HP XP P9000 for Business Continuity Manager Software Reference Guide

3 Data Objects
This chapter describes the dataset formats and required disk capacity for the configuration file,
the XML document type definitions, and REXX variable structures.
Names of configuration files
Running Business Continuity Manager data objects exist as REXX variable structures. For details
about these data objects, see “About REXX Variable Structures” (page 324).
Business Continuity Manager data objects that are not running exist as XML format files
(Configuration files) in disks. For details about the XML format, see “XML Document Type Definitions”
(page 309).
NOTE: When data objects are saved, HP XP24000 Disk Array is written as USPV in the file.
Conversion from the configuration files to the REXX variables is executed by the YKLOAD command.
Conversion from the REXX variables to the configuration files is executed by the YKSTORE command.
Executing the YKLOAD command converts the configuration files to REXX variables. Executing the
YKSTORE command converts the REXX variables to the configuration files.
Table 139 Names of the configuration files
File nameFile type
prefix.GRP.copy-group-IDCopy group definition file
prefix.DSK.SNnnnnn.device-address-domain-IDDisk configuration definition file
prefix.ROUTE.route-list-IDRoute list definition file
prefix.CDEV.device-address-domain-IDCommand device definition file
prefix.PATH.path-set-IDPath set definition file
NOTE:
• prefix must be the same in the operation scope of the copy group.
• nnnnn is the serial number of a detected storage system.
• device-address-domain-ID is the ID for the device address domain in which a storage system
is detected.
NOTE: If you execute YKBTSCAN, temporary files will be created. These files will be deleted after
the disk configuration definition file is successfully created or updated. For this reason, do not
create datasets that will have the same names as the temporary files. The following shows the
names of the temporary files:
• prefix.NEW.SNnnnnn.device-address-domain-ID
• prefix.OLD.SNnnnnn.device-address-domain-ID
NOTE: If you execute YKBTSCAN, temporary files will be created. These files will be deleted
after the disk configuration definition file is successfully created or updated. For this reason, do
not create datasets that will have the same names as the temporary files.
The following shows the names of the temporary files:
• prefix.NEW.SNnnnnn.device-address-domain-ID
• prefix.OLD.SNnnnnn.device-address-domain-ID
