Use SMAPP to protect access paths for independent disk pools.
When you use SMAPP to protect access paths in independent disk pools, you can specify the recovery time individually for each independent disk pool. This improves the performance when you vary on your independent disk pool after an abnormal vary off.
The recovery time that you specify moves with the independent disk pool if you switch it between systems. Therefore if you are switching an independent disk pool between systems, you only need to specify the recovery time once.
The only time the specified recovery time is not moved is when the system you are moving the independent disk pool to has its system recovery time specified as *OFF. In this case the independent disk pool's recovery time is set to *NONE when you vary on the independent disk pool.
