Verify Image Catalog After Backup

The default control group processing for control group QNFSIPLFUL will run a VFYIMGCLG for the optical image catalog associated with the backup. 

The VFYIMGCLG is performed prior to saving the image files using the device and Media Policy attributes assigned to the QNFSSYSFUL control group.  This operation prepares the image catalog with a volume list file used by the virtual optical device on the client system as part of the NFS install requirements. 

Running VFYIMGCLG can be a long process that can be delayed until the image files have been restored on the system used to host the NFS server. To improve the backup performance of control group QNFSIPLFUL and delay the VFYIMGCLG processing until restore time, use the following commands:

To Enable:

In 5770-BR1 releases prior to 7.5:

CALL QBRM/Q1AOLD PARM('SETUPFUN  ' '*SET    ' 'Q1ANOVFY' '*JOB')    - set up to for current job only

In releases 5770-BR2 7.4, 5770-BR2 7.5, and 5770-BR1 7.5 and later:

SETFCNBRM ACTION(*ADD) FUNCTION(NOVFY) SCOPE(*JOB) - set up to for current job only

SETFCNBRM ACTION(*ADD) FUNCTION(NOVFY) SCOPE(*SYS) - set up to affect all jobs

To Remove:

In 5770-BR1 releases prior to 7.5:

CALL QBRM/Q1AOLD PARM('SETUPFUN  ' '*REMOVE ' 'Q1ANOVFY' '*JOB') - remove for current job only

CALL QBRM/Q1AOLD PARM('SETUPFUN  ' '*REMOVE ' 'Q1ANOVFY' '*SYS')  - remove for all jobs

In releases 5770-BR2 7.4, 5770-BR2 7.5, and 5770-BR1 7.5 and later:
