About this publication
IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager is a client/server program that provides storage
management solutions to customers in a multi-vendor computer environment. IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager provides an automated, centrally scheduled,
policy-managed backup, archive, and space-management facility for file servers
and workstations.
This publication provides you with the commands and options that you can use to
manage the Tivoli Storage Manager server.
Who should read this publication

This reference is intended for anyone who is registered as an administrator. A
single administrator can manage Tivoli Storage Manager, or several people can
share administrative responsibilities.
You should be familiar with the operating system on which the server resides and
the communication protocols required for the client/server environment. You also
need to understand the storage management practices of your organization, such
as how you are currently backing up workstation files and how you are using
storage devices.
Publications
The Tivoli Storage Manager product family includes IBM Tivoli Storage
FlashCopy® Manager, IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management, IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager for Databases, and several other storage management
products from IBM Tivoli.

v Command to be entered on the Oracle Solaris command line:
> dsmadmc
v Command to be entered on the command line of an administrative client:
query devclass
In the usage and descriptions for administrative commands, the term characters
corresponds to the number of bytes available to store an item. For languages in
which it takes a single byte to represent a displayable character, the character to
byte ratio is 1 to 1. However, for DBCS and other multi-byte languages, the
reference to characters refers only to the number of bytes available for the item and
may represent fewer actual characters.

xiv IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Oracle Solaris: Administrator's Reference
New for IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1
Many features in the Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1 server are new for
previous Tivoli Storage Manager users.
New in this release

New features and other changes, including fixes for problems, are available in the
Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.1 server.
Tivoli Monitoring for Tivoli Storage Manager updates

Tivoli Monitoring for Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1 includes updated
components and a new dashboard to view Cognos® reports.
IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Tivoli Storage Manager includes the following changes
in version 7.1:
v You can use the Dashboard Application Services Hub web interface to access
Tivoli Common Reporting.
v New Cognos reports are available:
– Storage pool deduplication savings
– Disk utilization trends
v The existing BIRT reports that were available in previous releases are available
as Cognos reports.
v You can now restrict communications to use the Transport Layer Security (TLS)
1.2 protocol. For your system to be in compliance with the NIST SP800-131A
security standard, you must specify KSK_SSL_DISABLE_LEGACY_TLS=1 in the agent
instance environment file.
Updates for the Tivoli Storage Manager server component

New features are available in the Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.1 server
component.
Recover damaged files from a replication server

With Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.1, you can use node replication processing
to recover damaged files. When this feature is enabled, the system detects any
damaged files on a source replication server and replaces them with undamaged
files from a target replication server.
You can enable this feature for specific client nodes. When you use the REGISTER
NODE command to define a node, or the UPDATE NODE command to update a node,
you can specify whether data from damaged files is recovered automatically
during the replication process.
In addition to configuring nodes for file recovery, you can override the file
recovery setting that is specified for a node. By specifying a parameter on the
REPLICATE NODE command for a single replication instance, you can start a process
that replicates the node and recovers damaged files. Alternatively, you can start a
replication process for the sole purpose of recovering damaged files.
© Copyright IBM Corp. 1993, 2014 xv

To use this feature, you must install Tivoli Storage Manager V7.1.1 on the source
and target replication servers, and ensure that file recovery is enabled.

Manage replicated data with policies that are defined on the

target replication server
With Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.1, you can use the policies that are
defined on the target replication server to manage replicated client-node data
independently from the source replication server. In previous releases, client node
data on the target replication server was managed by policies on the source
replication server.
When this feature is enabled, you can use the policies on the target replication
server to complete the following tasks:
v Maintain more or fewer versions of replicated backup files between the source
and target replication servers.
v Retain replicated archive files for more or less time on the target replication
server than they are being maintained on the source replication server.
If you keep fewer versions of files or retain files for less time on the target
replication server, you can reduce the amount of storage that is required for this
server.
To use this feature, you must install Tivoli Storage Manager V7.1.1 on the source
and target replication servers. Then, you must verify the differences between the
policies for client nodes on the source and target replication servers. Finally, you
can enable the policies on the target replication server.

manage replicated data)” on page 1093
Restrict SSL protocols to TLS 1.2 or later

With Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.1, you can prevent the use of Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols earlier than TLS 1.2 with the new server option,
SSLDISABLELEGACYTLS.
The SSLDISABLELEGACYTLS option specifies whether to use protocols earlier than

Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) sessions between
the server and the backup-archive client or storage agent.
xvi IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Oracle Solaris: Administrator's Reference
Use offline reorganization of tables and indexes
With Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.1, you can reorganize indexes and tables
offline to maintain server stability and improve database performance. To enable
this feature, set the DISABLEREORGTABLE, DISABLEREORGINDEX, and
DISABLEREORGCLEANUPINDEX server options.
You can specify these server options in the dsmserv.opt file to resolve the
following issues:
v Delays when you reorganize tables, which prevents reorganization on other
tables.
v Server that halts because the active log becomes full during index
reorganization.
v Server applications cancel when you use reorganization to resolve deadlocks.
Compress archive logs

With Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.1, you can enable or disable compression
of the archive log files that are written to the archive log directory. By compressing
the archive log files, you reduce the amount of space that is required to store them.
To enable or disable compression of the archive log files, set the ARCHLOGCOMPRESS
server option in the dsmserv.opt file.
Related reference:
“ARCHLOGCOMPRESS” on page 1461
Compress database backups

With Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.1, you can choose which Tivoli Storage
Manager database backups are compressed.
To enable this feature, specify the COMPRESS parameter on the BACKUP DB or SET
DBRECOVERY commands.
The size of the Tivoli Storage Manager database has increased with the use of data
deduplication. As a result, the space requirements for the database backups also
increased. By compressing volumes that are created during database backups, you
reduce the amount of space that is required for your database backups.
Verify tape volumes

You can now audit any volume in a tape library by using the AUDIT LIBVOLUME
command, which is available in Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.1 for some
library types and tape drives. When this command is issued, an entire physical
tape volume is audited instead of just a storage pool volume.
With the AUDIT LIBVOLUME command, you can determine if a volume is intact. The
verification process is completed by the tape drive. If errors are detected, you can
use the AUDIT VOLUME command to fix storage pool volumes on the tape.
For information about supported library types and drives, and details on using the
AUDIT LIBVOLUME command, see the server reference information.

Validate pages during database backup processing
Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.1 uses IBM DB2® database technology to
validate database pages during database backup processing.
Best practices for Version 7.1

Learn about best practices that you can implement for the Tivoli Storage Manager
Version 7.1 server and client.
| Maximum daily capability for data deduplication

| You can deduplicate data for a single Tivoli Storage Manager server up to a
| recommended daily maximum amount of 30 TB, or the amount that is outlined for
| your blueprint configuration.
| The maximum daily amount includes the following processes that are typical of a
| daily server cycle:
| v Ingesting client data on the server
| v Deduplicating the client data that is ingested on the server
| v Creating a second copy of the data
| v Reclaiming data
| v Expiring data
| v Removing references to extents
| You can deduplicate the maximum daily amount of data by using client-side data
| deduplication with optimized hardware, such as Solid-State Drives for the
| database, and overlapping of some server processes during a 24-hour workload.
Server startup and setting ulimits

Before you start the Tivoli Storage Manager server, verify access rights and user
limits, also known as ulimits.
If you do not verify user limits, the server might become unstable or fail to
respond. Set the ulimit value as 65536 for the maximum number of open files.
Ensure that the system-wide limit is at least the value of the ulimit.
Duplicate identification processes and memory requirements

To get the best performance for your data deduplication processes, you can specify
an increased number of duplicate identification processes.
When you create a storage pool for data deduplication, you can now specify 0 - 50
parallel processes for server-side duplicate identification.
You can use additional memory to optimize the frequent access of deduplicate
extent information that is stored in the Tivoli Storage Manager database.

