ACSD
Except where noted, the profile parameters in the ACSD section
are independent of the storage device or application.
- ACS_REPOSITORY
- This parameter denotes the directory of the IBM® Storage
Protect Snapshot repository. This directory is used for
all operations, and must be in a secure location. If the repository is lost, all backups become
unavailable to IBM Storage
Protect Snapshot even if they
remain in the storage device. The directory that is referenced by the ACS_REPOSITORY parameter cannot be in a file system that participates in snapshot backup operations. If the directory is part of a file system that is used for snapshot backup operations, IBM Storage Protect Snapshot reports a failure. The IBM Storage Protect Snapshot repository cannot be in the main IBM Storage Protect Snapshot directory that is specified by the ACS_DIR parameter. Ideally, the ACS_REPOSITORY directory is a subdirectory of the ACS_DIR directory. For example:
<ACS_DIR>/acsrepositoryBefore you configure IBM Storage Protect Snapshot, the path to the ACS_REPOSITORY is set, but the directory does not exist. The ACS_REPOSITORY directory is created during the configuration process. If the directory specified for the ACS_REPOSITORY parameter exists, an error is reported.
- Default
- <ACS_DIR>/acsrepository.
- Advanced mode only
- Yes.
- REPOSITORY_LABEL
- When this parameter is set, a prefix is added to each volume name on the IBM
XIV® Storage System. The prefix contains 3 characters in one of
the following ranges:
[a-z] [A-Z] [0-9]Note: If the repository label changes, backups that are created with the prior repository label are excluded from reconciliation.- Default
- TSM
- Advanced mode only
- Yes.
- SYNCHRONOUS_RECONCILE
- This parameter is used to configure IBM Storage Protect
Snapshot to synchronously reconcile and delete
snapshot backups. The following options are possible for this parameter.
- NO
- Specify this option when you do not want to start a synchronous delete and reconcile operation.
- YES
- Use this option to start a synchronous delete and reconcile process as part of a backup, restore, and delete operation. This process is useful for storage systems that delete snapshot backups during an IBM Storage Protect Snapshot backup or cloning operation. SAN Volume Controller and Storwize® family storage systems can delete backups during a restore operation.
- RESTORE_AND_DELETE
- Use the RESTORE_AND_DELETE option to start a synchronous delete and reconcile
process as part of a restore and delete operation. This option is useful for storage systems that
can delete snapshot backups during an IBM Storage Protect
Snapshot restore process. For example, the Storwize family and SAN Volume Controller storage systems can
delete backups during a restore and delete operation. The RESTORE_AND_DELETE option
is also useful if you manually delete snapshot backups and use the force option
(-f)on DS8000®, SAN Volume Controller, or Storwize family storage systems. - Default
- The default for this parameter is RESTORE_AND_DELETE.
- Advanced mode only
- YES
