Specifying which volumes are dumped automatically

As with volumes to be backed up, you must identify the non-SMS-managed volumes to be dumped automatically. With the same command, you specify the dump classes to which the volume is to be dumped. If multiple DFSMShsm hosts are requested to process automatic dump, only the first host to process a given volume performs the function. However, should you find it necessary to limit processing of certain volumes to one host, you can do so by:

Specifying the AUTODUMP parameter on the ADDVOL command in the host you want to perform automatic dump on the volume
Specifying the NOAUTODUMP parameter on the ADDVOL command in the hosts you do not want to perform automatic dump on the volume

See Figure 2 for the example system to which the volumes are added. You can add the following commands to the ARCCMDxx member for DFSMShsm host 2:

   ADDVOL GP0001 UNIT(3390) PRIMARY(AUTODUMP -
     (ONEWEEK,TWOWEEK))
   ADDVOL GP0002 UNIT(3390) PRIMARY(AUTODUMP -
     (ONEWEEK,TWOWEEK))
   ADDVOL GP0003 UNIT(3390) PRIMARY(AUTODUMP -
     (ONEWEEK,TWOWEEK))
   ADDVOL UG1001 UNIT(3390) PRIMARY(AUTODUMP -
     (ONEWEEK,TWOWEEK))
   ADDVOL UG1002 UNIT(3390) PRIMARY(AUTODUMP -
     (ONEWEEK,TWOWEEK))
   ADDVOL UG1003 UNIT(3390) PRIMARY(AUTODUMP -
     (ONEWEEK,TWOWEEK))
   ADDVOL UG2001 UNIT(3390) PRIMARY(AUTODUMP -
     (ONEWEEK,TWOWEEK))
   ADDVOL UG2002 UNIT(3390) PRIMARY(AUTODUMP -
     (ONEWEEK,TWOWEEK))
   ADDVOL UG2003 UNIT(3390) PRIMARY(AUTODUMP -
     (ONEWEEK,TWOWEEK))
   ADDVOL VP0001 UNIT(3390) PRIMARY(AUTODUMP -
     (ONEWEEK,FOURWEEK))
   ADDVOL VP0002 UNIT(3390) PRIMARY(AUTODUMP -
     (ONEWEEK,FOURWEEK))
   ADDVOL VP0003 UNIT(3390) PRIMARY(AUTODUMP -
     (ONEWEEK,FOURWEEK))
   ADDVOL ML1001 UNIT(3390) MIGRATION(MIGRATIONLEVEL1 -
     AUTODUMP(ONEWEEK,TWOWEEK))
   ADDVOL ML1002 UNIT(3390) MIGRATION(MIGRATIONLEVEL1 -
     AUTODUMP(ONEWEEK,TWOWEEK))
   ADDVOL ML1003 UNIT(3390) MIGRATION(MIGRATIONLEVEL1 -
     AUTODUMP(ONEWEEK,TWOWEEK))

You can add the following commands to the ARCCMDxx member for DFSMShsm hosts 1 and 3:

   ADDVOL GP0001 UNIT(3390) PRIMARY(NOAUTODUMP)
 
   ADDVOL GP0002 UNIT(3390) PRIMARY(NOAUTODUMP)
 
   ADDVOL GP0003 UNIT(3390) PRIMARY(NOAUTODUMP)
 
   ADDVOL UG1001 UNIT(3390) PRIMARY(NOAUTODUMP)
 
   ADDVOL UG1002 UNIT(3390) PRIMARY(NOAUTODUMP)
 
   ADDVOL UG1003 UNIT(3390) PRIMARY(NOAUTODUMP)
 
   ADDVOL UG2001 UNIT(3390) PRIMARY(NOAUTODUMP)
 
   ADDVOL UG2002 UNIT(3390) PRIMARY(NOAUTODUMP)
 
   ADDVOL UG2003 UNIT(3390) PRIMARY(NOAUTODUMP)
 
   ADDVOL VP0001 UNIT(3390) PRIMARY(NOAUTODUMP)
 
   ADDVOL VP0002 UNIT(3390) PRIMARY(NOAUTODUMP)
 
   ADDVOL VP0003 UNIT(3390) PRIMARY(NOAUTODUMP)
 
   ADDVOL ML1001 UNIT(3390) MIGRATION(MIGRATIONLEVEL1 NOAUTODUMP)

   ADDVOL ML1002 UNIT(3390) MIGRATION(MIGRATIONLEVEL1 NOAUTODUMP)
 
   ADDVOL ML1003 UNIT(3390) MIGRATION(MIGRATIONLEVEL1 NOAUTODUMP)

All volumes except VP0001, VP0002, and VP0003 are dumped in accordance with the specifications for dump classes ONEWEEK and TWOWEEK. VP0001, VP0002, and VP0003 are dumped in accordance with the specifications for dump classes ONEWEEK and FOURWEEK. Notice that the ML1 volumes ML1001, ML1002, and ML1003 have been added to the list of volumes to be dumped. Although automatic backup cannot be performed for migration volumes, automatic dump can be performed for ML1 volumes.
