autocopy_target_
poolname
Specifies the target of the copy operation
for the pool specified by poolname. Specify
this parameter for each pool listed by the
autocopy_pools parameter.
• You can set this parameter to a target
VTS system name; in this case, the pool
is copied to the same path on the target
server. Ensure that an identically
named vault exists on the target
system. The pool itself does not need to
exist on the target server; it will be
created, if necessary.
• You can also set this parameter to a
vault and server, which defines the
target path on the server.
• You can set this parameter to a pool on
a target VTS server; in this case, VTS
determines the vault in which the pool
resides on the target system.
In all cases, ensure that no virtual tape
name on the target system matches the
name of any virtual tapes to be copied
(they will be overwritten). Also, the vaults
on the originating and target VTS systems
cannot reside in the same GFS file system,
if GFS is used.
You can omit this parameter and set the
autocopy_target_ANYPOOL parameter
to specify the target for all pools.
