2.6.3 Setting the Required Number of Free Volumes

Define the required number of free volumes for each copy group in the setting file (user.properties).

File Name for Setting

The required number of free volumes must be defined in the following files.

  • In the case of non-cluster operation

    OS

    File Name

    Windows

    $INS_DIR\etc\prop\user.properties

    Solaris
    Linux

    /etc/opt/FJSVccm/prop/user.properties

    $INS_DIR means "Program Directory" specified at the AdvancedCopy Manager CCM installation.

  • In the case of cluster operation

    OS

    File Name

    Windows

    $SHARE_DL:$SHARE_TOP\etc\prop\user.properties

    Solaris
    Linux

    $SHARE_MNT/etc/opt/FJSVccm/user.properties

    $SHARE_DL is the drive letter of the shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager CCM shared data.
    $SHARE_TOP is the directory that contains "Environment Directory" and "Work Directory" of the shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager CCM shared data.
    $SHARE_MNT is the mount point of the shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager CCM shared data.

If the above files do not exist, they must be created.

How to Set the Required Number of Free Volumes

In the above files, define the copy group name and the required number of free volumes.

Item Name

Explanation

acsnap.freePair.copyGroupName

The name of the copy group is defined in the copyGroupName section. Define the copy group names displayed with the acgroup list command using the correct uppercase and lowercase letters.
Specify the required number of free volumes for the copy group with a value of 0 or more.

Copy groups for which this item is not defined and copy groups for which an invalid value is set are considered to be a value of 0.

Example

The following is an example of defining the required number of free volumes for copy group "grp1" as "1" and the required number of free volumes for copy group "grp2" as "2" in the "user.properties" file.

acsnap.freePair.grp1=1
acsnap.freePair.grp2=2
