Migrating from SLS/MDMS V2.X <strong>to</strong> ABS/MDMS V4.X<br />

B.2 SLS/MDMS V2.x <strong>to</strong> ABS/MDMS V4.x Migration<br />

B.2.6 Converting MDMS V4.x <strong>to</strong> a V2.x Volume Database<br />

This section describes how <strong>to</strong> convert back the ABS/MDMS V4.x volume database <strong>to</strong><br />

SLS/MDMS V2.x volume database.<br />

For some reason, you need <strong>to</strong> convert back <strong>to</strong> SLS/MDMS V2.x, a conversion command procedure<br />

is provided <strong>to</strong> do the conversion. The conversion procedure converts back only the volume<br />

database. If you have added new objects after the conversion, you need <strong>to</strong> add these objects back<br />

<strong>to</strong> TAPESTART.COM manually or <strong>to</strong> the following SLS/MDMS V2.x database files:<br />

• Database authorization file (VALIDATE.DAT)<br />

• Pool Authorization file (POOLAUTH.DAT)<br />

• Slot Definition file (SLOTMAST.DAT)<br />

• Volume Database file (TAPEMAST.DAT)<br />

• Magazine Database file (SLS$MAGAZINE_MASTER_FILE.DAT)<br />

To execute the conversion command procedure, type the following command at the DCL prompt<br />

(this command procedure is copied <strong>to</strong> MDMS$ROOT:[SYSTEM] during the ABS/MDMS<br />

installation):<br />

$ @MDMS$SYSTEM:MDMS$CONVERT_V4_TO_V2<br />

This is also an interactive command procedure that provides introduction <strong>to</strong> the conversion and<br />

also guides you through the conversion. The conversion procedure prompts you <strong>to</strong> provide particular<br />

inputs based on which you are provided the required in<strong>for</strong>mation and also the intended<br />

output. The intended output here will be the conversion of volume database from MDMS V4 <strong>to</strong><br />

MDMS V2 environment.<br />
