You restore the RW myvol to fs2:c as myvol.R just fine.

vos rename myvol.R myvol fails with "Already exists"

Let's say that, for example:

myvol has volume id 12340
myvol.R has volume id 12349

'vos rename' just changes the name, not the volume id. So by running
that 'vos rename' command you're saying you want volume id 12349 to have
name 'myvol', but 'myvol' already exists with volume id 12340. That's
the error you're getting.

I was trying to be simple with my explanation, but this detail
is surely too relevant now to leave out: fs1 was brought up
empty post-crash, and vos syncvldb fs1 was run.

There should have been no myvol (or id 12340) in the VLDB when
the 'vos rename' ran, from what I understand.

If you want to restore under the original volume name and id number,
'vos restore' to 'myvol' directly with -name and -id.

Let's say I must restore to myvol.R
