[OpenAFS] restoring volumes

[Ron Croonenberg]

btw the 2 servers are not in the same cell.

the old cell is called csc.depauw.edu the new cell is called afs-1.csc.depa=
uw.edu

Let's see.

If the two servers are in the same cell the vos restore will fail -- can't
have 2 instances of a RW volume, and the example you give would leave
homestaff.cowboy as a RW on two different servers.

If the two servers are in different cells then you want to get admin =
tokens
for both cells and use "vos dump .... | vos restore .... -cell <othercell>"=


If you want to replicate the volume within a given cell use "vos addsite "
"vos release"

If you want to replicate the volume within a given cell but want default
access to be to the RW volume, create a RW mount point (fs mkm .... -rw).

Not sure what you're after.  Probably a case I didn't cover :)

     Ahh...ok...
    =20
     Well let me explain what I am trying to do, at least it's=20
     a plan I have.
    =20
     - I want to dump a volume with vos on the old server, let's say
       "homestaff.cowboy"
     - move the dumpfile to the new server
     - restore the dumpfile with vos on the new server to a=20
     volume called
       homestaff.cowboy
    =20
     So maybe I need a bit different approach ?

     Ron,
    =20
     Specify a different value after "-name"
    =20
     The volume will be restored to the specified server and=20
     partition -- as a
     read write volume.
    =20
     The ".backup" volume name extension won't work (it's=20
     reserved) and is
     causing your "restore name" to exceed the 22 char limit.
    =20
     If you want to restore over the existing RW volume put it=20
     on the same server
     and partition, use the same name, and specify -overwrite.
    =20
     Otherwise give it a new name (homestaff.cowboy.R e.g.),=20
     mount it, fix the
     existing volume ... etc.

          Hello,
         =20
          I dumped a volume on an old afs server and try to restore=20
          it on the new server. This is what I see:
         =20
          [root@afs-1 vicepb]# vos restore -server=20
          afs-1.csc.depauw.edu -partition /vicepa -name=20
          homestaff.cowboy.backup -file=20
          /vicepb/homestaff.cowboy.backup -cell afs-1.csc.depauw.edu=20
                                                               =20
              =20
         =20
          vos: the name of the volume homestaff.cowboy.backup=20
          exceeds the size limit
         =20
          Does vos restore create the volume ?  I didn't see the=20
          volume homestaff.cowboy.backup.  There is a volume called=20
          homestaff.cowboy on the new server though.