Configuring the server to prevent issues with database
backups
With Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1, it is no longer necessary to set the API
password when you manually configure the server. If you set the API password
during the manual configuration process, attempts to back up the database might
fail.

| Chapter 1. Managing the server from the command line

| Tivoli Storage Manager provides several different command-line interfaces for
| managing Tivoli Storage Manager servers.
| About this task
| The following command-line interfaces are available:

| Administrative command-line client
| The administrative command-line client is a program that runs on a file
| server, workstation, or mainframe. It is installed as part of the Tivoli
| Storage Manager server installation process. The administrative client can
| be accessed remotely.
| From the administrative client, you can issue any server commands.
| Server console
| The server console is a command-line window on the system where the
| server is installed. Therefore, to use the server console, you must be at the
| physical location of the server system.
| Compared to the administrative client, the capabilities of the server console
| are limited. From the server console, you cannot issue certain commands,
| and you cannot route commands to other servers. Also, you cannot specify
| that certain commands process before other commands can be issued.
| However, this limitation can be useful if, for example, you want to run two
| commands in quick succession.
| Operations Center command line
| From the Operations Center, you can access the Tivoli Storage Manager
| command line. You might want to use this command line to issue server
| commands to complete certain Tivoli Storage Manager tasks that are not
| supported in the Operations Center.
| Server scripts provide for automation of common administrative tasks. A macro is

| a file that contains one or more Tivoli Storage Manager administrative commands.
| When you issue the MACRO command, the server processes all commands in the
| macro file in order, including commands that are contained in any nested macros.
| For information about scripts and macros, see the Administrator's Guide.
|
| Issuing commands from the administrative client
| The administrative command-line client is a program that runs on a file server,
| workstation, or mainframe.
| About this task
| Ensure that your administrative client and your server are running in compatible
| languages. See “LANGUAGE” on page 1500 for language and locale options. If
| your client and server are using different languages, the messages that Tivoli
| Storage Manager generates might not be understandable.
© Copyright IBM Corp. 1993, 2014 1

| Note: Text strings that are sent from the client to the server do not depend on the
| server language setting. The text will be displayed properly if the administrative
| client runs in the same locale when sending the string and when receiving the
| string.
| For example, assume that you update a node contact field with a value that
| contains national characters (update node myNode contact=NLcontact_info), and
| later query the node (query node myNode format=detailed). If the client is running
| in the same locale when you update as when you query, the NLcontact_info will
| display properly. If you update the node contact field when the client is running in
| one locale, and query the node when the client is running in a different locale, it is
| possible that the NLcontact_info will not display properly.
| Starting and stopping the administrative client

| Use the DSMADMC command to start an administrative client session.
| About this task
| The Tivoli Storage Manager server must be running before an administrative client
| can connect. For instructions about starting the server, see the Installation Guide.
| To start an administrative client session in command-line mode, enter this

| command on your workstation:
| dsmadmc -id=admin -password=admin -dataonly=yes
| Note: If you do not want to be prompted for a user ID and password, enter the
| DSMADMC command with the -ID and -PASSWORD options as shown.
| Stop an administrative command-line client session by entering the following

| command on your workstation:
| quit
| To interrupt a DSMADMC command before Tivoli Storage Manager has finished

| processing, use the UNIX kill -9 command from an available command prompt.
| Do not press Ctrl+C because, while it ends the session, it can lead to unexpected
| results.
| Monitoring server activities from the administrative client

| To monitor Tivoli Storage Manager activities, such as server migration and client
| logons, run the administrative client in console mode. You cannot enter any
| administrative commands in console mode.
| About this task
| To start an administrative client session in console mode, enter:

| dsmadmc -consolemode
| You are prompted for a password if authentication is turned on for the server. If
| you do not want to be prompted for your user ID and password, enter the DSMADMC
| command with the -ID and -PASSWORD options.
| To end an administrative client session in console mode, see Table 1 on page 3.
2 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Oracle Solaris: Administrator's Reference

| Table 1. Keyboard break sequences
| Environment Break Sequence
| UNIX-based and Linux clients Ctrl+C
| Windows Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Break
|
| Monitoring removable-media mounts from the administrative

| client
| To monitor the mounting and dismounting of removable media, run the
| administrative client in mount mode. When the client is running in mount mode,
| you cannot enter any administrative commands.
| About this task
| To start an administrative client session in mount mode, enter:

| dsmadmc -mountmode
| You are prompted for a password if authentication is turned on for the server. If
| you do not want to be prompted for your user ID and password, enter the
| DSMADMC command with the -ID and -PASSWORD options.
| To end an administrative client session in mount mode, see Table 1.
| Processing individual commands from the administrative

| client
| Use batch mode to enter a single administrative command. Your administrative
| client session automatically ends when the command is processed.
| About this task
| To start an administrative client session in batch mode, enter:

