 /d: Delete original volume if copy process is successful. If you choose to
delete the traditional volume, the new volume will retain the name of the
that volume.
 /r: Remove xxx_new NSS volume and restore xxx traditional volume (use
this option if you want to keep the original volume name for the new
logical volume name).
 ds_container: Original volume’ DS container
 ds_volumeName: If specified, the vcu conversion utility uses this name
to rename or delete the original volume’s DS object. Otherwise, vcu.nlm
uses serverame_originalVolName as the default DS name
The parameters in this list are optional; you can include any of the parameters
in the list.
To convert a volume, you specify the volume to convert and then specify the
NSS pool where you want to store the data from the volume. Enter the
following at the server console:
vcu volume_name pool_name
For example,
vcu apps poolone
In this example, the volume conversion utility copies the data in the volume
apps and places it in Poolone.
If you want to keep the name of the traditional volume and use it for the new
logical volume, enter the following at the server console:
vcu /r xxxx yyyy_old[ds_container[ds_volName]]
In this example, xxxx is the original traditional volume name, yyyy_old is the
modified traditional volume name. If xxxx is longer than 11 characters,
yyyy_old might be VCU0000_old, otherwise yyyy_old will be xxxx_old.
