<h1 class="topictitle1">Converting an Optical *BACKUP Volume</h1>
<div><p>Use the Convert Optical Backup (CVTOPTBKU) command to convert an
optical *BACKUP volume to an optical *PRIMARY volume.</p>
<p>You would typically use this function when the *PRIMARY optical volume
is either damaged or missing. The conversion eliminates the necessity of copying
all information from the optical *BACKUP volume to a new *PRIMARY volume.
After the system converts the volume to a *PRIMARY volume, it will allow all
write requests to the volume.</p>
<p>Once the system converts an optical *BACKUP volume to a *PRIMARY volume,
there is no way to convert it back to an optical *BACKUP volume. To convert
backup volumes, select option 6 (Convert optical backup volume) from the Optical
Backup/Recovery display or use the CVTOPTBKU CL command.</p>
<p>Before you attempt to convert, you should verify the name of the *PRIMARY
volume for which this volume is a backup. You can do this by displaying the
volume attributes of the optical *BACKUP volume. You can do this by using
the Display Optical Volume Attributes (DSPOPT) command or by selecting option
5 (Display) from the Work with Volumes display.</p>
<p>There may be previously deleted *PRIMARY volume directories
and files on the optical *BACKUP volume. Therefore, when converting the optical
*BACKUP volume to a *PRIMARY volume, it might be necessary to manually delete
directories and files from the volume. You perform this function in order
to accurately reflect what was on the *PRIMARY volume. If you never delete
directories and files from a *PRIMARY volume, this should not be a concern.</p>
