Mainframe Enablers TimeFinder SnapVX and zDP 8.5 Product Guide

Used with COPYVOLID(NO) to condition the new target volume so that the volume can remain online with its original volser or a new volser, if specified.

The CONDITIONVOLUME parameter only applies to locally addressable volumes. CONDITIONVOLUME is ignored if you specify it on actions with the SYMDV#, LOCAL, or REMOTE parameters. The CONDITIONVOLUME parameter is also ignored when you specify volumes by GNS group.

When you specify COPYV(N) and CONDVOL(ALL), the following additional changes are made after successful completion of snapshot processing:

• If a VTOC index and VVDS are present and active on the target volume, TimeFinder/Clone Mainframe Snap Facility updates any records for the VTOC index and VVDS files to reflect the new names of these files. VTOC index names have the form SYS1.VTOCIX.volser and VVDS names have the form SYS1.VVDS.Vnnnnn. The volser portion of these names is the same as the volser of the target volume.
• If the volser begins with a numeric character, the default name for the VTOC index is SYS1.VTOCIX.Vnnnnn, where nnnnn is the final five characters of the target volume volser.
• TimeFinder/Clone Mainframe Snap Facility updates the VTOC records for the VTOC index and VVDS, if present, to reflect the new names for these files with the same naming conventions as for the VTOC index updates.

The CONDITIONVOLUME parameter can be specified on the GLOBAL and LINK commands. It has a matching site option, &CONDVOL.

Syntax

CONDitionVOLume({ALL|LaBeL|DUMP})

Options

ALL

(Default) The label, VTOC, VTOCIX, and VVDS of the target volume are conditioned so that the volume can remain online with its original volser. Datasets on this volume may be cataloged or recataloged with no problem.

DUMP

The label of the target volume is updated so that it retains the original and the copied volser. No changes are made to the copied VTOC, VTOCIX, and VVDS.

LaBeL

Only the label of the target volume is retained. No changes are made to the copied VTOC, VTOCIX, and VVDS. The VTOC, VTOCIX, and VVDS are the same as the original source volume. This is equivalent to an ICKDSF REFORMAT command with the VOLID parameter.
