Managing the AMASS File System

Limitations

The following limitations apply to the export process:

•Hard links and soft links are not exported. If the volume group being exported contains these file types, a warning message appears, but the export continues.

•Only volumes formatted with AMASS Version 4.7.1 and later can be exported.

•Run only one vgexport or vgimport on the system at a time.

Name Contention

HP-UX only: Because AMASS and HP-UX both have a vgexport command, make sure you use the full path to differentiate which command you want to use. For example, to use the AMASS command, enter it as shown in the following example:

#su root

#cd /usr/amass/bin

#./vgexport

Or, make sure your PATH variable has /usr/amass/bin before the HP-UX /usr/sbin/vgexport.

Options

/usr/amass/bin

./vgexport
