Moving Minidisks or Changing Minidisk Information

CA VM:Director gives you three commands to move minidisks or change minidisk information. Each has advantages in different situations.

Method

Advantages

CHGMDISK command (line‑mode)

No prompts. You enter all information in one command, making CHGMDISK useful for moving minidisks and changing minidisk information through programming applications.

MAINT command (line‑mode)

Usually faster than full‑screen methods. You enter new minidisk attributes, such as their locations, one at a time in response to screen prompts but without waiting for full screens to change.

MANAGE command (full‑screen)

Usually the easiest method for moving minidisks or changing information. You follow the instructions on the screens to specify the appropriate information.

You can manage the CA VM:Director minidisks the same way you manage other user’s minidisks; all these methods are valid on them.
