2.4.1.2 mftfdvadd command

Syntax

mftfdvadd

device name   client system name   [-s server system name ] [ -p full path device name | -d physical drive name ]   [ -f ]

Overview

The mftfdvadd command is used to add clients or servers to enable them to transfer data transfer volumes initialized by the mftfdvini command.
Also, this command is only available to the root.
A confirmation prompt is always displayed when executing this command. Select [Yes] to execute, or [No] to abort.

---



If this command is executed on a data transfer volume that has not been initialized by the mftfdvini command, an error occurs.

Option

device name

Specify the full path name for the character device name of the data transfer volume.   (required)

For Solaris	:	Specify the special file name (e.g., /dev/rdsk/c1t1d2s2) with the partition number "s2," which refers to the entire volume.
For HP-UX	:	Specify the character device file name (e.g., /dev/rdsk/c1t1d2).
For Linux	:	Specify the character device file name (e.g. /dev/raw/raw2) whose block device name was bound by the raw command.

client system name

Specify the client system name within 15 characters.   (required)
Refer to the "initialization command remarks" regarding the client system name.

-s server system name

Specify the server system name within 15 characters.
Refer to the "initialization command remarks" regarding the server system name.

-p full path device name

If the server system is a UNIX server, specify the device information (i.e., the full path of the device) within 64 characters.
Device information cannot be specified with the -d option.

For Solaris	:	Specify the special file name (e.g., /dev/rdsk/c1t1d2s2) with the partition number "s2," which refers to the entire volume.
For HP-UX	:	Specify the character device file name (e.g., /dev/rdsk/c1t1d2).
For Linux	:	Specify the character device file name (e.g. /dev/raw/raw2) whose block device name was bound by the raw command.

Example: -p /dev/rdsk/c1t2d3s2

-d physical drive name

If the server system is an IA server, specify the device information (i.e., the physical drive name) within 64 characters.
Device information cannot be specified with the -p option.

Example: -d PHYSICALDRIVE2

-f

Specify this to force additional information even when the data transfer volume is in use.
When executing this option during a data transfer, the integrity of the data being transferred cannot be guaranteed.

Return Values

0 is returned when successful.
Otherwise an error message is output and -1 is returned.

Example of Usage/Application

When adding a new UNIX client system (node = unix01) to the "/dev/rdsk/c1t2d3s2" data transfer volume:

mftfdvadd  /dev/rdsk/c1t2d3s2  unix01

When adding a IA server system (computer name = win01) to the "/dev/rdsk/c1t2d3s2" data transfer volume for a declared UNIX client system (node = unix02):

mftfdvadd  /dev/rdsk/c1t2d3s2  unix02  -s win01

When adding a physical drive "PHYSICALDRIVE2" to the declared IA server system (computer name = win02) and the declared UNIX client system (node = unix03) of the "/dev/rdsk/c1t2d3s2" data transfer volume:

mftfdvadd  /dev/rdsk/c1t2d3s2  unix03  -s win02  -d PHYSICALDRIVE2
