Activating a management set

After you have created or changed a snapshot template in a management set and saved it in the repository, you can activate the management set to begin using it for a snapshot job.

This procedure describes the different methods of activating a management set. Any number of management sets can be active at the same time. To process snapshots, XBM uses the management set that was most recently activated.

You can use one of the following methods to activate an existing management set:

File action bar
Action code
Console action bar
ACTIVATE MANAGEMENT SET command

To activate a management set by using the File action bar

On the File List panel, select the management set that you want to activate.
Choose File > Activate and press Enter to activate the management set.

To activate a management set by using the action code

On the File List panel, type 2 (Activate) in the action field of the management set that you want to activate.
Press Enter to activate the management set.

To activate a management set by using the Console action bar
