Saving and Converting Objects

Running Business Continuity Manager data objects exist as REXX variable structures. For details
about these data objects, see
Business Continuity Manager data objects that are not running exist as XML format files
(Configuration files) in disks. For details about the XML format, see
(page 303).
NOTE: When data objects are saved, HP XP24000 Disk Array is written as USPV in the file.
Conversion from the configuration files to the REXX variables is executed by the YKLOAD command.
Conversion from the REXX variables to the configuration files is executed by the YKSTORE command.
Executing the YKLOAD command converts the configuration files to REXX variables. Executing the
YKSTORE command converts the REXX variables to the configuration files.
In Business Continuity Manager, configuration file names to be saved in the disks should conform
to the following naming rules:
The name of a copy group definition file:
prefix.GRP.copy-group-id
The name of a disk configuration definition file:
prefix.DSK.SNnnnnn.dad-id
where nnnnn is the storage system serial number and dad-id is the ID of the device address
domain where the storage system is found.
The name of a route list definition file:
prefix.ROUTE.route-list-id
The name of a command device definition file:
prefix.CDEV.dad-id
The name of a path set definition file:
prefix.PATH.path-set-id
NOTE: In the scope of the copy group, the prefix of the file names should be same.
