The following options and arguments are used with many of the commands described in this topic. If an option or argument is not described with a command in the text, a description of it appears here. (See Part 2 of this guide and reference for complete details about each command.)
· The -family fileset_family_name option is the name of the fileset family to be used in the command. To make it easier to track the contents of a fileset family, its name should give some indication of the contents of the fileset entries it contains (for example, user for the fileset family that includes all user filesets in the file system).
· The -level dump_level option is the name of the dump level to be used in the command. The complete pathname of a dump level must always be specified. There are two types of dump levels:
- Full dumps, which consist of a name preceded by a single / (slash); for example, /full.
- Incremental dumps, which consist of multiple elements that resemble a pathname listing the dump levels that serve as the parents of the dump level, starting with a full dump level and proceeding in order down the hierarchy; for example, /full/weekly/monday.
· The -tcid tc_number option is the TCID of the Tape Coordinator to be used for the command. Legal values are integers from 0 (zero) to 1023. If this option is omitted, the Tape Coordinator with a TCID of 0 is used to execute the command by default.
