   '-SPHERE-'   
SPHERE is an option for a logical data set dump. SPHERE specifies that for any VSAM cluster dumped DFSMSdss must also dump all associated AIX® clusters and paths. Individual sphere components need not be specified, only the base cluster name.
Note:
  1. The base cluster name must be specified to process the entire sphere. If the SPHERE keyword is specified but the base cluster name is not, none of the associations will be processed.
  2. If an AIX is dumped without the SPHERE keyword, during a restore DFSMSdss treats the AIX as a normal VSAM KSDS.
