Tasks for availability management functions<br />

The tasks for controlling automatic availability management <strong>of</strong> SMS-managed storage require<br />

adding DFSMShsm commands to the ARCCMDxx parmlib member and specifying attributes<br />

in the SMS storage classes and management classes. It is assumed that the storage classes<br />

and management classes have already been defined.<br />

The attribute descriptions explain the attributes to be added to the previously defined storage<br />

groups and management classes. Similarly, the descriptions <strong>of</strong> DFSMShsm commands relate<br />

to commands to be added to the ARCCMDxx member <strong>of</strong> SYS1.PARMLIB.<br />

Two groups <strong>of</strong> tasks are performed for availability management: dump tasks and backup<br />

tasks. Availability management comprises the following functions:<br />

► Aggregate backup and recovery (ABARS)<br />

► Automatic physical full-volume dump<br />

► Automatic incremental backup<br />

► Automatic control data set backup<br />

► Command dump and backup<br />

► Command recovery<br />

► Disaster backup<br />

► Expiration <strong>of</strong> backup versions<br />

► Fast replication backup and recovery<br />

Command availability management<br />

Commands cause availability management functions to occur, resulting in the following<br />

conditions:<br />

► One data set to be backed up.<br />

► All changed data sets on a volume to be backed up.<br />

► A volume to be dumped.<br />

► A backed-up data set to be recovered.<br />

► A volume to be restored from a dump and forward recovered from later incremental<br />

backup versions. Forward recovery is a process <strong>of</strong> updating a restored volume by<br />

applying later changes as indicated by the catalog and the incremental backup versions.<br />

► A volume to be restored from a dump copy.<br />

► A volume to be recovered from backup versions.<br />

► A specific data set to be restored from a dump volume.<br />

► All expired backup versions to be deleted.<br />

► A fast replication backup version to be recovered from a copy pool.<br />
