HP XP P9000 for Business Continuity Manager Software Reference Guide

This command reads the following files and creates a copy group definition file:
• Pair information CSV file
CSV file containing information on copy pairs in a CG container
• EXCTG information CSV file
CSV file containing EXCTG information (required only when using an EXCTG)
• CTG information CSV file
CSV file containing information on consistency groups in a Continuous Access Journal Z copy
group container (required only for Continuous Access Journal Z)
• Disk configuration definition file
• Copy group definition file
Copy group definition file that defines attributes of a copy group to be created
Before you execute this command, allocate datasets for the CSV files under the following DD names
and catalog the files:
• Pair information CSV file: INPAIR
• EXCTG information CSV file: INEXCTG
• CTG information CSV file: INCTG
For details about CSV files, see “CSV Files Used by the Copy Group Definition File Generation

Parameters
PREFIX(prefix) ~ < prefix of 25 or fewer characters>

the base.
Maximum length that can actually be specified = 44 - (5 + PREFIX-length)
NEWGROUP(copy-group-ID) ~ < GROUP string>
Specify a name for the copy group definition file that is to be created, without the prefix.GRP part.
Maximum length that can be specified = 44 - (5 + PREFIX-length)
A new copy group definition file is created under the name specified in this parameter. To overwrite
an existing copy group definition file, specify the same name in the BASEGROUP and NEWGROUP
parameters.
CAPACITY({CHECK|NOCHECK})
Specify whether to check the capacities of the P-VOL and S-VOL for the newly defined copy pair.
The default is CHECK.
