SET DRMPLANVPOSTFIX (Specify replacement volume names)

Use this command to specify the character to be appended to replacement volume names in the recovery plan file. The character can help you find or generate replacement volume names when you use the recovery plan file.

At installation, the character is set to @. IBM Spectrum® Protect generates replacement names for primary storage pool volumes that were added by the DEFINE VOLUME command. Use the appended character to:

Find replacement volume names in the recovery plan stanzas so that you can change the names at recovery time. For example, you may not know the names of the available tape volumes at the recovery site.
Generate replacement volume names. You need a naming convention that works for any device type in your primary storage pools. Consider the following:
- The generated length of replacement volume name
- Legal characters in the replacement volume name
- Conflicts with existing volume names
- A replacement volume name must be different from any destroyed, existing, or new volume name.

Use the QUERY DRMSTATUS command to see the character added to the end of the replacement volume names.
