Moving a set of one or more databases means physically moving the underlying devices. unmount the databases at the source, it creates the manifest file, and move the devices to the destination Adaptive Server.
At the destination Adaptive Server, mount the database using the manifest file. To activate the database, use the online database command. You need not reboot the destination server.
Use caution during the initial configuration of the source Adaptive Server. The Adaptive Server cannot know if a device is transportable as a unit. Make sure that the underlying disk that is to be disconnected will not cause a database that is not being moved to lose some of its storage. Adaptive Server cannot identify whether a drive is partitioned on a single physical disk; you must move the databases together in one unit.
WARNING! mount and unmount allow you to identify more than one database for a move operation. However, if a device is used for more than one database, then all of the databases must be moved in one operation. You specify the set of databases being transported. The devices used by these databases cannot be shared with any extraneous database besides the ones specified in the command.