| dsmadmc server_command
| If you do not want to be prompted for your user ID and password, you can enter
| the DSMADMC command with the -ID and -PASSWORD options.
| In batch mode, you must enter the complete command on one line. If a command
| does not fit on one line, enter the command by using a macro or a script. If you
| specify a parameter with a string of text using batch mode, enclose the text in
| single quotation marks (' ') in the macro. Do not use double quotation marks for
| commands in batch mode, because your operating system might not parse the
| quotation marks correctly.
| Processing a series of commands from the administrative

| client
| Use the interactive mode to process a series of administrative commands.
| About this task
| To start an administrative client session in interactive mode, a server session must

| be available. To ensure the availability of server sessions for both administrative
| and client node sessions, the interactive mode of the administrative client is
| disconnected if one or more of the following conditions is true:
Chapter 1. Managing the server from the command line 3

| v The server was stopped using the HALT command.
| v Commands were not issued from the administrative client session for the length
| of time specified with the IDLETIMEOUT server option.
| v The administrative client session was canceled with the CANCEL SESSION
| command.
| You can use continuation characters when using interactive mode. For more
| information, see “Using continuation characters to enter long commands” on page
| 13.
| To start an administrative session in interactive mode, enter:

| dsmadmc
| Do not enter a server command with the DSMADMC command. Doing so will
| start the administrative client in batch, not interactive, mode. For example, do not
| enter:
| dsmadmc server_command
| You can automatically restart your administrative client session by entering

| another command each time the tsm: servername > prompt appears.
| Formatting output from commands

| Tivoli Storage Manager formats the output processed from commands according to
| your screen or window width.
| About this task
| If the width of your screen or window is not wide enough to display the output
| horizontally, Tivoli Storage Manager arranges and displays the information
| vertically.
| You can format the output of QUERY commands using the DISPLAYMODE and
| OUTFILE administrative client options.
| Saving command output to a specified location

| The most common use for redirecting output is to save the output from query
| commands to a specified file or program. You can then browse the contents of the
| file or, in some cases, print the contents.
| About this task
| Some platforms support redirection of output using special characters such as >,
| >>, and |. You can save the output from a command by entering redirection
| characters at the end of the command. Redirection characters direct the output of a
| command to a file or program you specify instead of to your screen. To redirect
| output, leave a blank between the redirection character and the file or program
| name. See the following examples.
| Note: When redirecting output, follow the naming conventions of the operating
| system running your administrative client.

|| If you want to: Enter this:
|| Redirect the output of a dsmadmc -id=xxx -pa=xxx query domain acctg > dominfo.acc
| QUERY DOMAIN command
| to a new file in batch or A single greater-than sign (>) indicates that Tivoli Storage
| interactive mode Manager redirects the output to a new file or writes over an
| existing file.
|| Append the output of a dsmadmc -id=xxx -pa=xxx query domain acctg >> dominfo.acc
| QUERY DOMAIN command
| to the end of an existing Double greater-than signs (>>) indicates that Tivoli Storage
| file in batch or Manager appends the output to the end of an existing file.
| interactive mode
|| Redirect all output from dsmadmc -console -id=admin -password=xxx | filter.exe
| an administrative client
| session in console mode The program can be set up to monitor the output for individual
| to a program called messages as they occur and take appropriate action, such as
| filter.exe sending mail to another user.
|
| You can also redirect all output to a specified file by specifying the -OUTFILE
| option with a destination file name. For example, enter:
| dsmadmc -id=sullivan -password=secret -consolemode -outfile=save.out
| Administrative client options

| In all administrative client modes, you can use options to modify administrative
| client session responses.
| DSMADMC
|
DSMADMC
admin_client_option server_command
|
| Here is an example of a task and how to use the administrative client options: You
| can enter the DSMADMC command with your user ID and password by using the -ID
| and -PASSWORD options so that you are not prompted for that information. To have
| Tivoli Storage Manager redirect all output to a file, specify the -OUTFILE option
| with a destination file name. For example, to issue the QUERY NODE command in
| batch mode with the output redirected to the SAVE.OUT file, enter:
| dsmadmc -id=sullivan -password=secret -outfile=save.out query node
| Options
| Administrative client options can be specified with the DSMADMC command and are
| valid from an administrative client session only. You can type an option in
| uppercase letters, lowercase letters, or any combination. Uppercase letters denote
| the shortest acceptable abbreviation. If an option appears entirely in uppercase
| letters, you cannot abbreviate it.
| -ALWAYSPrompt
| Specifies that a command prompt is displayed if the input is from the
| keyboard or if it is redirected (for example, from a file). If this option is not
| specified and the input is redirected, the command prompt is not written.

