Usage

Makes or removes the Logical Volumes (LVs) used by Assure MIMIX for AIX in a specific protection context, such as LFCs. Note however that scsetup will not remove production LVs in the PVS or their associated replica LVs. Run this command after defining and saving a context configuration using the Replication Group wizard.

After you have defined a context, scsetup creates a log file and containers (logical volumes) in the specified volume group.

Syntax

scsetup -M [-ijlnprsv] [-C ID] [-d X] [-o role] [ -t TYPE ]
                scsetup -R [-inv] [-C ID] [-d X] [-o role] [ -t TYPE ]
                scsetup -E [-cinv] [-C ID] [-d X] [-o role]
                scsetup -I [-cinv] [-C ID] [-d X] [-o role]
                scsetup -L [-inv] [-C ID] [-d X]
                scsetup -X [-inv] [-C ID] [-d X]
                scsetup -F [-inv] [-C ID] [-d X]
                scsetup -h
                -C ID Operate on Context ID.
                -c Clear destination device files prior to export/import.
                -d X Debug level of X (0-9).
                -E Export production volumes.

Parameters

Parameter

Description

-c 

Clean destination special device file before it is moved

-C ID 

Operate on Context ID

-i 

Initialize devices (fill with zeros)

-j 

Initialize journal containers (fill with zeros)

-L 

Perform a logform operation on the statemap log

-l 

Skip forming statemap log (if one exists)

-m 

Do not spread volume layout if disks are not specified

-M 

Create new configured logical volumes

-n 

Do not execute commands. Print commands.

-o 

Override the volume group or disk group hints in the configuration with the configured default volume group or disk group

-R 

Remove configured logical volumes (except PDFCs and BSFCs). Any logical volume with true or  production data will not be destroyed.

-s 

Skip setting or clearing bitmaps for statemap (if there are any)

-v 

Verbose mode (using this option twice increases verbosity)

-X 

Delete or clean up device special files from the /dev directory

Notes:

Preparation for Assure MIMIX for AIX data protection.

-F Failover preparation. PDFC LV names are moved to BSFC LV names, and vice versa.
                -i Ignore volume manager errors.
                -I Import production volumes.

Removes Assure MIMIX for AIX data protection, allowing direct access to production data.

-j Initialize COW journal containers (fill with zeros).
                -L Perform a logform on the statemap log
                (implied with -M operation).
                -l Skip forming statemap log (if one exists).
                -M Make configured LV's from scratch.
                -n Don't execute, just print commands.
                -o role Operate on specific role { prod | back }.

Only necessary in a single server configuration.

-p Post processing during make (-M), skips volume creation.
                -r Re-initialize devices (fill with zeros).
                -R Remove configured LV's (all except PDFCs and BSFCs).

Any LV with true or  production data will not be destroyed.

-s Skip setting/clearing bitmaps for statemap
                filters (if there are any).
                -t TYPE An exclusive container type to operate on.
                Multiple -t specifications are allowed.
Note: Type must be of SCRT/container/*, and specified as the associated “Class” name (see “sclist -hz” for a list).
-v Verbose mode (using this option twice increases verbosity).
                -X Delete/Clean-up device special files from /dev.
