move nodedata for virtualfilespaces?

[combato]

Hi Pro's,

I want to move node data from a virtualfilespace to Another virtualfilespace in the same stgpool. The filespaces have TOC files where all index exists for the backups that been made.
I had a look at the "help move nodedata" command but I can't get how this will work.
Is this possible?

ex.
I want to move from:
Virtualfilespace /myfiler_vol1

to:
virtualfilespace /L_myfiler_vol1

Can I do this with "move nodedata" command or with someother command?

/C

You cannot do that. The move nodedate command is to move the data for a given node to different storage volumes either in a the same or different storage pool.

You'd need to do a new backup to the new virtual filespace to get the data there.

ok... then I know... Thanks.
To move the data from the "old" filespace I assume I have to restore all the data and then backup the data once again to the "new" filespace?

OR...
...is there anyway I can change the virtualfs name with some "super" command
I know I can change the filespace name and the path, but it would be really neat to be able to change the virtualfs name...

Oh you could use "RENAME FILESPACE"

Only catch is:

This parameter cannot be an existing virtual file space mapping name. If the current_file_space_name is a virtual file space, the new_file_space_name must follow all the rules for defining a virtual file space name. See the DEFINE VIRTUALFSMAPPING command for more information.

Thanks anyway!
