DISABLE DATAVOLS

The DISABLE DATAVOLS command shuts down transaction processing (audited

updates) for the specified data volume and places this volume in the disabled state so

that it will not be automatically restarted by TMF.

volume

identifies a data volume for which transaction processing is to be disabled.

ABRUPT

specifies that TMF should immediately begin rejecting audited requests for the data

volume specified, even those on behalf of existing transactions that have already

updated this volume.

If ABRUPT is not specified, then transactions that have already acted on the

volume may continue to update it, and TMF will finish disabling the volume after all

such transactions have completed.

Security Restrictions

You can issue a DISABLE DATAVOLS command only if you are a member of the super

user group.

TMF State Requirement

Before you can enter the DISABLE DATAVOLS command, TMF must be started.

Usage Guidelines

The DISABLE DATAVOLS command is typically issued in preparation for deleting the

volume from the TMF configuration or to get ready for hardware servicing.

After you enter the DISABLE DATAVOLS command, the resulting disabled data volume

remains disabled and audited work on this volume is suspended until you explicitly

enable the volume again with the ENABLE DATAVOLS command.

The DISABLE DATAVOLS command succeeds only if the volume specified is in a

startup state (that is, startup begun, waiting for transaction resolution, queued for

recovery, recovering, or startup completing) or in the started, disabling, or down state.

Furthermore, if the volume is in the starting state, the command succeeds only if

ABRUPT is specified. These and other data volume states are explained in the

STATUS DATAVOLS command description.
