Understanding Data Volume States

State: Unknown

Meaning. A data volume can be in the unknown state only when TMF is in the process

of stopping. The volume is not configured as a data volume or it is configured but has

been shut down. TMF has no information about the volume.

Action. Use the STATUS DATAVOLS command again when TMF is running.

State: Unconfigured

Meaning. The volume is not configured as a data volume or an audit-trail volume. The

STATUS DATAVOLS command does not display active-audit volumes.

Action. If you want this volume to be audited by TMF, use the ADD DATAVOLS

command to add it to the TMF configuration. If you want this volume to be an active-

audit volume, use the ALTER AUDITTRAIL command. (Section 3, Occasional

Operations, discusses changing the TMF configuration.)

State: Adding

Meaning. The volume is being added to the TMF configuration as a data volume. This

state normally lasts only a few seconds.

Action. If a volume remains in this state, try to force a takeover of the associated disk

process by using the SCF PRIMARY command, or try to force a takeover of the $TMP

process by using the TMFCOM ALTER TMF, SWITCHPROCESS TMP command. The

SCF PRIMARY command is discussed in the SCF Reference Manual for G-Series

RVUs, and the ALTER TMF, SWITCHPROCESS TMP command is explained in the

TMF Reference Manual.

State: Startup begun
