Configuring Volume Sets After system names and switchover pairs have been configured or removed, you must define which nonsystem volume sets are to be switched over to the alternate system when the home system is inoperative or which nonsystem volume sets are to be removed from the SPU Switchover/XL environment. Adding Volume Sets The AVOLSET command enables you to specify the home system for switchable volume sets.
NOTE The SPU configurator must recognize the home system in order for the command to function properly.
To display all volume sets on the home system and their identification names, enter the DSTAT command at the home system's prompt: : DSTAT Return
NOTE The system you are doing the configuration on, is the system where all the switchable volume sets must be mounted.
The system responds by displaying the following information: _________________________________________________________ | | | LDEV-TYPE STATUS VOLUME (VOLUME SET - GEN) | | _________ ______ _________________________ | | 60-079371 MASTER-MD MASTER (order_volume_set-0)| | 61-079371 MASTER-MD MEMBER1 (order_volume_set-0)| | 62-079371 SCRATCH | | 63-079371 SCRATCH | | 66-OFFLINE LOCKED MASTER (mirr1-0) | | 67-OFFLINE LOCKED MASTER (mirr1-0) | | 70-079371 MASTER-MD MASTER (order_volume_set-0)| | 71-079371 MASTER-MD MEMBER1 (order_volume_set-0)| _________________________________________________________ Figure 2-2. Example DSTAT Command Display To add volume sets to the configuration, ensure that you are logged on as manager.sys and perform the following from the home (configuring) system: 1. Enter the SYSGEN utility: : SYSGEN Return 2. Enter the SPU facility within SYSGEN: sysgen> SPU Return 3. From the SPU facility use the AVOLSET command to identify and add a volume set to the configuration. For example, to add volume set A_DATA_SET to the home system named Alpha, enter the following command: spu> AVOLSET VOLSET=A_USER_VOL_SET HOME=ALPHA Return _________________________________________________________________ NOTE When adding or deleting a volume set, ensure that you do not add the generation number in the command line. If the generation number is added to the command line, an error message is displayed. _________________________________________________________________ 4. To ensure that all nonsystem volume sets have been added to the configuration, enter the following: spu> SHOW Return The system responds by displaying the home system, alternate system, and the volume sets that have been configured for SPU Switchover/XL. ______________________________________________ | | | spu> SHOW | | | | Home Alternate Volume Sets | | ____ _________ ___________ | | Alpha Beta a_user_vol_set | | order2_volume_set| | order3_volume_set| | | | Beta Alpha order1_volume_set| | order4_volume_set| ______________________________________________ Figure 2-3. Example SHOW Command Display 5. Enter the following to retain the entries in the configuration file: spu> HOLD Return spu> E Return sysgen> KEEP Return Keeping to group CONFIG.SYS Purge old configuration (yes/no)? Y Return ** Configuration files successfully saved ** sysgen> E Return All switchable volume sets must be mounted on the home (configuring) system. If the system specified (in the AVOLSET command) is not a home system (in a previous APAIR command), then the following message appears: ** Error ** Home system not defined in any system pair Deleting Volume Sets The DVOLSET command enables you to delete switchable volume sets from the configuration. To delete volume sets from the configuration, ensure that you are logged on as manager.sys, and perform the following from the home or alternate systems: 1. Enter the SYSGEN utility: : SYSGEN Return 2. Enter the SPU facility within SYSGEN: sysgen> SPU Return 3. From the SPU facility use the DVOLSET command to identify and delete a volume set (B_DATA_SET) from the configuration: spu> DVOLSET VOLSET=B_DATA_SET Return If B_DATA_SET is not assigned to a system, the following message is displayed: ** Error ** Volume set not in configuration 4. Enter the following to retain the entries in the configuration file: spu> HOLD Return spu> E Return sysgen> KEEP Return Keeping to group CONFIG.SYS Purge old configuration (yes/no)? Y Return ** Configuration files successfully saved ** sysgen> E Return
