Step 4. copy secondary volumes

You can create a third copy of the volumes by invoking a function such as DFSMSdss to copy the data contents. Then you can copy the volumes to tape or use them for other backup and recovery operations.

At this time, secondary volumes are suspended and offline. To create a copy of the volumes, perform this procedure:

  1. Issue the CRECOVER command to the secondary volumes. This step returns the secondary volumes to SIMPLEX state.
    CRECOVER DEVN(X'0F41') PRIM(X'A763' FCA76 X'6B' X'03') SEC(X'A762' FCA76 X'1E' X'02')
  2. Vary the secondary volumes online.
  3. Use DFSMSdss to copy the secondary volumes.
  4. Go to Step 5. restart your applications.
