Identifying SFS File Pools

Identify all SFS file pools to CA VM:Backup before you include them in backup or restore jobs. If CA VM:Backup is interfaced with other products, such as CA VM:Archiver, identify the file pools that CA VM:Backup must access on behalf of these products. For example, you must identify all file pools from which CA VM:Archiver users can archive data and to which users can restore data.

To identify SFS file pools to CA VM:Backup, from the Manage Configuration Options menu, select Option 4, Identify SFS file pools. CA VM:Backup displays the Identify SFS File Pools screen. On this screen, enter the names of the file pools.

When you identify file pools through this screen, CA VM:Backup recognizes them immediately. You do not need to reinitialize CA VM:Backup for the new definitions to take effect.

Note: For information about updating the VMBACKUP CONFIG file to configure this option, see the "FILEPOOL Record" section in the System Programmer Reference Guide.
