VMXBKP01 Utility

Use the VMXBKP01 EXEC to back up the CA VM:Director source directory minidisk (DRCT).

VMXBKP01 [END] [HOLD]

Authorization

Your user ID must have a GRANT record with BACKUP and MAY authorization in the AUTHORIZ CONFIG file. You must also have access to the following:

• The deployed administration minidisk, usually the VMDIRECT 176 disk, where the VMXBKP01 EXEC resides
• Public minidisk where the VMDIRECT MODULE resides

Definitions

[END]

Invokes the END command when VMXBKP01 is finished and brings down CA VM:Director.

[HOLD]

Causes VMXBKP01 to include users on the HOLD minidisk in the backup. Users on both the DRCT and HOLD minidisks are put in the USER DIRECT file.

Description

Each directory entry file on the DRCT minidisk is appended to a temporary file containing a DIRECT directory control statement. After all directory entries are appended, the temporary file is renamed to USER DIRECT. VMXBKP01 copies the USER DIRECT file to the A‑disk or the first read/write disk accessed and erases the BKUP minidisk, because all recent changes are now backed up in the USER DIRECT file.

The VMXBKP01 utility supports the INCLUDE directory statement.

Note: The old options NOTAPE, PROF and NOPROF are allowed for compatibility with older releases but are ignored. Directory profiles are always included in the USER DIRECT file created. This compatibility support should not be expected to continue in the future. Remove these old options.
