Alternate recovery resource options

When you use the OUTCOPY YES feature of BMC AMI Recovery Manager to make backups after a recovery, you can select which resources (image copies, logs, and change accumulation files) should be used as a basis for the new copies.

The order in which you rank these alternate resources determines which resource is used. If the first choice is not available, BMC AMI Recovery Manager falls back to the second choice. If you set a choice to zero, BMC AMI Recovery Manager does not use the resource.

Important

If you do not specify any order for the alternate resources, BMC AMI Recovery Manager uses the BMC AMI Recovery Manager default values. For more information, see the Recovery Management for Db2 documentation

The Alternate Resource Selection panel lets you specify the recovery resources to be used in the recovery and the order in which they should be used.

                   RB. . . _ 1, 2, 3, 4 or 0     (Recovery backup)

 For example, if your practices include taking a local site backup image copy and a secondary copy of the archive log to a recovery site (instead of offsite copies), you can select those resources when you use this procedure at the recovery site.

Important

If you select the RP or RB copy as your first choice for the image copy, BMC AMI Recovery Manager considers the site type to be RECOVER. This value overrides any other site type setting you make, including the site type specified in ARMBGEN and ARMBGPV syntax.
