21 B<vos convertROtoRW> converts a Read-Only volume into a Read/Write volume
22 when the original Read/Write volume is no longer available. It's normal use
23 is to recover the Read/Write volume from a replica after a failed disk,
24 failed server, or accidental deletion.
28 This command can only be used with namei AFS file servers. If used on an
29 inode AFS file server (normally found only on Solaris or AIX systems), it
30 will fail with an error.
32 The command name is case-sensitive. It must be issued with the capital "RO"
39 =item B<-server> <I<server name>>
41 Identifies the file server machine that houses the Read-Only volume which
42 will be converted. Provide the machine's IP address or its host name
43 (either fully qualified or using an unambiguous abbreviation). For details,
46 =item B<-partition> <I<partition name>>
48 Identifies the partition on the file server machine that houses the
49 Read-Only volume which will be converted. Provide the full partition name
50 (for, example, B</vicepa>) or one of the abbreviated forms described in
53 =item B<-id> <I<volume ID>>
55 Specifies either the complete name or volume ID number of a Read/Write
60 Don't ask for confirmation.
62 =item B<-cell> <I<cell name>>
64 Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument
65 with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see L<vos(1)>.
69 Assigns the unprivileged identity C<anonymous> to the issuer. Do not
70 combine this flag with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see
75 Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
76 F</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> file. The B<vos> command interpreter presents it
77 to the Volume Server and Volume Location Server during mutual
78 authentication. Do not combine this flag with the B<-cell> argument or
79 B<-noauth> flag. For more details, see L<vos(1)>.
83 Produces on the standard output stream a detailed trace of the command's
84 execution. If this argument is omitted, only warnings and error messages
89 Encrypts the command so that the operation's results are not transmitted
90 across the network in clear text.

101 The following example converts the read-only volume test3.readonly in
102 partition vicepb on server1 to a read-write volume:
104 % vos convertROtoRW server1 b test3.readonly
106 =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
108 The issuer must be listed in the F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file on the
109 machines specified with the B<-toserver> and B<-fromserver> arguments and
110 on each database server machine. If the B<-localauth> flag is included,
111 the issuer must instead be logged on to a server machine as the local
