Draft
Draft Volume Copy Utility wiki page.
This page captures some references for running VCU. VCU is provided with late model versions on Netware (such as NW6.5SP7), and is a tool for converting TFS ("traditional file system") volumes to NSS volumes, to get the advantages of fast loading, larger volume size, and updated tools. There are a few applications that do not enjoy working with NSS, but for most environments, NSS volumes will be preferred.
As mentioned in TID 10020279, this is not an "in-place" conversion. It requires free disk space for the new NSS partition equal to or greater than the size of the data on the traditional volume being converted. It is a copy utility, not a conversion utility.
Quick Start
VCU is invoked from the Netware console prompt. This screen shot shows the usage information displayed when VCU is invoked without parameters.

Room for Corrections
Looking forward to the sysops' notes on this page.
