switchlog(8)
NAME
  switchlog - moves an AdvFS file domain transaction log

SYNOPSIS
  /sbin/advfs/switchlog domain_name  vol_id


  domain_name
	 Specifies the name of an existing file domain.

  vol_id Specifies the number of the new volume to use for the log.

DESCRIPTION
  The switchlog command relocates the transaction log of the specified file
  domain to a different volume in the same file domain.	 Moving the
  transaction log within a multi-volume file domain is typically done to
  place the log on either a faster, less congested, or mirrored volume.

  Use the showfdmn(8) command to determine the current location of the
  transaction log. In the showfdmn command display, the letter L displays
  next to the volume that contains the log. The showfdmn command also
  displays all of the volumes and their volume numbers.

RESTRICTIONS
  You must have root-user privilege to execute this command.

  In order create a multivolume file domain, you must purchase and install
  the POLYCENTER Advanced File System Utilities layered product.

EXAMPLES
  The following example displays the log's current location by using the
  showfdmn command and then moves it to volume 2 by using the switchlog
  command.
