VARY_ONline

Determines whether the target device must be online after the requested processing completes.

The VARY_ONLINE parameter can be specified on the GLOBAL, LINK, and UNLINK commands. It has a matching site option, &VARYON. &VARYON, however, only takes the values AUTO and NEVER. (NEVER has the same meaning as NO.)

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

Syntax

VARY_ONline({AUTO|Yes|No})

Options

AUTO
(Default) Use VARY ONLINE when appropriate. When VARY_ONLINE is set to AUTO and the device is already in the required state, TimeFinder takes no action.
Yes
Use VARY ONLINE all the time whatever the current state. When VARY_ONLINE is set to YES, TimeFinder always varies the device online regardless of the device current state.
No
Do not vary devices online. When VARY_ONLINE is set to NO, TimeFinder takes no action, but leaves the device in the existing state.
