RELOCATE DISKDUMPS
TMF State Requirement
Before you can use the RELOCATE DISKDUMPS command, TMF must be started.
Usage Guidelines
After moving or restoring dumps to a different location, use the RELOCATE
DISKDUMPS command to change the entries for the dumps in the TMF catalog. This
command selects disk media names in the catalog that match the serial numbers and
OLDDMLOC value specified, and changes their location to the NEWDMLOC value.
When the catalog entries are updated with the new locations, the dumps will be
available for recovery purposes.
If you use the wild-card character (*) in the OLDDMLOC parameter, you must also use
* for the NEWDMLOC parameter.
You can use this command for any reason you might have to move or restore dumps to
a different location. As an example, you might want to move dumps from one disk to
another just to free some space on the current disk. In doing this, you first copy the
dumps to the required disk volume; then, you issue the RELOCATE DISKDUMPS
command to modify the TMF catalog to reflect the relocation of the dumps; finally, you
purge the dumps from the old volume.
Example
The following RELOCATE DISKDUMPS command changes all catalog entries for
dumps made on the primary system (\PRI) to indicate that they now reside on the
remote system (\REM).
TMF 80> RELOCATE DISKDUMPS *, OLDDMLOC \PRI.*, NEWDMLOC \REM.*
