NAME
       switchlog - moves an AdvFS file domain transaction log

SYNOPSIS
       /sbin/advfs/switchlog domain_name vol_id

OPERANDS
       Specifies the name of an existing file domain.  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 multivolume 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  dis-
       plays next to the volume that contains the log. The showfdmn command also displays all of the volumes and their volume numbers.

RESTRICTIONS
       You must be the root user to use this command.

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.  # /sbin/showfdmn domain_eng
