Figure 69 Relationship between Non Gen'ed DAD ID and DAD ID in an NG Scan
NOTE: When using device address domain IDs:
•
Use the same DAD ID for volumes that are directly accessible. Business Continuity Manager
assumes that volumes are directly accessible if they have the same DAD ID as the DAD ID
specified in the Set Defaults panel.
•
For Business Copy Z, specify the same device address domain ID for both P-VOL and S-VOL.
However, if you want to define a copy pair composed of a Non Gen'ed volume and a Gen'ed
volume in the same storage system, specify a Non Gen'ed device address domain ID for an
NG scan and a device address domain ID for a local scan.
Setting a prefix for configuration files
Business Continuity Manager uses configuration files to manage settings necessary for operations.
You can specify a prefix for the files from the Set Defaults panel. Use the same prefix for each
operational unit. Therefore, specify the same prefix for the primary site and any other sites that
are within the same operational environment.
NOTE: Business Continuity Manager cannot read the copy group definition files created by using
the Mainframe Agent YKP2A command for a PPRC copy pair. Therefore specifying the Configuration
File Prefix in the Set Defaults ISPF panel using the prefix for copy group definition file created by
this command results in an error in the Scan Copy Pair Inside Storage System panel or Manage
Copy Groups panel. If mainframe agent has been used to create configuration files, specify a
different prefix in the Set Defaults ISPF panel.
If you install and use Business Continuity Manager on the same system where Tiered Storage
Manager for Mainframe is installed, make sure that the prefixes for Business Continuity Manager
and Tiered Storage Manager for Mainframe have different character strings. If the same prefix is
used for Business Continuity Manager and Tiered Storage Manager for Mainframe, the products
might not work properly.
Creating configuration files
After a device address domain ID and prefix have been specified in the ISPF panel, create the
configuration files.
Overview of configuration files
When you perform a device scan or define a logical path, route list, or copy group from the ISPF
panel, the resulting information is stored in a configuration file. If you change a definition from the
