The following lists the naming convention for each dataset:

Disk configuration definition file name:
prefix.DSK.SNnnnnn.DAD-ID
Copy group definition file name:
prefix.GRP.copy-group-ID

The values that can be specified for each variable are explained below. The values specified for prefix and DAD-ID must be the same as the value specified for the Business Continuity Manager agent initialization parameter PREFIX.

  • prefix: Prefix of the configuration file

    Specify a string of 25 characters or fewer that consists of one or more parts, joined by periods (.). Letters for the prefix name are uppercase alphabetic with the length of 1 to 8 letters and the first letter must be alphabetic.

  • copy-group-ID

    Specify a string or multiple substrings joined together by periods. Uppercase alphabetic characters, numeric characters, and special characters ($, #, and @) can be used. Note that the string or each substring must begin with an uppercase alphabetic characters or special character, and consist of 1 to 8 characters.

    Maximum specifiable length = 44 - (5 + prefix-length)

  • nnnnn: Serial number of the scanned storage system
  • DAD-ID: Device address domain ID of the scanned storage system

    The following values can be specified:

    • When creating for a local scan: Device address domain ID of the local site
    • When creating for an NG scan: Non Gen'ed Device address domain ID
    • When creating for a remote scan: Device address domain ID of the remote site

    Specify a string or multiple substrings joined together by periods. Uppercase alphabetic characters, numeric characters, and special characters ($, #, and @) can be used. Note that the string or each substring must begin with an uppercase alphabetic characters or special character, and consist of 1 to 8 characters.

    Maximum specifiable length = 44 - (13 + prefix-length)

When a disk configuration definition file or a copy group definition file is updated from Replication Manager, a temporary file is created. After the file is successfully updated, the temporary file is deleted.

Do not create a dataset with the same name as that of a temporary file. The following lists the file naming conventions for the temporary files:

Name of the temporary file for the disk configuration definition file:
prefix.TMP.SNnnnnn.DAD-ID
Name of the temporary file for the copy group definition file:
prefix.TMP.copy-group-ID
