Chapter 4. IXFP/SnapShot for VSE/ESA

IXFP/SnapShot for VSE/ESA is a combination of software and RVA microcode functions. It has three main functions, namely, SnapShot, DDSR, and Report. SnapShot is the data duplication utility that exploits the RVAs virtual disk architecture to achieve instantaneous copy without actually using resources. DDSR releases space occupied by a volume, a cylinder range, and a specified data set. The report functions provide information about the space utilization and subsystem utilization summary of the RVA.

A new attention routine ($IJBIXFP) has been provided in VSE. You invoke IXFP/SnapShot for VSE/ESA functions through the attention routine in three basic ways:

1. From a console

You enter the IXFP/SnapShot for VSE/ESA functions on the command line of the VSE operator console or through the interactive computing and control facility (ICCF) console operator interface.

Note: Make sure that you are authorized to enter operator commands when using the ICCF console operator interface.

Figure 6 illustrates invoking IXFP REPORT functions directly from the operator console.
