How You Migrate to a DASD Control File

While CA MIM is executing, you can migrate to any properly formatted DASD control file that is allocated to all systems in your MIMplex. Migration to a DASD control file occurs in one of several ways:

• From a virtual control file to a DASD control file
• From one DASD control file to another DASD control file

You can migrate to a DASD control file.

Follow these steps:

1. View the list of available control files by issuing this command:

   DISPLAY FILES
   

2. Initiate the migration to a specific file by issuing this command:

   MIGRATE CONTROLFILE=nn
   

   nn

   Specifies the control file ID of the DASD control file

You can migrate CA MIM to the next available control file.

Follow this step:

1. Issue the following command:

   MIGRATE CF
   

Note: When you migrate from a virtual control file to a DASD control file, the virtual control file is deactivated automatically.
