Appendix C – Processes on Pre 8.5.x.x Systems

Management Class Definition

Begin by selecting the Manage Constructs menu from the Administer VTS x (where x is the TS7700
you are using) menu. Then select Management Classes. The figure below shows the Management
Classes panel.
Note: In a Grid configuration that is to be used with copy export, just one of the TS7700 should be set
up with a management class defined to create a second copy of the data that will be exported.
Note: If there is more than one TS7700 or VTS installed in the library, the relationship of the
management class construct name to a secondary pool number applies to both TS7700s/VTSs.
 To add a management class:
1. Enter a one to eight-character alphanumeric name in the Name field. The name must be
unique within the management class construct names defined for the library. In this example,
a definition for management class MCPRIATL is being added.
2. Select a Secondary Pool. A secondary pool can be associated with more than one
management class name, but that is not recommended if the secondary pool is to be used for
copy export. In this example, pool 9 is being specified,
3. Enter a short description in the Description field.
4. If this is a grid configuration, enter Copy Consistency PointsActions for the TS7700s
attached to the Library Manager. Refer to the IBM® Virtualization Engine TS7700 Series
Best Practices - Copy Consistency Points whitepaper (WP101230) on Techdocs for a
description of Copy Consistency PointsActions.
5. Select Add/Modify
 To modify a management class, select from the list of current management classes listed. Click on
the management class you want to modify. Make modifications to the secondary pool, other
attributes and/or description. Select the Add/Modify button.
 To delete a management class, select from the list of current management classes listed. Click on
the management class you want to delete. Select the Delete button.
