Issue one of the following commands to cause a command dump of
one or more volumes:
BACKVOL VOLUMES(volser,...,volser) DUMP
BACKVOL VOLUMES(volser,...,volser) -
DUMP(DUMPCLASS(class,class,class,class,class))
BACKVOL VOLUMES(volser,...,volser) -
DUMP(DUMPCLASS(class, . . .,class) -
RETENTIONPERIOD(days|*|NOLIMIT, . . .,days|*|NOLIMIT))
For all of the commands, DFSMShsm checks to ensure that SMS is
installed and active in the system. If SMS is installed and active:
- For the first form of the command, the dump operates as explained
in Dump processing.
- For the second form of the command, dump processing is the same
as is described in Dump processing except that the dump classes
specified by the command are used instead of the dump classes specified
by the storage group.
- For the third form of the command, dump processing is the same
as is described in Dump processing except that the
dump classes specified by the command are used instead of the dump
classes specified by the storage group, and the retention periods
specified in the command are used instead of the retention periods
specified by the dump classes.
