Positional parameters immediately follow the update
config command and precede the optional parameters.
The following positional parameters specify the values
in the
Tivoli® Storage FlashCopy® Manager configuration
file. You can set only one value for each
update config command
run:
- DATEformat=dateformatnum
- Use
the DATEformat positional parameter to select
the format you want to use to display dates.
The dateformatnum variable
displays the date in one of the following formats. Select the format
number that corresponds to the format you want to use.
- 1
- MM/DD/YYYY. This format is the default.
- 2
- DD-MM-YYYY
- 3
- YYYY-MM-DD
- 4
- DD.MM.YYYY
- 5
- YYYY.MM.DD
- 6
- YYYY/MM/DD
- 7
- DD/MM/YYYY
Changes to the value of the
dateformat parameter
can result in an undesired pruning of the
Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager log
file (
fcm.log by default). You can avoid losing
existing log file data by doing one of the following actions:
- After you change the value of the dateformat parameter,
make a copy of the existing log file before you run Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager.
- Specify a new log file with the /logfile parameter.
- IMPORTVSSSNAPSHOTSONLYWhenneeded=Yes | No
- By default, the parameter is set to No. This
default setting means that local persistent VSS snapshots are automatically
imported to the Windows system
where the snapshots are created. By importing the VSS snapshots only
when needed, the snapshots are imported to a host for FlashCopy Manager operations. To not automatically
import local persistent snapshots to the Windows system where the snapshots are created,
set the parameter to Yes.
- LANGuage=language
- Specify
the three-character code of the language you want to use to display
messages:
- CHS
- Simplified Chinese
- CHT
- Traditional Chinese
- DEU
- Standard German
- ENU
- American English (This option is the default.)
- ESP
- Standard Spanish
- FRA
- Standard French
- ITA
- Standard Italian
- JPN
- Japanese
- KOR
- Korean
- PTB
- Brazilian Portuguese
- LOCALDSMAgentnode=nodename
- Specify
the node name of the local system that runs the VSS backups. This
positional parameter must be specified for VSS operations to be performed.
- LOGFile=logfilename
- Use
the LOGFile positional parameter to specify the
name of the activity log file that is generated by Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager. The Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager activity
log records significant events, such as completed commands and error
messages.
The logfilename variable identifies
the name of the activity log file.
If the specified log file does
not exist, a new log file is created. If the specified log file exists,
new log entries are appended to the file. The logfilename variable
can include a fully qualified path. However, if no path is specified,
the log file is assigned to the Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager installation
directory.
- /LOGPrune=numdays | No
- Use
the /LOGPrune positional parameter to disable
log pruning or to set log pruning parameters. By default, log pruning
is enabled and done one time per day. The numdays variable
represents the number of days to save log entries. You can specify
a value of No or 0 - 9999.
By default, 60 days of log entries are saved in the
pruning process.
- NUMberformat=fmtnum
- Use
the NUMberformat positional parameter to specify
the format you want to use to display numbers.
The
fmtnum variable
displays numbers by using one of the following formats. Select the
format number that corresponds to the format you want to use.
- 1
- n,nnn.dd. This format is the default.
- 2
- n,nnn,dd.
- 3
- n nnn,dd
- 4
- n nnn.dd
- 5
- n.nnn,dd
- 6
- n'nnn,dd
- REMOTEDSMAgentnode=remote_node
- Specifies the remote client node that runs the VSS offloaded backups
on a remote computer.
- TIMEformat=formatnumber
- Use
the TIMEformat positional parameter to specify
the format in which you want to display the system time.
The
formatnumber variable
displays time in one of the following formats. Select the format number
that corresponds to the format you want to use.
- 1
- HH:MM:SS This is the default.
- 2
- HH,MM,SS
- 3
- HH.MM.SS
- 4
- HH:MM:SSA/P
