An Object storage group is associated with an Object Backup storage
group through SETOSMC statements in the CBROAMxx member of
PARMLIB. Through these statements, you can associate an Object storage
group with a first and a second Object Backup storage group. If no
storage groups are specified, then the defaults for the configuration
are used.
Note: You can access only volumes that are associated with the Object
or Object Backup storage groups that are defined in the active SMS
configuration. A volume that is associated with an Object or Object
Backup storage group that is not defined in the active SMS configuration
cannot be accessed. Objects that are already written on that volume
cannot be retrieved, and OAM cannot write new objects to that volume.
A message is issued at OAM initialization for each volume that is
associated with the Object or Object Backup storage group that is
not defined in the active configuration. (Message CBR0182I is issued
for optical volumes or CBR0210I for tape volumes.) To remedy this
problem, define the Object or Object Backup storage groups to the
active configuration by activating an SCDS that contains the Object
or Object Backup storage groups.
See SETOSMC statements for use in the OSMC environment for a sample SETOSMC
statement that you can use when assigning Object storage groups.
