Determination of Alternate Index and Path New Names

When clusters with paths and/or alternate indexes associated with it are restored with the NEWNAME parameter, CA Disk must generate new names for these components. The names that it will generate are based on a comparison of the original base cluster name and its new name, along with a comparison of the original base cluster name and the original component name. CA Disk will be able to generate a much cleaner new name for its associated components if the new name is specified for a cluster either:

1. Has only the first two node names changed, with the remainder of the new name the same:
   • Original name = LABS.TJP.PMRFILE
   • New base name = LABS.TJP2.PMRFILE
2. Has only a suffix added to the original base cluster name:
   • Original name = LABS.TJP.PMRFILE
   • New base name = LABS.TJP.PMRFILE.TESTFILE

If the new name generated by CA Disk is unsatisfactory, you can assign your own new name. See the section RESTORE Examples in the chapter "Examples" for details.
