The devices associated with an object or object backup storage
group have both physical (actual) and logical (system defined) connections
to systems in the SMS complex. You are responsible for maintaining
consistency between these two types of connections.
One
of the following four relationships exists between each system in
the SMS complex and the object or object backup storage group:
- ENABLE
- For
object storage groups, SMS permits application access to the object
storage hierarchy of this group. For object backup storage groups,
SMS permits access to the volume set. All OSREQ functions are allowed.
- DISALL
- For
object or object backup storage groups, SMS permits restricted access
to the object storage hierarchy. The OSREQ functions STORE, RETRIEVE,
and DELETE are denied to applications. All object processing continues
to be done for the storage group.
- DISNEW
- For
object or object backup storage groups, SMS permits restricted access
to the hierarchy. The OSREQ function STORE is denied to applications.
All object processing continues to be done for the storage group.
- NOTCON
- The
named system cannot process this object/object backup group. NOTCON
is the default.
You can enable object and object backup storage groups to more
than one system. If you are not in an OAMplex, OAM ignores object
storage groups that are defined as being connected to more than one
system and issues a message.
