Migration from Legacy to Agile Naming Model in VxVM 5.0 on HP-UX 11i v3
3. Migrating to Agile Naming Model
The migration of volume groups from legacy DSF naming model to persistent DSF
naming model can be achieved by using the following command.
vxddladm set namingscheme=osn mode=new
The execution of the above command would result in VxVM 5.0 migrating from
Legacy Naming Model to Agile Naming Model. The mode option applies to the
OS native naming scheme only.
For ease of use VxVM 5.0 supports both Agile and Legacy Naming model.
Below are some of the illustrations of operating under the various modes supported
by VxVM (as described in Section 2).
4. Different Modes of Operation
a. Default Mode
In this mode of operation the output-naming model would follow the input-
naming model.
vxddladm set namingscheme=osn mode=default
The execution of the above command would result in VxVM 5.0 operating in
default mode.
# vxdmpadm getlungroup dmpnodename=c9t6d0
NAME STATE ENCLR-TYPE PATHS ENBL DSBL ENCLR-NAME
==========================================================
c9t6d0 ENABLED Disk 1 1 0 Disk
# vxdmpadm getlungroup dmpnodename=disk9
NAME STATE ENCLR-TYPE PATHS ENBL DSBL ENCLR-NAME
==========================================================
disk9 ENABLED Disk 1 1 0 Disk
b. Legacy Mode
In this mode of operation the output-naming model would always follow the
legacy naming model.
vxddladm set namingscheme=osn mode=legacy
