The mount and unmount commands make it easier to move or copy databases. You can move or copy a database from one Adaptive Server to another without restarting the server (as opposed to dump and load database which copies the database to tape or disk). You can move or copy more than one database at a time using the mount and unmount commands.
You can also use these commands to physically move the devices and then reactivate the databases.
See Chapter 7, “Database Mount and Unmount.”
WARNING! Direct mapping to a login name is not maintained within a database in Adaptive Server. This means that, for every login allowed access to a database on the original Adaptive Server, a corresponding login for the same suid must exist at the destination Adaptive Server.
For permissions and protections to remain unchanged, the login maps at the secondary Adaptive Server must be identical to the files on the first Adaptive Server.
