This section presents an overview of the steps you must perform to configure CA View to use the CA View EMC Centera Option. Some of these steps are explained in detail in the sections that follow.
- Use the CENTADDR SARINIT initialization parameter to specify a comma-separated string of IP addresses or DNS names for Centera access nodes.
The Centera API uses these addresses when it connects to the Centera pool.
Note: For more information about the Centera initialization parameters, see the chapter Initialization Parameters.
- Optionally use the CENTPDSN SARINIT initialization parameter to specify the data set name of the Centera Pool Entry Authorization (PEA) data set.
This data set is only required if the default Centera access profile is being overridden.
The file is created on the Centera and uploaded to the mainframe.
Note: For more information about creating and using PEA files, contact EMC Centera technical support.
- Use the CENTNAME SARINIT initialization parameter to specify the four‑character subsystem name of the SARCAS server task.
- Use the DSK2DAYS SARINIT parameter to specify the default number of days a report is to remain on Primary disk before it is eligible to be migrated to Secondary disk storage.
Note: The ERO table allows you to override this default at the report level.
- Customize migration scheduling with the following SARINIT parameters:
- DSK2MIGD
- DSK2TIME
- DSK2INTV
Note: By default, the CA View backup cycle performs all migration.
- Run SARINIT to implement your initialization parameter settings to the database.
- Set DSK2DAYS in the ERO table (with disk and tape migration options) to override the SARINIT DSK2DAYS default. This keyword allows you to customize DSK2DAYS at the report level.
- Set D2RETPD in the ERO table to specify the Secondary disk retention for this report. Customize the SARCAS server JCL and parameters. Additional information about this procedure is discussed in the sections that follow.
