You can override the default settings in the recovery plan file.
About this task
The following table describes how to set defaults for the disaster recovery plan file.
| Process | Default |
|---|---|
| Primary storage pools to be processed | When the recovery plan file is generated, you can limit processing to specified pools. The recovery plan file will not include recovery information and commands for storage pools with a data format of NETAPPDUMP. The default at installation: All primary storage pools. To change the default: SET DRMPRIMSTGPOOL For example, to specify that only the primary
storage pools named PRIM1 and PRIM2 are to be processed, enter:
Note: To
remove all previously specified primary storage pool names and thus
select all primary storage pools for processing, specify a null string
("") in SET DRMPRIMSTGPOOL.
To override the default: Specify primary storage pool names in the PREPARE command |
| Copy storage pools to be processed | When the recovery plan file is generated, you can limit processing to specified pools. The default at installation: All copy storage pools. To change the default: SET DRMCOPYSTGPOOL For example, to specify that only the copy
storage pools named COPY1 and COPY2 are to be processed, enter:
To override the default: Specify copy storage pool names in the PREPARE command |
| Active-data pools to be processed | When the recovery plan file is generated, you can limit processing to specified pools. The default at installation: None To specify the default: SET DRMACTIVEDATASTGPOOL For example,
to specify that only the active-data pools named ACTIVEPOOL1 and ACTIVEPOOL2
are to be processed, enter:
To remove any specified active-data pool names, specify a null string ("") in SET DRMACTIVEDATASTGPOOL. Active-data pool volumes in MOUNTABLE state are processed only if you specify the active-data pools using the SET DRMACTIVEDATASTGPOOL command or the ACTIVEDATASTGPOOL parameter on the MOVE DRMEDIA, QUERY DRMEDIA, and PREPARE commands. Processing of active-data pool volumes in MOUNTABLE state is different than the processing of copy storage pool volumes in MOUNTABLE state. All MOUNTABLE copy storage pool volumes are processed regardless whether you specify copy storage pools with either the SET DRMCOPYSTGPOOL command or the COPYSTGPOOL parameter. If you do not issue the
SET DRMACTIVEDATASTGPOOL command or if you use this command to remove
the names of all active-data storage pools, the Tivoli® Storage
Manager server processes
active-data pool volumes specified using the ACTIVEDATASTGPOOL parameter:
To override the default: Specify active-data pool names using the MOVE DRMEDIA, QUERY DRMEDIA, or PREPARE command. |
| Identifier for replacement volume names | To restore a primary storage pool volume,
mark the original
volume destroyed and create a replacement volume having a unique
name. You can specify a character to be appended to the name of the
original volume in order to create a name for the replacement volume.
This character can help you find the replacement volume names in the
disaster recovery plan. The default identifier at installation: @ To change the default: SET DRMPLANVPOSTFIX For example,
to use the character r, enter:
|
| Recovery instructions prefix | You can specify a prefix for the names of the recovery
instructions
source files in the recovery plan file.  Attention: The recovery instructions files must be created on
a file system that supports long file names.The default at installation: For a description of how DRM determines the default prefix, see the INSTRPREFIX parameter of the PREPARE command section in the Administrator's Reference or enter HELP PREPARE from administrative client command line. To set a default: SET DRMINSTRPREFIX For example, to
specify the prefix, enter:
    The disaster recovery
plan file will include, for example, the following file:
To override the default: The INSTRPREFIX parameter with the PREPARE command |
| Prefix for the recovery plan file | You can specify a prefix to the path
name of the recovery
plan file. DRM uses
this prefix to identify the location of the recovery plan file and
to generate the macros and script file names included in the RECOVERY.SCRIPT.DISASTER.RECOVERY.MODE
and RECOVERY.SCRIPT.NORMAL.MODE stanzas.
The default at installation: For a description of how DRM determines the default prefix, see the PLANPREFIX parameter of the PREPARE command section in the Administrator's Reference or enter HELP PREPARE from administrative client command line. To change the default: SET DRMPLANPREFIX For example,
to specify the prefix, enter the following command:
The disaster recovery plan
file name created by PREPARE processing will be in the following format:
To override the default: The PLANPREFIX parameter with the PREPARE command |
| The disaster recovery plan expiration period | You can set the numbers of
days after creation that a disaster
recovery plan file stored on a target server expires. After the number
of days has elapsed, all recovery plan files that meet both of the
following conditions are eligible for expiration:
The default at installation: 60 days To change the default: SET DRMRPFEXPIREDAYS For example,
to change the time to 90 days, enter:
