Directory Migration Tool (DIRMIG)
DIRMIG migrates the MPE V/E operating environment to MPE/iX. The
operating environment includes:
* System tables information
* Global Resource Identification Numbers (RINs)
* User-logging identifiers
* Directory structure/user files
* UDC environment
* Private volume information
DIRMIG uses an MPE V/E SYSDUMP tape as input.
DIRMIG is menu-driven and provides the user with an interactive means of
selecting any combination of MPE V/E components to migrate:
* Global RINs
* User-logging identifiers
* The directory, including UDC/user files
* Private volume information
DIRMIG features partial directory migration and the choice of overriding
or not overriding existing directory information on the MPE/iX system
with MPE V/E directory information, if accounts conflict. This permits
directory and UDC information from multiple MPE V/E systems to be merged
on one MPE/iX system.
DIRMIG also has the ability to detect MPE V/E directory corruption.
DIRMIG restores user files with the KEEP option specified. This prevents
the user from restoring over files installed from the MPE/iX installation
tape. The user has the option of choosing which file sets to restore. A
log file, DIRLOGnn.PUB.SYS, is created each time DIRMIG is run, to track
the progress of migration. The logging facility records the migration
status of each component and provides detailed information in the event
that any errors occur.
To assist with private volume migration, DIRMIG creates three other
files: PVASSIST.PUB.SYS, PVSUMARY.PUB.SYS, and VOLUTIL command files as
specified by the user. PVASSIST contains private volume information for
the accounts DIRMIG migrates. PVSUMARY is a VOLUTIL command file
generated from all the information contained in PVASSIST to initialize
media with MPE V/E directory information. The volume utility,
VOLUTIL.PUB.SYS, allows the user to create, modify, and delete volumes in
MPE/iX. Refer to Appendix G, "Using the Directory Migration Tool" for
details on completing private volume migration using both DIRMIG and
VOLUTIL. Refer to Volume Management (32650-90045) for complete
documentation on VOLUTIL.
PVSUMARY must be modified to make it usable by VOLUTIL and the VOLUTIL
command files. The user must:
* Provide logical device information for media initialization.
* Modify member and class information for volume sets, if any
changes are desired.
* Delete/modify spanning information.
These modifications can be made using any HP 3000 standard text editor,
such as EDIT/V.
To use DIRMIG:
1. Log on as MANAGER.SYS,PUB.
2. Mount the MPE V/E SYSDUMP tape.
3. Enter :RUN DIRMIG.PUB.SYS.
The main menu offers several options:
* Complete migration with no dialog
* Complete migration with dialog
* Migration of global RINs
* Migration of user-logging IDs
* Directory migration
* Private volume environment migration
The dialog option of complete migration displays more detailed menus at
each step of the process. These detailed menus allow the user to
continue without migrating a particular component, to display information
from the MPE V/E SYSDUMP tape, and to use the HELP feature.
The step-by-step procedure for using DIRMIG is located in Appendix G,
"Using the Directory Migration Tool". Appendix G also contains detailed
procedures for using the MPE/iX VOLUTIL utility to complete private
volume migration.
