Creating Configuration File Datasets

Before doing anything else, you must first create datasets for the following configuration files, which
are created in P9000 Replication Manager. You must then catalog the created datasets.
Disk configuration definition file
Copy group definition file
The following indicates the time at which each configuration file is created.
Disk configuration definition file: When a device is scanned, such as when a local scan, NG
scan, or remote scan is performed
Copy group definition file: When a copy group is defined
Configuration file dataset names
The following lists the naming convention for each dataset:
Disk configuration definition file name:
prefix.DSK.SNnnnnn.DAD-ID
Copy group definition file name:
prefix.GRP.copy-group-ID
The values that can be specified for each variable are explained below. The values specified for
prefix and DAD-ID must be the same as the value specified for the Business Continuity Manager
agent initialization parameter PREFIX.
Prefix: Prefix of the configuration file
Specify a string of 25 characters or fewer that consists of one string or multiple substrings
joined together by periods. Only upper-case letters and numbers can be used. Note that the
string or each substring must begin with an upper-case letter, and consist of 1 to 8 characters.
copy-group-ID
Specify a string or multiple substrings joined together by periods. Upper-case letters, numbers,
and special characters ($, #, and @) can be used. Note that the string or each substring must
begin with an upper-case letter or special character, and consist of 1 to 8 characters.
Maximum specifiable length = 44 - (5 + prefix-length)
nnnnn: Serial number of the scanned storage system
DAD-ID: DAD ID Device address domain of the scanned storage system
The following values can be specified:
◦ When creating for a local scan: Device address domain ID of the local site
◦ When creating for an NG scan: Non Gen'ed device address domain ID
When creating for a remote scan: Device address domain ID of the remote site
◦
Specify a string or multiple substrings joined together by periods. Upper-case letters, numbers,
and special characters ($, #, and @) can be used. Note that the string or each substring must
begin with an upper-case letter or special character, and consist of 1 to 8 characters.
Maximum specifiable length = 44 - (13 + prefix-length)
