Setting the storage agent data transfer destination

Edit online

You must set the storage agent data transfer destination to enable data transfer between the storage agent and the z/OS media server. The destination for data must be a LAN-free capable storage pool.

Procedure

Set a LAN-free destination by completing the following steps:

  1. Define a copy group with a destination to a LAN-free capable storage pool.
    For example: 
    define copygroup zosdirect zosdirectpolicy zosdirectdefmgt
   type=backup destination=storage_pool_name
  2. Activate the policy set.
    For example: 
    activate policyset zosdirect zosdirectpolicy

What to do next

If you do not want to use the default management class for z/OS media server access, create a management class.

With a hierarchical storage management client configured for storage agent data transfer, the management class (not the copy group) is set to a LAN-free capable storage pool.
