Managing the AMASS File System
3-106 Command Reference 6-00028-01 Rev A
vgexport
Export data and attributes (metadata file) for a volume group to
another AMASS file system.
The metadata file contains the directory structure and media
attributes (such as media type, ownership, and timestamp) for a
volume group. The metadata is part of the File System Database
and is located in /usr/amass/filesysdb. It is exported as
standard ASCII text.
Optional Feature
Disable Volume Verification
As part of the export process, AMASS mounts the volumes
assigned to the volume group and verifies the header on each
media with the volume label found in the File System Database.
If you have, for example, 10 volumes assigned to volume group
124, AMASS mounts all 10 volumes in a drive to read their
header. This can take some time. To speed up the process, you
can use the -q option to skip this step.
Optional Feature
Enable this optional feature with an authorization string obtained
from ADIC. To request a string, refer to the Site-Specific Tasks
chapter in
