Let's assume for the sake of this discussion that the
old server (downserver) cannot be brought up in order
to syncvldb against the empty /vicep mount points.
Let's also assume that OpenAFS is not being used, but
IBM AFS is being used. I know this is the openafs-info
list and all, but I'm sure many of you have legacy
experience with IBM/Transarc AFS. That is, 'vos changeloc'
is not available.
It is if you get yourself a new enough version of 'vos'.
My condolences :/
My concern is the wording of the 'vos delentry' instructions:
"A specified volume can be any of 3 types (RW, RO, or
backup), but the ENTIRE ENTRY is removed no matter
what type is provided."
Does that mean if I 'vos delentry -server downserver' and,
while processing the VLDB for things to delete, it will
delete ALL replica site information for a RO that was on
downserver?
I'm not sure. But assuming it IS, it's not a problem. Simply sort out
which volumes were RO, and instead of doing "vos delentry" on them do
"vos remsite".
Yes; 'vos delentry' removes an entire VLDB entry. You can use remsite to
remove an RO site, but not a RW site. On the other hand, changeloc can
only be used to change the recorded location of the RW site.
So...
- Use 'vos remsite' to remove any RO sites on the old server.
- Use 'vos changeloc' to change the recorded locations of any RW volumes.
- Finally, use 'vos syncvldb' against the partitions on the new server to
record the locations of any RO sites.
