Check Softlinks that Cloud Connector Uses

CA Cloud Storage for System z uses softlinks to map virtual volser ranges to mount points of its Virtual Vault on the Linux server. If you change FSTAB or the mount point subdirectories, you may need to correct the softlinks that point to them.

Follow these steps:

Issue the following command to change to the Virtual Vault subdirectory containing softlinks that the Cloud Connector uses:
```
cd /var/lib/cacloud/vault_01
```
Verify that the softlinks are properly defined.
Softlinks direct Virtual Volume volser ranges to mount points of the disk appliance. If the links are incorrect, you can correct the links manually. You can also remove broken softlinks then regenerate missing softlinks using cacloud or Linux commands. Use the following softlink commands:
- To display the softlinks:
```
ls -l vv_*
```
- To remove broken softlinks:
```
sudo rm ./vv_nnn
```
- To direct cacloud to regenerate missing softlinks:
```
sudo cacloud vol_mkdir -fix
```
- To create new softlinks using cacloud:
```
sudo cacloud vol_mkdir mp_nnn/vv_nnn
```
- To create softlinks:
```
sudo ls -s mp_nn/vv_nnn vv_nnn
```
