Creating a Copygroup

[rstockton]

We have a situation where we have suppossedly 2 identical instances of CMOD, but when I was reviewing the copygroups I found that we had the following copygroup setup on one system and not the second one.  Both servers have a Policy with the same name as the copygroup.  How do I create a copygroup on the second server?

Thanks,

Russell

Hi Russell.

I fail to see where the disparity is.  You didn't provide the output of the q copygroup command from the second server.

Without getting too deep into TSM, a policyset (of which copygroup is a component), once defined, needs to be activated.  Once activated, it appears as 'active', as you can see in your output.  If none of the components of the policyset have changed, then the policyset is identical to the activated one.

Justin,

Following is the copygroup query from the second instance.  It does not find a copygroup on this instance.


tsm: TSMONDDR>q copygroup OD7YRPD f=d
Session established with server TSMONDDR: AIX-RS/6000
  Server Version 5, Release 5, Level 3.0
  Server date/time: 08/24/11   08:57:39  Last access: 08/24/11   08:19:23

ANR2034E QUERY COPYGROUP: No match found using this criteria.
ANS8001I Return code 11.


Thanks,

Russell

If I want to create copygroups on the instance not containing one, would I use the following?  This should make the copygroups look like the ones on the other instance.

define copygroup OD7YRPD OD7YRPS OD7YRMC standard type=backup
destination=backuppool frequency=0 verexists=2 mode=Modified verdeleted=1 retextra=30 retonly=60 serialization=Shared Static


define copygroup OD7YRPD ACTIVE OD7YRMC standard type=backup
destination=backuppool frequency=0 verexists=2 mode=Modified verdeleted=1 retextra=30 retonly=60 serialization=Shared Static


Thanks,

Russell
