Mainframe Enablers TimeFinder SnapVX and zDP 8.5 Product Guide
VARY_OFFline
Determines whether the target device must be offline before the request processing begins.
The VARY_OFFLINE parameter can be specified on the GLOBAL, LINK, and UNLINK commands. It has a matching site option, &VARYOFF.
The VARY_OFFLINE parameter only applies to locally addressable volumes. VARY_OFFLINE is ignored if you specify it on actions with the SYMDV# or LOCAL or REMOTE parameters.
Syntax
VARY_OFFline({AUTO|NEVER})
Options
- AUTO
- (Default) Use VARY OFFLINE when appropriate. When VARY_OFFLINE is set to AUTO and the device is already in the required state, TimeFinder takes no action.
- NEVER
- Do not vary devices offline. When VARY_OFFLINE is set to NEVER, TimeFinder also takes no action, but leaves the device in the existing state.
