RDF System Management Manual for J-series and H-series RVUs (RDF Update 13)

Only files are supported when this updater option is used with the ALTER VOLUME command.
Subvolumes and wild cards in filenames are also not supported. For more information on the
usage of this option with ALTER command, see “ALTER” (page 183).
EXCLUDEPURGE subvol.file
specifies what the subvolume(s) and file(s) on the primary system data volume for which the
enscribe purge operations are not to be replicated by the updater process on the backup
system. subvol.file can have the wildcard character as a suffix. Similarly, file can be an
explicit filename, the wildcard character, or have the wildcard character as a suffix. For more
information, see “INCLUDEPURGE and EXCLUDEPURGE” (page 274).
MAPFILE $vol.subvol.fname
specifies the mapfile on the backup system that contains mapping strings that constitute the
mapping rules. The updater will apply these rules to the audit records present in the image trail
files. This parameter is optional.
MAPLOG $vol.subvol.fname
specifies the log file on the backup system into which the updater should log the source and
target filename pairs if a mapping rule is applied. This parameter is optional.
Where Issued
Primary system only.
Security Restrictions
None.
RDF State Requirements
None.
Usage Guidelines
The SET VOLUME command enters the parameter values specified for the updater in this command
into the RDF configuration table in memory. This table serves as an input buffer only, and so these
values do not affect the subsystem until they are applied to the RDF configuration file with the ADD
command.
For ATINDEX values greater than 0, the specified value must match the audit trail number of a
configured auxiliary audit trail. If you specify SET VOLUME ATINDEX 2, for example, there must
be a configured auxiliary audit trail AUX02.
Furthermore, RDF objects with a particular ATINDEX value greater than 0 must together constitute
a complete set:
• If there is an extractor with an ATINDEX value of 1, there must also be a receiver with an
ATINDEX value of 1.
• If there is a receiver with an ATINDEX value of 1, there must also be a secondary image trail
with an ATINDEX of 1.
• An updater with an ATINDEX value of 1 must be protecting a primary system data volume
configured to auxiliary audit trail AUX01, and its secondary image trail must also have an
ATINDEX value of 1.
For a discussion on the use of INCLUDE and EXCLUDE lists, see Chapter 11 (page 271).
Once an updater process has been added to the RDF configuration, The ALTER VOLUME command
supports the INCLUDE/EXCLUDE keywords to allow modification of INCLUDE/EXCLUDE clauses
when RDF is running. The ALTER command supports inclusion and exclusion of files only. Wild
cards in file names and subvolume names are not supported in this command.
