DEVICE_CLASS Storwize family and SAN Volume Controller Storage System parameters
The parameters that are defined in the device class section of the profile file, configure IBM® Tivoli® Storage FlashCopy® Manager for UNIX and Linux for use with the IBM Storwize® family or IBM System Storage® SAN Volume Controller storage systems.
When you configure, you have a choice of Storwize family and SAN Volume Controller device types. Depending on which device type you
select, the parameter values that are required vary.
Specify SVCDTA or
SVC when prompted by the setup script with a choice of storage system types
(COPYSERVICES_HARDWARE_TYPE). You can select one of the following device types:
- Storwize family and SAN Volume Controller dynamic target allocation (SVCDTA)
- Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for UNIX and Linux dynamically allocates target volumes on the storage system during the backup process.
- Storwize family and SAN Volume Controller static target allocation (SVC)
- Before you start the backup process, you must manually create target volumes on the storage system. Also, predefined volumes must be defined in a Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager configuration file or must match a specific naming pattern.