| If the input is redirected, only the command output is displayed. If this option
| is specified, the command prompt and the command output are displayed.
| -CHECKAliashalt
| Allows the administrative client to recognize an alias for the HALT command as
| set in the ALIASHALT server option. See “ALIASHALT” on page 1457 for
| details.
| -COMMAdelimited
| Specifies that any tabular output from a server query is to be formatted as
| comma-separated strings rather than in readable format. This option is
| intended to be used primarily when redirecting the output of an SQL query
| (SELECT command). The comma-separated value format is a standard data
| format, which can be processed by many common programs, including
| spreadsheets, databases, and report generators.
| -CONsolemode
| Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager runs in console mode. Most server
| console output is echoed to your screen. The exception are items such as
| responses to query commands that are issued from the console, trace output,
| or any system messages that displayed on the console.
| -DATAONLY=NO or YES
| Specifies whether product version information and output headers display
| with the output. The default is NO.
| NO Specifies that the product version information and output column headers
| display.
| YES
| Suppresses the product version information and output column headers.
| -DISPLaymode=LISt or TABle
| You can force the QUERY output to tabular or list format regardless of the
| command-line window column width.
| If you are using the -DISPLAYMODE option and you want the output to go to a
| file, do not specify the -OUTFILE option. Use redirection to write to the file.
| -ID=userid
| Specifies the administrator's user ID.
| -Itemcommit
| Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager commits commands inside a script or a
| macro as each command is processed.
| -MOUNTmode
| Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager runs in mount mode. All server
| removable-media mount messages are echoed to your screen.
| -NEWLINEAFTERPrompt
| Specifies that a newline character is written after the command prompt and
| commands that are entered from the keyboard are displayed underneath the
| prompt. If this option is not specified, commands entered from the keyboard
| are displayed to the right side of the prompt.
| -NOConfirm
| Specifies that you do not want Tivoli Storage Manager to request confirmation
| before processing commands that affect the availability of the server or data
| that is managed by the server.
| -OUTfile
| Specifies that output from a server query is displayed in one row. If the output

| in a row exceeds the column width that is defined by the server, the output is
| displayed on multiple lines in that row. This option is available in batch mode
| only.
| -OUTfile=filename
| Specifies that output from a server query is redirected to a specified file. In
| batch mode, output is redirected to a file you specify and the format of the
| output matches the format of the output on your screen.
| In interactive, console, or mount mode sessions, output displays on your
| screen.
| -PAssword=password
| Specifies the administrator's password.
| -Quiet
| Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager does not display standard output
| messages to your screen. However, when you use this option, certain error
| messages still appear.
| -SErveraddress
| Specifies the server stanza in the dsm.sys file. The client uses the server stanza
| to determine the server it connects to. The SERVERADDRESS option is supported
| by administrative clients that are running on UNIX, Linux, and Macintosh
| operating systems only.
| -TABdelimited
| Specifies that any tabular output from a server query is to be formatted as
| tab-separated strings rather than in readable format. This option is intended to
| be used primarily when redirecting the output of an SQL query (SELECT
| command). The tab-separated value format is a standard data format, which
| can be processed by many common programs, including spreadsheets,
| databases, and report generators.
| -TCPPort
| Specifies a TCP/IP port address for a Tivoli Storage Manager server. The
| TCPPORT option is only supported by administrative clients that are running on
| Windows operating systems and is valid on the Windows administrative client
| command line.
| -TCPServeraddress
| Specifies a TCP/IP server address for a Tivoli Storage Manager server. The
| TCPSERVERADDRESS option is only supported by administrative clients that are
| running on Windows operating systems and is valid on the Windows
| administrative client command line.
| In addition to the options that are listed here, you can also specify any option that
| is in the client options file. Each option must be preceded with a hyphen and
| delimited with a space.

