Creating an Alternate System Disk

1. Prepare and rename the volume using the subsystem control facility (SCF). See

these manuals:



NonStop NS-Series Hardware Installation Guide



NonStop S-Series Hardware Installation and Fast Path Guide

2. Run Verify Database from the ZPHITI. See Verifying the Target System Database

(ZPHITI) on page 17-18.



If the volume was a scratch volume, Verify Database will stop in restartable

mode, issuing an EMS message that no scratch volumes are configured on the

target system. Define at least one scratch volume using the ZPHITMI. Then

restart the Verify Database activity. After successful completion of Verify

Database, update the volume usage information using the ZPHIHMI.



If the volume was an archive volume, update the volume usage information

using the ZPHITMI and ZPHIHMI after successful completion of Verify

Database. See Updating the Volume Usage on page 17-11

3. Create an independent snapshot. See Creating an Independent Snapshot of the

Target System on page 17-19.

4. Add a logical target for the alternate system disk, including performing a

Build/Apply to the new logical target. See Adding a Logical Target on page 5-17.
