PRECOVER (PPRC recover data on the recovery system)

Use request type PRECOVER to recover data on the recovery system. This invokes ANTRQST ILK=PPRC REQUEST=PRECOVER.

DEVN(devn)
Specifies the hexadecimal device number to be used for I/O. It is required. This device number must identify a CKD device defined to the host system that is making the request.
PCCA(pcca)
Specifies the hexadecimal channel connection address (CKD device CCA) or logical unit number (fixed block device LUN) of the primary device. It is required.
PLSS(plss)
Specifies the hexadecimal logical subsystem number (LSS) within the primary storage subsystem. PLSS is required for storage subsystems with logical subsystems and is invalid for 3990 and other 3990-compatible storage controls.
PSERIAL(pserial)
Specifies the EBCDIC serial number of the primary storage control. It is required.
PSSID(pssid )
Specifies the hexadecimal subsystem identifier (SSID) of the primary storage control. It is required.
SCCA(scca)
Specifies the hexadecimal channel connection address (CKD device CCA) or logical unit number (fixed block device LUN) of the secondary device. It is required.
SLSS(slss)
Specifies the hexadecimal logical subsystem number (LSS) within the secondary storage subsystem. SLSS is required for storage subsystems with logical subsystems and is invalid for 3990 and other 3990-compatible storage controls.
SSERIAL(sserial)
Specifies the EBCDIC serial number of the secondary storage control. It is required.
SSSID(sssid)
Specifies the hexadecimal subsystem identifier (SSID) of the secondary storage control. It is required.
OPENDVCS(NO | YES)
Indicates if the request is for Open System (fixed block) devices.
NO
The device specified with DEVN, as well as the primary and secondary devices, are CKD devices. This is the default.
YES
The values supplied for the primary and secondary devices (SSID, Serial, LSS and LUN) apply to Open Systems devices and not to the CKD DEVN device. The DEVN parameter identifies a CKD device used for receiving the request.
OLDVOLSER(oldvolser)
Specifies the old volume serial number. PPRC verifies the OLDVOLSER contains characters and compares the device volume serial number to the OLDVOLSER value. If the volume serial numbers are equal, PPRC resets the volume to simplex state. OLDVOLSER is required if you specify NEWVOLSER.
NEWVOLSER(newvolser)
Specifies the new volume serial number. If you specify NEWVOLSER, you must specify OLDVOLSER. PPRC verifies the OLDVOLSER contains characters and compares the device volume serial number to the OLDVOLSER value. If the volume serial numbers are equal, PPRC resets the volume to simplex state and replaces the old volume serial number with the new volume serial number.
WAITTIME(waittime | 0)
Specifies the number of seconds that SDM must wait for a request to complete. A value of zero specifies that the request should not be timed. Valid values are 0 through 65535. The default is 0.
SUBCHSET(subchset | 0)
Specifies the subchannel set in which the command is to be issued. The subchannel set where the I/O will be issued is the subchannel set as defined in the Hardware Configuration Dialog (HCD). The valid values are determined by what is supported by the host system's processor and configured for the device.

If you omit the parameter, the command is issued to the device that is logically in subchannel set 0. If a swap has occurred, this could be the device that was defined in an alternate subchannel set in the I/O configuration (IODF), with HCD.