|
| Issuing commands from the Operations Center
| From the Operations Center command-line interface, you can issue commands to
| manage Tivoli Storage Manager servers that are configured as hub or spoke
| servers.
| Procedure
| To open the command-line interface, hover over the globe icon in the
| Operations Center menu bar, and click Command Line.
|
| Issuing commands from the server console
| Tivoli Storage Manager provides a user ID named SERVER_CONSOLE that allows
| you to issue commands and administer the server from the server console after
| Tivoli Storage Manager is installed. At installation, SERVER_CONSOLE is
| automatically registered as an administrator and is given system authority.
| About this task
| If you have system privilege, you can revoke or grant new privileges to the
| SERVER_CONSOLE user ID. However, you cannot:
| v Register or update the SERVER_CONSOLE user ID
| v Lock or unlock the SERVER_CONSOLE user ID
| v Rename the SERVER_CONSOLE user ID
| v Remove SERVER_CONSOLE user ID
| v Route commands from the SERVER_CONSOLE user ID
| Note: Not all Tivoli Storage Manager commands are supported by the server
| console. You cannot specify the WAIT parameter from the server console.
|
| Entering administrative commands
| Commands consist of command names and usually parameters and variables.
| Syntax diagrams depict the rules to follow when entering commands.
| About this task
| To display command-line help for server commands that have unique names, you
| can type help commandName, where commandName is the name of the server
| command for which you want information. For example, to display help for the
| REGISTER NODE command, type help register node. Command syntax and
| parameter descriptions are displayed in the output.
| You can also type help followed by the topic number for the command. Topic
| numbers are listed in the table of contents for command-line help, for example:
| 3.0 Administrative commands
| 3.46 REGISTER
| 3.46.1 REGISTER ADMIN (Register an administrator)
| 3.46.2 REGISTER LICENSE (Register a new license)
| 3.46.3 REGISTER NODE (Register a node)
| To display help about the REGISTER NODE command, type:

| help 3.46.3

| Use topic numbers to display command-line help for subcommands. DEFINE
| DEVCLASS is an example of a command that has subcommands. For example, you
| can specify the DEFINE DEVCLASS command for 3590 device classes and for 3592
| device classes:
| 3.0 Administrative commands
| ...
| 3.13.10 DEFINE DEVCLASS (Define a device class)
| 3.13.10.1 DEFINE DEVCLASS (Define a 3590 device class)
| 3.13.10.2 DEFINE DEVCLASS (Define a 3592 device class)
| ...
| To display help for the DEFINE DEVCLASS command for 3590 device classes, type:
| help 3.13.10.1
| Reading syntax diagrams

| To read a syntax diagram for entering a command, follow the path of the line.
| Read from left to right and from top to bottom.
| v The ─── symbol indicates the beginning of a syntax diagram.
| v The ─── symbol at the end of a line indicates that the syntax diagram continues
| onto the next line.
| v The ─── symbol at the beginning of a line indicates that a syntax diagram
| continues from the previous line.
| v The ─── symbol indicates the end of a syntax diagram.
| Command names
| The command name can consist of a single action word, such as HALT, or it can
| consist of an action word and an object for the action, such as DEFINE DOMAIN.
| You can enter the command in any column of the input line.
| Enter the entire command name or the abbreviation that is specified in the syntax
| diagram for the command. Uppercase letters denote the shortest acceptable
| abbreviation. If a command appears entirely in uppercase letters, you cannot
| abbreviate it. You can enter the command in uppercase letters, lowercase letters, or
| any combination. In this example, you can enter CMDNA, CMDNAM, or
| CMDNAME in any combination of uppercase and lowercase letters.
| CMDNAme
|
| Note: Command names in descriptive text are always capitalized.
| Required parameters
| When a parameter is on the same line as the command name, the parameter is
| required. When two or more parameter values are in a stack and one of them is on
| the line, you must specify one value.
| In this example, you must enter PARMNAME=A, PARMNAME=B, or

| PARMNAME=C. Do not include any blanks immediately before or after the equal
| sign (=).

| PARMName = A
B
C
|
| Optional parameters
| When a parameter is below the line, the parameter is optional. In this example,
| you can enter PARMNAME=A or nothing at all. Do not include any blanks
| immediately before or after the equal sign (=).
|
PARMName = A
|
| When two or more parameter values are in a stack below the line, all of them are
| optional. In this example, you can enter PARMNAME=A, PARMNAME=B,
| PARMNAME=C, or nothing at all. Do not include any blanks immediately before
| or after the equal sign (=).
|
PARMNAme = A
B
C
|
| Defaults
| Defaults are above the line. The system uses the default unless you override it. You
| can override the default by entering an option from the stack below the line.
| In this example, PARMNAME=A is the default. You can also enter

| PARMNAME=A, PARMNAME=B, or PARMNAME=C. Do not include any blanks
| before or after the equal sign (=).
| PARMNAme = A

