Determining whether a dynamic view on Linux or the UNIX system has remote private storage
Dynamic views on hosts running Linux or the UNIX system may have remote pools, which require special handling when moving the view.
About this task
Before you move a dynamic view on a host running Linux or the UNIX system, determine whether the view has symbolically linked private storage. (Snapshot views do not support symbolically linked view-private storage.) Use the ls command to list the view’s .s directory. For example:
ls –ld /net/mars/viewstg/v5_integration.vws/.s
...
.s -> /public/view_aux/v5_integration
The
symbolic link indicates that the private storage area is remote. If you intend
to use the same storage for the moved view, it must be accessible from the
new view host.
Note: Moving a view does not modify the .view file
in the view storage directory. The information in this file always describes
the view’s first location.
