HP XP7 Business Continuity Manager Reference Guide (TK954-96004)

DAD(device-address-domain-ID)~ <DAD string>
Specify the current host's device address domain ID (host device address domain ID). For details
about the maximum length that can be specified, see “Names of configuration files” (page 306).
DEVN(nnnn[:nnnn][,nnnn[:nnnn]]...)~ <4-digit hexadecimal number>
Specify the device number of a volume to be scanned. To specify a range of device numbers,
insert a colon between the first and the last device numbers for scanning. To specify multiple device
numbers, separate the device numbers by a comma.
VOLSER('volser'[:'volser'][,'volser'[:'volser']]...)~ <6 or fewer alphanumeric characters>
Specify a volume to be scanned by enclosing the volume serial number in apostrophes. To specify
a range of volume serial numbers, insert a colon between the first and the last volume serial numbers
for scanning. To specify multiple volume serial numbers, separate the volume serial numbers by a
comma.
Business Continuity Manager performs a scan by using the device number (DEVN) that corresponds
to the volume serial number (VOLSER).
NOTE:
• Multiple DEVN and VOLSER parameters can be specified.
• If there are multiple PREFIX and DAD parameters, the last specified value will be valid.
• When specifying a range of VOLSERs, the range is evaluated by incrementing the EBCDIC
values of the characters in the first VOLSER until the second VOLSER is reached. This can cause
unexpected results or even errors when the specified range evaluates differently than expected.
• Continuation lines cannot be specified.
• Enclose comments in /* */.

Example of entries from SYSIN
This example assumes that the prefix of the disk configuration definition file is PREFIX1, and the
host device domain ID is DAD1.
For scanning the volumes with the device numbers 1100 and 1101
PREFIX(PREFIX1)
DAD(DAD1)
DEVN(1100,1101)