PARMName = A
B
C
|
| Variables
| Highlighted lowercase items (like this) denote variables. In these examples,

| var_name represents variables::
| CMDNAme var_name
|
|
PARMname = var_name
|

| Special characters
| You must code these symbols exactly as they appear in the syntax diagram.
| * Asterisk
| : Colon
| , Comma
| = Equal sign
| - Hyphen
| () Parentheses
| . Period
| Repeating values
| An arrow returning to the left means that the item can be repeated. A character
| within the arrow means that you must separate repeated items with that character.
| ,
file_name
|
| Repeatable choices
| A stack of values followed by an arrow returning to the left means that you can
| select more than one value or, when permitted, repeat a single item. In this
| example, you can choose more than one value, with each name delimited with a
| comma. Do not include any blanks before or after the equal sign (=).
| ,
PARMNAme = value1
value2
value3
|
| Footnotes
| Footnotes are enclosed in parentheses.
| ,
(1)
file_name
|
| Notes:
| 1 You can specify up to five file names.
| Entering parameters
| The order in which you enter parameters can be important. The following example
| shows a portion of the command for defining a copy storage pool:

| DEFine STGpool pool_name device_class_name POoltype = COpy
|
| REClaim = 100
|
DESCription = description REClaim = percent
|
| The first two parameters in this command (pool_name and device_class_name are
| required parameters. pool_name and device_class_name are also positional. That is,
| they must be entered in the order shown, immediately after the command name.
| The POOLTYPE parameter is a required keyword parameter. DESCRIPTION and
| RECLAIM, are optional keyword parameters. Keyword parameters are identified by
| an equal sign that specifies a specific value or a variable. Keyword parameters
| must follow any positional parameters in a command.
| The following command entries, in which the keyword parameters are ordered
| differently, are both acceptable:
| define stgpool mycopypool mydeviceclass pooltype=copy description=engineering
| reclaim=50
| define stgpool mycopypool mydeviceclass description=engineering pooltype=copy
| reclaim=50
| The following example, in which one of the positional parameters follows a

| keyword parameter, is not acceptable:
| define stgpool mycopypool pooltype=copy mydeviceclass description=engineering
| reclaim=50
| Syntax fragments
| Some diagrams, because of their length, must display parts of the syntax with
| fragments. The fragment name appears between vertical bars in the diagram.
| The expanded fragment appears in the diagram after all other parameters or at the
| bottom of the diagram. A heading with the fragment name identifies the expanded
| fragment. Commands appearing directly on the line are required.
| In this example, the fragment is named “Fragment”.
| Fragment
|
| Fragment:
| A

|

| Using continuation characters to enter long commands
| Continuation characters are useful when you want to process a command that is
| longer than your screen or window width. You can use continuation characters in
| the interactive mode of the administrative client.
| About this task
| Without continuation characters, you can enter up to 256 characters. With

| continuation characters, you can enter up to 1500 characters.
| Note: In the MACRO command, the maximums apply after any substitution variables
| have been applied.
| With continuation characters, you can do the following:

| v Enter a dash at the end of the line you want to continue.
| For example:
| register admin pease mypasswd -
| contact="david, ext1234"
| v Continue a list of values by entering a dash or a back slash, with no preceding
| blank spaces, after the last comma of the list that you enter on the first line.
| Then, enter the remaining items in the list on the next line with no preceding
| blank spaces. For example:
| stgpools=stg1,stg2,stg3,-

| v Continue a string of values that are enclosed in quotation marks by entering the
| first part of the string that is enclosed in quotation marks, followed by a dash or
| a back slash at the end of the line. Then, enter the remainder of the string on the
| next line, enclosed in the same type of quotation marks.
| For example:
| contact="david pease, bldg. 100, room 2b, san jose,"-
| "ext. 1234, alternate contact-norm pass,ext 2345"
| Tivoli Storage Manager concatenates the two strings with no intervening blanks.
| You must use only this method to continue a quoted string of values across
| more than one line.
| Naming Tivoli Storage Manager objects

| IBM Tivoli Storage Manager restricts the number and type of characters that you
| can use to name objects.
| About this task
| The following characters are available for defining object names.

