Test Access after Cold Recovery

Perform preliminary testing to verify that CA Cloud Storage for System z has access to the recovered appliance.

Follow these steps:

  1. Start the CA Vtape subsystem on z/OS.
  2. Issue the following CA Vtape subsystem commands to check connectivity to the Cloud Connector and the recovered appliance:

    Note: For more information about these commands, see the Linux Installation and Configuration Guide.

  3. Test read access to recovered Virtual Volumes. Run z/OS jobs that read repopulated Virtual Volumes.
  4. To test write access, run jobs on z/OS that write new scratch volumes to the recovered appliance.
  5. Consider more testing to confirm that the basic functionality of CA Cloud Storage for System z is restored using the new appliance.

    Cold Recovery of the SteelStore appliance is complete.
