Mainframe Enablers TimeFinder SnapVX and zDP 8.5 Product Guide

The LOCAL parameter can be specified on the CONFIG, CREATE, FREE, LINK, QUERY FREE, QUERY SNAPSHOT, RENAME, TERMINATE, and UNLINK commands.

Syntax

LOCAL({

UNIT(cuu) [CONTROLLER({[xxxxxxx-]xxxxx|name})]|

VOLUME(volser) [CONTROLLER({[xxxxxxx-]xxxxx|name})]|

DDNAME(ddname) [CONTROLLER({[xxxxxxx-]xxxxx|name})]|

CONTROLLER({[xxxxxxx-]xxxxx|name})

})

Options

CONTROLLER({[xxxxxxx-]xxxxx|name})

Specifies the local storage system.

The purpose of specifying the CONTROLLER subparameter inside the LOCAL parameter is to verify the serial number of the storage system where the action is to take place.

You may specify a five-digit (xxxxx) or a 12 digit (xxxxxxx-xxxxx) serial number. Or, you may specify a logical storage system name if you previously defined that name to ResourcePak Base.

If the logical storage system name is simple in format (single-word string, all upper case and no more than 64 characters), you can specify the storage system name without quotation marks.

If the logical storage system name is mixed case or contains spaces, you must enclose it in single quotation marks.

DDNAME(ddname)

Identifies the DD statement for the gatekeeper.

UNIT(cuu)

Specifies the unit address of the gatekeeper.

NOTE:The z/OS device number cannot be the unit address of a VDEV.

VOLUME(volser)

Specifies the volser of the gatekeeper.

VOLUME(volser) allows only a single device.
