Saving PowerHA policies

Use the Save HA Policy (SAVHAPCY) command to save instances of a PowerHA policy

The Save High Availability (HA) Policy (SAVHAPCY) command is used to save HA policies. Users can save all HA policies or specific policy groups and instances.

Policy information is saved in comma-separated value (CSV) format in an integrated file system (IFS) file on the local cluster node.

The Save HA Policy command screen can be accessed by:

• Typing the SAVHAPCY command and pressing F4 to open the Save HA Policy (SAVHAPCY) screen.

• Using the Work with Cluster (WRKCLU) command menu. Select option 12, Work with HA policies. Press Enter to open the Work with HA Policies screen. Locate an HA policy name and type 9, Save and press Enter to open the Save HA Policy (SAVHAPCY) screen.

• Entering the WRKHAPCY command that opens the Work with HA Policies screen. Locate an HA policy name and type 9, Save and press Enter to open the Save HA Policy (SAVHAPCY) screen.

Saving all PowerHA Policies to a File

To save the information of all PowerHA policies using a command, enter the following command:

SAVHAPCY PCYFILE('/home/myuser/pcy_backup.csv')

This saves the defined values for all PowerHA policies in the cluster to a file called test.csv.

Saving Individual Instances of a Specified Policy

Save individual instances of specified policies to a file by entering the following command:

SAVHAPCY PCYFILE('/home/myuser/pcy_backup2.csv') PCY(QCST_CRG_CANCEL_FAILOVER) QUAL('SCOPE(*SITE)')

This saves all instances of the QCST_CRG_CANCEL_FAILOVER policy with the qualifier scope of *SITE to a file called test1.csv.
