How can volumes be excluded from the DTOC scan?

Environment

Vantage

Resolution

Exclude volumes via the EXCL= in section START-DTOCVEXC-VOL of the INCLEXCL parmlib member to exclude them only from the DTOC scan, or in section START-EXCLUDE-VOL to exclude them from all processing.

One can use either the 'Host Configurations' menu of the Web Client (Vantage Storage Point) to make these changes, or one can do it manually by adding EXCL= statements in the INCLEXCL parmlib member.

Sample:

Exclude all volumes starting with prefix ABC: 

EXCL=ABC/ 

or list each volume to be excluded: 

EXCL=ABC001 

EXCL=ABC002 

EXCL=ABC003

... 

After manually changing INCLEXCL, refresh the Vantage task using the command /F sams,REFRESH,INCLEXCL.
