Notes: Unless otherwise instructed, read all references in this section to CA VM:Secure as CA VM:Secure or CA VM:Director.

You cannot use CA VM:Backup to back up all CA VM:Secure minidisks. This section describes the special backup processing required and lists the utilities you must use in addition to CA VM:Backup.

Use CA VM:Backup to back up these CA VM:Secure minidisks without quiescing them:

  • The 192 (RUNTIME) minidisk containing program material
  • The 194 (COMMON) minidisk used by the CA VM:Secure Servant Facility. The files on this minidisk are created every time CA VM:Secure is initialized with the Servant Facility activated. Therefore, no special processing for the 194 minidisk is required.

The CA VM:Secure 1B3 minidisk is an IPLDISK that is not accessed by CMS. You must specify a physical backup format for this minidisk in the CA VM:Backup exception file used to back up CA VM:Secure.

Select the QUIESCE option in the CA VM:Backup exception file to back up these CA VM:Secure minidisks:

  • The 191 (LOCAL) minidisk
  • The 1B2 (HOLD) minidisk
  • The 1B4 (RULE) minidisk (CA VM:Secure only, not CA VM:Director)

When the backup is run, CA VM:Backup checks to see if the quiesce user exit (VMBEXIT2) exists. If you choose to define this user exit, code the exit to issue a return code of 4 to allow CA VM:Backup to use the CP SMSG facility to quiesce the CA VM:Secure minidisks listed above. If the VMBEXIT2 user exit does not exist, CA VM:Backup uses the CP SMSG facility to ask CA VM:Secure to quiesce these minidisks. Refer to the CA VM:Backup System Programmer's Reference for more information about using the VMBEXIT2 quiesce user exit.

To back up the CA VM:Secure 1B0 (DRCT) directory database minidisk, use the CA VM:Secure utilities VMXBKP01, VMXBKP02, and VMXBKP03.

Note: For more information about using these utilities, see the CA VM:Secure Reference Guide.

To backup the CA VM:Secure 1D0 (AUDT) audit database minidisk, use the AUDITEXT command. Refer to the CA VM:Secure Reference Guide for information about using this command.

Requirement

Make sure there is a PRODUCT VMBACKUP VMBACKUP record in the CA VM:Secure PRODUCT CONFIG file.
