NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       switchlog - moves an AdvFS file domain transaction log

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       /sbin/advfs/switchlog domain_name vol_id

OPERANDS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Specifies  the name of an existing file domain.  Specifies
       the number of the new volume to use for the log.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The switchlog command relocates the transaction log of the
       specified  file  domain  to a different volume in the same
       file domain.  Moving the transaction log within  a  multivolume
  file  domain is typically done to place the log on
       either a faster, less congested, or mirrored volume.

       Use the showfdmn(8) command to determine the current location
  of the transaction log. In the showfdmn command display,
 the letter L displays next to the volume  that  contains
  the  log. The showfdmn command also displays all of
       the volumes and their volume numbers.

RESTRICTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]

       The following example displays the log's current  location
       by  using the showfdmn command and then moves it to volume
       2  by  using  the  switchlog  command.   #  /sbin/showfdmn
