Making Restored Minidisks Available to Users

You can make the newly restored minidisks available to the users in one of two ways:

• By using the format/allocate program to change the label on the restored volume to that of the original volume. In the example in Method 2, this means changing VMPK99 to VMPK33. Detach the original volume, VMPK33; detach the new volume, VMPK99; then reattach this new volume as VMPK33.
• By updating the CP directory to reflect the location of the restored minidisks on the new volume by changing each MDISK statement that specifies the original volume, VMPK33, to specify the new volume, VMPK99.

  For example, these are the current directory entries:

  USER JOE ******** 3M 4M G 64 
  MDISK 191 3380 10 101 VMPK33 MR ********
  USER FRED ******** 3M 16M BEG 64 
  MDISK 191 3380 201 50 VMPK33 MR ******** 
  MDISK 192 3380 251 70 VMPK33 MR ********
  

  To complete the task, change these directory entries to the following:

  USER JOE ******** 3M 4M G 64 
  MDISK 191 3380 10 101 VMPK99 MR ********
  USER FRED ******** 3M 16M BEG 64 
  MDISK 191 3380 201 50 VMPK99 MR ******** 
  MDISK 192 3380 251 70 VMPK99 MR ********
