Basic ADSM Questions....Please Assist
1998-09-18 10:43:40
Hello All,
We are in the process of "getting ready" to implement ADSM at our
site. Up to this time all of my learning of the product has been
through manuals, so you will have to excuse my "ignorance" if my
questions sound off the wall.
I think I have a pretty good understanding at this point of how ADSM
is supposed to work, but I have a couple of questions involving the
MVS mainframe side of the house.
Here we go: Let's say,for example only, I am going to set up two
storage pools for backup. The PRIMARY pool will be on DASD and the
NEXT pool will be on tape. I plan to periodically flush out the DASD
pool and put that backups to the NEXT storage pool (tape). I will then
at some point make a COPYPOOL to make "backups of the backups" on
tape.
My question/statement is:
1. On the PRIMARY DASD pool: The actual cataloged datasetname that
will be allocated on the DASD is a name and size that I control and
define....correct?
2. On the NEXT tape pool: What will the name of my tapes be ?
We have CA1 tape management and these tapes will be identified through
an exit as being externally managed.
3. On the COPYpool (also tape): What will the names of those tapes be?
I am assuming these will also have to be externally managed via the
exit also.....
4. The purpose of the COPYpool, as I see it, will be to have offsite
copies for disaster recovery. Is this a manual effort to get theses
tapes offsite and then onsite again when the data on the offsite tapes
become invalid ??
Thanks ahead of time for anyone that can help. And, as I stated
earlier, I am a new user to this product. As I build my knowledge
base, my questions should become a little more meaningful.
