Mainframe Enablers TimeFinder SnapVX and zDP 8.5 Product Guide

Determines whether the volser of the source volume is copied to the target volume.

The COPYVOLID parameter only applies to locally addressable volumes. COPYVOLID is ignored if you specify it on actions with the SYMDV#, LOCAL, or REMOTE parameters. The COPYVOLID 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 LINK processing:

• If a VTOC index and VVDS are present and active on the target volume, TimeFinder 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 last five characters of the volser of the target volume.
• TimeFinder 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 COPYVolid parameter can be specified on the GLOBAL and LINK commands. It has a matching site option, &COPYVOL.
