Required.

gen_number            A number from 1 to 32767 specifying the new
                      generation number of the copied volume set.
                      Optional.  If it is omitted, the generation number
                      will be one greater than the original volume set.

Example 

This example shows how to copy one member of a volume set to another.

   1.  Place the master of the volume set you want to copy in the LONER
       state by using the VSCLOSE system command.  If the master volume
       is not online when you mount the member volumes, the member
       volumes will mount in the LONER state.

   2.  Use the DSTAT command to verify that the source volumes are
       mounted in the LONER, and the destination volumes are mounted in
       the SCRATCH or UNKNOWN state.

   3.  Copy the master to the other volume set.

       After the volume has been copied, both volumes (the source and the
       target) would be LONER volumes.
