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.
