administration facility. The backup duplex copy is created at the same time as the backup copy.
Each copy will contain a single
‘A’ copy: | ‘hlq.Gnnnnn’ |
‘B’ copy: | ‘hlq.Bs.Gnnnnn’ |
‘C’ copy: | ‘hlq.Cs.Gnnnnn’ |
‘D’ copy: | ‘hlq.Ds.Gnnnnn’ |
where | ‘hlq’ is the |
| during Archive Manager database definition processing (see |
| “Define Archive Manager databases” on page 27). |
| ‘s’ is the storage level |
and | ‘nnnnn’ is the sequence number of the dataset within the |
| Archive Manager database. |
Objects are always written to storage level 0 when first migrated to tape. They may subsequently be moved to other storage levels via execution of the Archive Manager object management utility.
Archive Manager also provides a facility (via its database administration process) to automatically control the tape cartridge devices to be used to create each copy during the object migration or backup process
(eg) | ‘A’ copy to primary library location. This copy of the database |
| will be used for normal production access. |
| ‘B’ copy to offsite location. This copy of the database will be |
| used for disaster recovery purposes. |
| ‘C’ copy to alternate onsite location. This copy of the database |
| will be used for recovery after loss of an individual volume. |
| This location may be in another library storage module, for |
| automated recovery access, or on a |
| eventual shelf storage. |
Note that if duplexing during archival is enabled for the Archive Manager database, then a duplex tape volume will be created concurrently with the primary tape volume during database update processing. In some circumstances (e.g. if the duplex volume is created at a remote offsite location) it may not be necessary to execute the Archive Manager database backup utility. Refer to the Archive Manager User Manual for full information on these considerations.
