Well, unless you are in a Shared filesystem environment with a sysplex root, typically the backup has to occur on the system that the filesystem is mounted on, so that it can be quiesced. If you are, then, you can do it from any system that is sharing. Another consideration is if in a multisystem environment, are the filesystems cataloged in a catalog available to all systems?
This is the way it is for DFDSS or FDR. I am assuming you are using DFDSS as the datamover in HSM. We are currently running a batch job per system in the plex to do the backups. We are also using HSM to do full volume weekly dumps that include a lot of our system specific filesystems. Might revisit that once fully shared. _________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Assistant Vice President, Mainframe Engineering david.jou...@53.com 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB2H p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.2717 From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Jonathan Miller Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2013 10:19 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: DFSMShsm and backing up ZFS files Hi, I am trying to have DFSMShsm backup our ZFS files during AUTOBACKUPSTART time period. I followed the directions in the manual and made sure the Default Group had a GID and the Started Task user id also has a UID (0) and a directory of '/' (root). The files still aren't backing up. We are on zos 1.12 and I also changed the INCREMENTALBACKUP to ORIGINAL to pick these up since they didn't already have a backup. Has anyone implemented this and does it work? I can't figure out what I'm missing or why they aren't backing up. The HFS files show up as being queised and then get backed up.
