$ EDT MODPARAMS.DAT
ALLOCLASS=101
SHADOWING=2
SHADOW_SYS_DISK=1
SHADOW_SYS_UNIT=0
SHADOW_MAX_COPY=2
SHADOW_SYS_TMO=20
then run autogen and reboot. The above configuration is for a
shadow set of 2 disks with "DKA0" being the primary member.
When rebooted, mount the 2nd member with
$ MOUNT/SYSTEM/NOASSIST DSA0:/SHADOW=($101$DKA0,$101$DKA100) SHADOW1
of course you substitute in your allocation class and drive names
accordingly. There is a shadow doc set you can buy when you
purchase a shadow license, which I assume you have. The secondary
member will build with a copy operation, and you can see the
status with "SHOW DEVICE".
