CL Command Reference - CVTOPTBKU
CL Command List > CVTOPTBKU Reference
Description:
The Convert Optical Backup (CVTOPTBKU) command converts an optical backup volume to an optical primary volume. User applications and programs can then write to the converted volume.
Note: Once an optical volume is converted from a backup volume to a primary volume, you must initialize the optical volume to convert it to a backup volume again. Initializing an optical volume results in losing all existing information on the optical volume.
Restriction: To use this command you must have *ALL authority to the authorization list securing the volume to be converted.
Examples:
CVTOPTBKU BKUVOL(VOL01BACKUP) PRIVOL(VOL02)
This command converts the optical backup volume VOL01BACKUP to a primary optical volume. VOL02 is the identifier of the optical volume after it is converted.
