Specifying the VTOC size

When a host accesses a volume, the volume table of contents (VTOC) in the volume changes to
include updated access logs.

Prerequisites

Volume has Read Only attribute.

Volume is not for a VM minidisk.

Procedure 12 To specify the VTOC size:

1.

Click Action > Mainframe Connection > Volume Retention to open the Volume Retention
window.

2.

Select an LDKC number from the LDKC list and a group that a CU belongs to from the CU
Group list.

The tree displays a list of CUs in the specified CU group.

3.

Select a CU from the tree.

The table displays a list of volumes in the specified CU.

4.

From the table, select one or more volumes that have Read Only attributes and right-click the
selection.

A pop-up menu is displayed.

5.

From the pop-up menu, select VTOC.

The VTOC Area dialog box appears.

6.

Use the End (CC:HH) text boxes to specify the ending position of the VTOC. The text box on
the left enables you to enter the cylinder number. The text box on the right enables you to
enter the head number. The starting position of the VTOC is always 0:1 to indicate the cylinder
number 0 and the head number 1. This number cannot be changed.

7.

Click OK to close the VTOC Area dialog box.

CAUTION:

At this point, the change to the VTOC size has not been applied to the storage

system.

8.

Click Apply in the Volume Retention Manager window.

The settings are now applied to the storage system.
