Renaming devices

The manifest file contains the device paths as known to the Adaptive Server that created the manifest file. If the mounting Adaptive Server accesses the devices with a different path, you can specify the new path to the mount command.

  1. Use the mount command with listonly to get the old path:

    1> mount database all from “/work2/Mpubs_file” with listonly
    2> go
    
    “/work2/Devices/pubsdat.dat” = “pubs2dat”
    
  2. If the new path for the device pubs2dat is /work2/Devices/pubsdevice.dat, specify the new device in the mount command:

    mount database all from “/work2/Mpubs_file” using “work2/datadevices/pubsdevice.dat” = “pubs2dat”
