Integrated File System Introduction

Example: Convert all file systems (large number of objects)

System B also has five auxiliary storage pools (ASPs) configured: 1 (the system ASP), 3, 5, 11, and 25. None of the file systems have been converted from *TYPE1 directories to *TYPE2 directories on the system. You would like to convert all of the file systems. The file systems contain a large number of objects, so you plan to perform the conversion steps on two different weekends.
Weekend one:

1.
Put the system in restricted state.
2.
Type RCLSTG SELECT(*ALL) on the command line.
3.
Save the system using the Save menu. Type GO SAVE on the command line, and select option 21.
4.
Take the system out of restricted state.

During the week:

5.
Type CVTDIR OPTION(*ESTIMATE) FILESYS(*ALL) FORMAT(*TYPE2) on the command line.
6.
Check for any error messages from the *ESTIMATE function.
7.
Verify all ASPs have enough available auxiliary storage space.

Weekend two:

8.
Put the system in restricted state
9.
Type CVTDIR OPTION(*CONVERT) FILESYS(*ALL) FORMAT(*TYPE2) on the command line.
When converting all file systems (*ALL), message CPAA084 is displayed and asks you to verify that the listed file systems are to be converted.

10.
Check for any error messages from the *CONVERT function.
11.
Take the system out of restricted state.
