Example volume scan procedure
Types of volume scans
Replication Manager uses one of three available scanning methods to discover mainframe volumes:
This method discovers volumes recognized by the mainframe host within a specified
DEVN/VOLSER range. Local scan
(Gen'ed)
This method discovers volumes within a specified storage system and LDEV range. As a
prerequisite, a local scan (Gen'ed) must be performed on the scan target storage system.
This method discovers volumes even if the mainframe host does not recognize them.
Local scan (Non
Gen'ed)
This method discovers volumes within a specified storage system and LDEV range and
requires configuration of the route list and CMD devices on the scan target storage system.
This method discovers remote volumes even if BCM does not exist on the site.
Remote scan
Replication Manager prioritizes the scan type used for discovery of the volumes in the following order:
• Local scan (Gen'ed)
• Local scan (Non Gen'ed)
• Remote scan
