XBMID ssid or XBMID xbmGroup

The XBMID option specifies the 

EXTENDED BUFFER MANAGER

 (

XBM

) subsystem ID ( ssid) or XBM group name (xbmGroup) to use when you restore Instant Snapshot copies or when you use the zIIP redirection capability.

ssid is the unique identifier that you specified when you installed XBM. If you are using XBM in a Db2 data sharing environment, you can use thexbmGroup name in place ofssid. The xbmGroup value is the name of the XBM coupling facility group defined to the XBM subsystem.

For the zIIP redirection capability, if you specify an XBM subsystem and ZIIP ENABLED (ZIIP and ZIIP-ENABLED) is in effect, BMC AMI Recover attempts to use that subsystem to enable zIIP processing. If that subsystem is not available or if it is not at the correct maintenance level, zIIP processing is not enabled.

If you do not specify an XBM subsystem either with XBMID on the OPTION command or with the XBMID installation option, BMC AMI Recover searches for an XBM subsystem at the appropriate maintenance level to enable zIIP processing.

For recovery using Instant Snapshots, BMC AMI Recover does not discover the XBM subsystem. Use the XBMID option in either the installation options module or on the OPTION statement to specify it. Instant Snapshots are made by BMC AMI Copy with XBM and are registered in BMCXCOPY. For more information, see theBMC AMI Copy for Db2 documentation.

You use XBMID on the OPTION command to override the XBMID installation option (see XBMID-ssid-or-xbmGroup).

For specific information about valid characters for XBMID and the pattern matching capabilities of XBM, Instant Snapshots, and zIIP redirection, see theSNAPSHOT UPGRADE FEATURE documentation.
