Starting CA VM:Backup Using the VMBSYS Command

You can start CA VM:Backup by entering the VMBSYS command on the CA VM:Backup service virtual machine console. You can use VMBSYS without options to perform a routine initialization, as in Starting CA VM:Backup. You can also use the VMBSYS command with the options described in this section to do the following at initialization:

• Suppress catalog verification
• Prevent all jobs from starting
• Convert catalog index files
• Suppress restart recovery
• Rebuild catalog index files to improve catalog performance

Note: If you plan to start CA VM:Backup using VMBSYS with certain options on a regular basis, see the "Server Startup Command" section in the CA Mainframe VM Product Manager Reference Guide.
