Associating a Data Volume with a Different Audit
Trail
If you received an error message in Step 1, indicating that the volume did not shut 
down cleanly, you can force the volume to be deleted by including the 
ALLOWINCONSISTENCY option in the DELETE DATAVOL command. 
3. Issue an SCF STOP DISK command to bring the volume down within the system 
environment.
4. Move the volume to the new system.
5. Issue an SCF START DISK command to bring the volume back up within the new 
system environment.
6. Issue an ADD DATAVOL command to add the volume to the TMF configuration on 
the new system.
If the volume did not shut down cleanly in Step 1, you can force the volume to be 
added by including the IGNOREPREVIOUSCONFIG option in the ADD DATAVOL 
command. 
7. Make online dumps of all database tables or files on the added volume.
Use the SCF STOP DISK and SCF START DISK commands as described in the SCF 
Reference Manual for G-Series RVUs.
Associating a Data Volume with a Different Audit Trail
Most applications, even very large ones, use only a master audit trail. If you have 
configured one or more auxiliary audit trails, however, and you need to associate a 
configured data volume with a different audit trail, the proper way to do so is as follows:
1. Issue a DISABLE DATAVOL command to shut the volume down cleanly.
2. Issue a DELETE DATAVOL command to delete the volume from the TMF 
configuration.
If you received an error message in Step 1, indicating that the volume did not shut 
down cleanly, you can force the volume to be deleted by including the 
ALLOWINCONSISTENCY option in the DELETE DATAVOL command. 
3. Issue an ADD DATAVOL command to add the volume back into the TMF 
configuration, specifying the desired audit trail.
Caution. After the data volume has been deleted with the ALLOWINCONSISTENCY option, 
volume recovery cannot return it to a consistent state.
Caution. Volume recovery cannot repair any inconsistencies that exist when a data volume is 
added with IGNOREPREVIOUSCONFIG specified, even if the data volume is returned to its 
previous configuration environment.
Caution. After the data volume has been deleted with the ALLOWINCONSISTENCY option, 
volume recovery cannot return it to a consistent state.
