DRM provides default settings for the preparation of the recovery plan file and for the management of offsite recovery media. However, you can override these default settings. To query the settings, issue the following command:
query drmstatus
The output will be similar to the following:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Recovery Plan Prefix: /u/recovery/plans/rpp | | Plan Instructions Prefix: /u/recovery/plans/source/ | | Replacement Volume Postfix: @ | | Primary Storage Pools: PRIM1 PRIM2 | | Copy Storage Pools: COPY* | | Not Mountable Location Name: Local | | Courier Name: Joe's Courier Service | | Vault Site Name: Ironvault, D.

The following table describes how to set defaults for the
disaster recovery plan file.
Table 31. Defaults for the Disaster Recovery Plan File
Primary storage pools to be processed |
When the recovery plan file is generated, you can limit processing to specified pools. The default at installation: All primary storage pools. To change the default: SET DRMPRIMSTGPOOL For example, to specify that only the primary storage pools named PRIM1 and PRIM2 are to be processed, enter: set drmprimstgpool prim1,prim2
To override the default: Specify primary storage pool names in the PREPARE command | ||
Copy storage pools to be processed |
When the recovery plan file is generated, you can limit processing to specified pools. The default at installation: All copy storage pools. To change the default: SET DRMCOPYSTGPOOL For example, to specify that only the copy storage pools named COPY1 and COPY2 are to be processed, enter: set drmcopystgpool copy1,copy2 Notes:
To override the default: Specify copy storage pool names
in the PREPARE command
| ||
Identifier for replacement volume names | To restore a primary storage pool volume, mark the original volume
destroyed and create a replacement volume having a unique
name. You can specify a character to be appended to the name of the
original volume in order to create a name for the replacement volume.
This character can help you find the replacement volume names in the disaster
recovery plan. For details about the restore process, see How Restore Processing Works.
The default identifier at installation: @ To change the default: SET DRMPLANVPOSTFIX For example, to use the character r, enter: set drmplanvpostfix r | ||
Recovery instructions prefix | You can specify a prefix for the names of the recovery instructions
source files in the recovery plan file.
The default at installation: For a description of how DRM determines the default prefix, see the INSTRPREFIX parameter of the PREPARE command section in the Administrator's Reference or enter HELP PREPARE from administrative client command line. To set a default: SET DRMINSTRPREFIX For example, to specify the prefix as /u/recovery/plans/rpp, enter: set drminstrprefix /u/recovery/plans/rpp The disaster recovery plan file will include, for example, the following file: /u/recovery/plans/rpp.RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.GENERAL To override the default: The INSTRPREFIX parameter with the PREPARE command | ||
Prefix for the recovery plan file | You can specify a prefix to the path name of the recovery plan
file. DRM uses this prefix to identify the location of the recovery
plan file and to generate the macros and script file names included in the
RECOVERY.SCRIPT.DISASTER.RECOVERY.MODE and
RECOVERY.SCRIPT.NORMAL.MODERECOVERY.DRMODE and
RECOVERY.NMODE stanzas.
The default at installation: For a description of how DRM determines the default prefix, see the PLANPREFIX parameter of the PREPARE command section in the Administrator's Reference or enter HELP PREPARE from administrative client command line. To change the default: SET DRMPLANPREFIX For example, to specify the prefix as /u/server/recoveryplans/, enter: set drmplanprefix /u/server/recoveryplans/ The disaster recovery plan file name created by PREPARE processing will be in the following format: /u/server/recoveryplans/20000603.013030 To override the default: The PLANPREFIX parameter with the PREPARE command | ||
The disaster recovery plan expiration period | You can set the numbers of days after creation that a disaster recovery
plan file stored on a target server expires. After the number of days
has elapsed, all recovery plan files that meet both of the following
conditions are eligible for expiration:
The default at installation: 60 days To change the default: SET DRMRPFEXPIREDAYS For example, to change the time to 90 days, enter: set drmrpfexpiredays 90 |

offsite recovery media management.
