Security Considerations

CA Disk performs all volume-level security checking prior to recovering each DASD volume. No data set-level security checking is performed. If there is not sufficient authority to a volume, the VRECOVER job will end and the volume will not be recovered. CA Disk will only check for volume-level authority to the volume if one of the three security interfaces is activated and sysparm SECURVOL defaults to a value of Y.

If SECURVOL is specified with a value of N, even though the volume can be protected by your security system, CA Disk will still recover to that volume. This applies to both the target volume and the volume name specified for the IDVOL= parameter of the VRECOVER command. Use of the VBACKUP and CA Disk can restrict VRECOVER commands themselves. For more information on volume security, protecting CA Disk commands, and security authorization levels for VRECOVER, see Security Processing in the Systems Guide.
