VM:Backup for z/VMVM:Backup High-Speed Disaster Recovery Option (HiDRO)
Issue/Introduction
How is each backup event defined and controlled ?
Environment
Release: Component: HIDRO
Resolution
From your description, it sounds like you need to exclude some minidisks or DASD from the backups.
You can modify a HiDRO base backup to exclude user IDs on a particular DASD volume.
To do that, you will need to exclude these IDs in your base backup's SELECT file (example: WEEKLY SELECT that resides on SYBMON's 191).
There should be a corresponding WEEKLY CMDCTL file as well.
So, logon to SYBMON.
Select PF5 Define/Change Backups
In the SELECT file, add the E userid vaddr
It will pull up a screen that looks like this (for WEEKLY):
Backup Name : WEEKLY
Backup type : BASE Incremental Type : Physical Pool : SCRATCH
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | . WEEKLY CMDCTL A controls how the disks are backed up. | | . WEEKLY SFSCTL A controls how the SFS objects are backed up. | | | | . WEEKLY SELECT A controls which disks and SFS objects are | | backed up. | | | | Hit PF4 to generate a sample jobstream based on the control files | | | | . WEEKLY SYSIN A the sample jobstream generated. | |
Review your other backups, DAILY, WEEKLY and MONTHLY as you will likely need to exclude the same dasd and or minidisks in those jobs as well.
