press F1. DSM/SCM displays the Verify Database - Submit Request screen.
2. From the Verify Database - Submit Request screen, press F1 to submit the request. DSM/SCM
displays the Processing Verification screen, which shows status information about the progress
of the request:
•
The screen is updated with current status information every 15 seconds.
• While waiting for the request to finish, to view current request-related EMS messages,
press F4.
• You cannot submit any other DSM/SCM requests while a Verify Database request is
running.
When the Verify Database request finishes successfully, DSM/SCM displays an informational
message.
NOTE: If $DATA00 is a scratch volume, Verify Database stops in restartable mode giving
an EMS message that no scratch volumes are configured on the target system.
Define at least one scratch volume using the Target Maintenance and restart the Verify Database
activity.
After successful completion of Verify Database, update the volume usage information using
the ZPHIHMI also.
If $DATA00 is an archive volume, after successful completion of Verify Database, update the
volume usage information using the ZPHITMI and ZPHIHMI.
For more information, see “Updating the Volume Usage” (page 151) .
Creating an Independent Snapshot of the Target System
A snapshot of a target system provides current target database information to transfer to the host
system and receive into the host database. With current information about the target contents,
DSM/SCM can keep the host and target databases synchronized, which is crucial to effective
system configuration management. You should create a snapshot after most DSM/SCM tasks on
a target. A snapshot includes:
• The physical target name
• The SYSnn and configuration name of each logical target on the target system
• The TSV locations associated with each logical target
• File attributes, including fingerprints of each managed file on the target system
• Activity records from the target system
• The target’s EMS messages
• Target system profile information
• Disk and tape device locations on the target system
• Name and timestamp of when the snapshot was generated
