Product Tags in VMSERVER NAMES File

This section lists the NAMES file tags that CA VM:Backup uses.

During deployment, you create a NAMES entry with default file tag values by using the CA Mainframe VM Product Manager VMDEFINE command. You can alter these defaults during the deployment, when the screen created by VMDEFINE appears. After the deployment, you can modify the entries in the NAMEs file using the VMSERVER command from the VMANAGER user ID.

Note: For more information about the VMSERVER command, see the CA Mainframe VM Product Manager Reference Guide. For more information about processing NAMES, see the Usage Notes in the help panel brought up by the HELP NAMES command.

PPFname	The Product Parameter File (PPF) and base component name associated with this product server. This tag is modified when upgrading to a newer product release.
Environment	‘primary’ or ‘alternate’ or ‘previous’ This tag is modified to select between two sets of deployed product disks. The selected set becomes active the next time the product is started. The deploy tag contains the tag names of disks defined as primary disks. The same tag names are prefixed by the string “alt” to form the names of the tags defining the alternate set of product disks. The same tag names are prefixed by the string "prev" to form the names of the tags defining the previous set of product disks.
