Group Sections

This section contains an alphabetic list of the attributes that can be coded in the customizable Group Sections. The list contains a description of each attribute, its valid values, and the CA Vtape features it supports. Unless specifically noted, each attribute is considered local in scope.

Description=

A free form description of the group limited to 30 characters. The value coded must be enclosed in single quotes.

Valid Values: 'Any 30 characters'

Feature: Miscellaneous

HardwareCompressionOption=

Determines if compression should be performed on data written to Virtual Volumes that are assigned to this group.

Note: This attribute is only active if the HardwareCompressionOption attribute in the Dynamic Options Section is set to GROUP.

Valid Values:

Note: For more information about Virtual Volume Compression, see the chapter “Virtual Device Engine.”

Default: N

Feature: Virtual Volume Compression

MaximumCompressionCPU=

Determines the maximum amount of data in each 50 MB segment of data written to a Virtual Volume that will be compressed. This percentage is directly related to the amount of CPU used by compression. If, for example, this percentage is set to 75, only 75% of the data written will be compressed and only 75% of the CPU that would have been used by compression is actually used.

Note: This attribute is only active if the HardwareCompressionOption attribute in the Dynamic Options Section is set to GROUP.

Valid Values:

Note: For more information about Virtual Volume Compression, see the chapter “Virtual Device Engine.”

Default: 100

Feature: Virtual Volume Compression

MinimumCompressionRate=

Determines the minimum compression percentage that must be achieved to continue compressing a 50 MB segment of a Virtual Volume being written. Compression is tested every 50 MBs of each Virtual Volume to determine the best compression method to use.

Note: This attribute is only active if the HardwareCompressionOption attribute in the Dynamic Options Section is set to GROUP.

Note: For more information about Virtual Volume Compression, see the chapter “Virtual Device Engine.”

Valid Values: 1 to 100

Section: Group Sections

Feature: Virtual Volume Compression

VolumePool=

Specifies the name of the Virtual Volume pool used to obtain the volser for new scratch mount requests.

Virtual Volume pools are defined in the Volume Pool Definitions Section of the OSPOOLS member.

Valid Values: POOL1 or any valid virtual volume pool defined under the Volume Pool Definitions Section.

Default: POOL1

Section: Group Sections

Feature: Miscellaneous
