AIM Set Properties

The Properties dialog box can be used to create an AIM set for a selected source virtual volume and to configure services to be performed automatically. The Properties dialog box only allows a single source to destination assignment. To assign multiple destinations for one source, refer to Creating an AIM Set.

For each source volume, follow these steps on the AIM source system to select the destination site and volume:

  1. Open AIM Source Manager and select the AIM Source Volumes component in the tree.  

  2. In the right pane, select a source volume to configure and choose Properties from the context menu.

  3. In the Properties dialog box, in the Configuration area, select the following from the pull-down menus:

    1. Destination Name – the name of the storage server used when assigning the destination system.

    2. Destination Volume – the name of the virtual volume to be used as the destination.

  4. In the Automatic Setting area, select Flush, Snapshot, or User-Defined Marker from the Type pull-down menu.  Enter Start Time and Interval in the appropriate fields. Refer to Setting Up Services and Commands for more information.
