Moving and Removing OSS Catalog Files
current RVU but not available in the RVU used at the time the fileset was created or
last upgraded. For example, a fileset created on a system running a D3x RVU cannot
contain symbolic links until its catalog file is upgraded.
Your fileset catalog files should have been automatically upgraded when you installed
a new product version of the OSS Monitor and started it for the first time. If your fileset
catalog files were not upgraded at that time, you should consider upgrading them as
soon as possible.
To upgrade a fileset catalog file:
1. Determine whether the fileset is mounted by using the SCF STATUS FILESET
Command.
2. If the fileset is mounted, stop the fileset by using the procedure described under
Stopping (Unmounting) a Fileset on page 5-13.
3. Enter the following SCF command for the fileset:
DIAGNOSE FILESET filesetname, UPGRADE
filesetname
specifies the fileset to have its catalog file upgraded so that it can support
current OSS features.
4. As soon as the upgrade operation is complete on the fileset catalog file, use the
SCF START FILESET Command for the fileset. Note that the root fileset must be
started before any other fileset can be started.
All mounted filesets can be stopped in one operation by using the wildcard character *
in place of a fileset name in the SCF STOP command. To run the SCF DIAGNOSE
FILESET Command on multiple filesets, use the CPU option to begin the process for
each fileset on a different processor.
Moving and Removing OSS Catalog Files
OSS catalog files cannot be moved or purged with standard OSS or Guardian file-
system commands; you must use the Guardian Catalog Volume Tool (CVT) utility.
CVT is useful in cases such as:
•
You can purge old catalog files once you have decided that an FSCK repair
operation was successful and the old files are no longer needed.
•
In the rare case of a double media failure, you can still perform a partial catalog
recovery by restoring the latest backup copy of the catalog file and running the
SCF DIAGNOSE FILESET command with the REPAIR ALL option.
The Guardian RESTORE utility cannot open files on OSS catalog subvolumes, but
you can restore the catalog to another subvolume and then use CVT to move the
restored catalog to the OSS catalog subvolume.
