Except where noted, the profile parameters in the ACSD section
are independent of the storage device or application.
- ACS_REPOSITORY
- This parameter sets the path to the IBM® Tivoli® Storage FlashCopy® Manager repository.
This directory is used during restore operations and must be in a
secure location. If the repository is lost, all backups are not available.
The
directory that is referenced by the
ACS_REPOSITORY parameter
cannot be in a file system that participates in snapshot backup operations.
If the directory is part of a file system that is used for snapshot
backup operations,
Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager reports
a failure. The
Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager repository
cannot be in the main
Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager directory
that is specified by the
ACS_DIR parameter. Ideally,
the
ACS_REPOSITORY directory is a subdirectory
of the
ACS_DIR directory. For example:
<ACS_DIR>/acsrepository
Before
you configure Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager,
the path to the ACS_REPOSITORY is set, but the
directory does not exist. The ACS_REPOSITORY directory
is created during the configuration process. If the directory specified
for the ACS_REPOSITORY parameter exists, the
setup script, used to configure Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager,
reports an error.
- Default
- There is no default value.
- Advanced mode only
- No.
- ADMIN_ASSISTANT
- In non-SAP environments, this parameter is ignored. If Tivoli Storage Manager for ERP and the
Administration Assistant component are installed, when this parameter
is set, Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager sends
backup and restore information to the Administration Assistant.
- <server> <port>
- Server and port where the Tivoli Storage Manager for ERP Administration
Assistant server component is listening.
- NO
- Do not send data to the Administration Assistant.
- Default
- NO
- Advanced mode only
- Yes.
- REPOSITORY_LABEL
- When this parameter is set, a prefix is added to each volume name
on the IBM XIV® Storage System, IBM System Storage® N series, and NetApp Storage
System. The prefix contains 3 characters in one of the following ranges:
[a-z]
[A-Z]
[0-9]
Note: If the repository label changes, backups that
are created with the prior repository label are excluded from reconciliation.
- Default
- TSM
- Advanced mode only
- Yes.
- SYNCHRONOUS_RECONCILE
- This parameter is used to configure Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager to
synchronously reconcile and delete snapshot backups. If the RESTORE_AND_DELETE option
is specified for this parameter, a delete and restore operation also
starts a synchronous delete and reconcile operation. This process
can be useful for storage systems that can delete snapshot backups
during a Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager snapshot
restore process. Deletion can occur on N series, NetApp, Storwize® V7000, or SAN Volume Controller storage
systems. Also, this process is useful if you manually delete snapshot
backups and use the force option (-f) on DS8000®, SAN Volume Controller, or Storwize V7000 storage
systems.
If the YES option is specified in addition
to the delete and restore operation, a backup operation also starts
a synchronous delete and reconcile process. This process can be useful
for storage systems that delete snapshot backups during a Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager backup
or cloning operation. Deletion can occur on SAN Volume Controller or Storwize V7000 storage
systems. The following list identifies the possible options:
- NO
- Use this option not to start a synchronous delete and reconcile
operation.
- YES
- Use this option to start a synchronous delete and reconcile process
as part of a backup, restore, and delete operation.
- RESTORE_AND_DELETE
- Use this option to start a synchronous delete and reconcile process
as part of a restore and delete operation.
- Default
- RESTORE_AND_DELETE
- Advanced mode only
- YES
