File system migration
File system migration refers to the system management operations related to
stopping access to a file system, and then restarting these operations to access
the file system from a different computer system. File system migration might
be required to be done once, such as when permanently migrating a file system
to another system without any future desire to move the file system back to its
original system or to other systems. This type of file system migration is
referred to as one-time file system migration. When ongoing file system
migration between multiple systems is desired, this is known as ongoing file
system migration. Different actions are required depending on the kind of
migration, as described in the following sections.
Specifying the migration target
Most of the operations performed by the CDS commands require the target to
which the file system is to be migrated to be specified by target specifiers in the
following format:
os_name= os_name [,os_rel= os_release ][,arch= arch ]
[,vxfs_version=
vxfs_ver ][bits= bits ]
The CDS commands require the following target specifiers
:
os_name=os_name Specifies the name of the target operating system to which the
file system is planned to be migrated. Possible values are
HP-UX, AIX, SunOS, or Linux. The os_name field must be
specified if the target is specified.
os_rel=os_release Specifies the operating system release version of the target.
For example, 11.31.
arch=arch Specifies the architecture of the target. For example, specify
ia or pa.
vxfs_version=vxfs_version Specifies the VxFS release version that is in use at the target.
For example, 4.1 or 5.0.
bits=bits Specifies the kernel bits of the target. bits can have a value of
32 or 64 to indicate whether the target is running a 32-bit
kernel or 64-bit kernel.