|| Character Description
| A–Z Any letter, A through Z
| 0–9 Any number, 0 through 9
| _ Underscore
| . Period
| - Hyphen
| + Plus
| & Ampersand

|
| The following table shows the maximum length of characters permitted for naming
| objects.
|| Type of Name Maximum Length
| Administrators, client option sets, client nodes, 64
| passwords, server groups, server, names, virtual file
| space names
| Restartable export identifiers 64
| High-level and low-level TCP/IP (IPv4 or IPv6) 64
| addresses
| Device classes, drives, libraries, management classes, 30
| policy domains, profiles, schedules scripts, backup
| sets, storage pools
|
| The following characters are available for defining password names:

| a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
| A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
| 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
| ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * _ - + = ` | ( ) { } [ ] : ; < > , . ? /
| Passwords considered “LOCAL” are those passwords that authenticate with the
| Tivoli Storage Manager server and are not case-sensitive. Passwords considered
| “LDAP” are those passwords that authenticate with an LDAP directory server and
| are case-sensitive.
| When you use DEFINE commands to define database, recovery log, and storage
| pool volumes, the naming convention for the volume name is dependent on the
| type of sequential access media or random access media that you are using. Refer
| to the specific VOLUME command for details.
| Using wildcard characters to specify object names

| In some commands, such as the query commands, you can use wildcard characters
| to create a pattern-matching expression that specifies more than one object. Using
| wildcard characters makes it easier to tailor a command to your needs.
| About this task
| The wildcard characters you use depend on the operating system from which you
| issue commands. For example, you can use wildcard characters such as an asterisk
| (*) to match any (0 or more) characters, or you can use a question mark (?) or a
| percent sign (%) to match exactly one character.
| Table 2 provides references to wildcard characters for some operating systems. Use
| wildcard characters appropriate for your system.
| Table 2. Wildcard characters by operating system
| Operating system Match any Match exactly one
®
| AIX , HP-UX, Linux, OS/2, Oracle * ?
| Solaris, Windows
| TSO * %
|

| For example, if you want to query all the management classes whose names begin
| with DEV in all the policy sets in DOMAIN1, and your system uses an asterisk as
| the match-any character, you can enter:
| query mgmtclass domain1 * dev*
| If your system uses a question mark as the match-exactly-one character, and you
| want to query the management classes in POLICYSET1 in DOMAIN1, you can
| enter:
| query mgmtclass domain1 policyset1 mc?
| Tivoli Storage Manager displays information about management classes with

| names MC.
| Table 3 shows additional examples of using wildcard characters to match any

| characters.
| Table 3. Match-any character
| Pattern Matches Does not match
| ab* ab, abb, abxxx a, b, aa, bb
| ab*rs abrs, abtrs, abrsrs ars, aabrs, abrss
| ab*ef*rs abefrs, abefghrs abefr, abers
|
| Table 4 shows additional examples of using wildcard characters to match exactly

| one character. The question mark (?) can be replaced by a percent sign (%) if your
| platform uses that character instead of (?).
| Table 4. Match-exactly-one character
| Pattern Matches Does not match
| ab? abc ab, abab, abzzzz
| ab?rs abfrs abrs, abllrs
| ab?ef?rs abdefjrs abefrs, abdefrs, abefjrs

|
| Specifying descriptions in keyword parameters

| If a description (a string of text) for a parameter begins with a single or double
| quotation mark, or contains any embedded blanks or equal signs, you must
| surround the value with either single (') or double (") quotation marks.
| About this task
| The opening and closing quotation marks must be the same type of quotation
| marks. For example, if the opening quotation is a single quotation mark, the
| closing quotation mark must also be a single quotation mark.
| For example, to register a new client node named Louie, with a password of secret,
| and with his title included as contact information, enter:
| register node louie secret contact="manager of dept. 61f"
| The following table presents ways of entering a description for the CONTACT
| parameter. The value can contain quotation marks, embedded blanks, or equal
| signs.

|| For this description Enter this
| manager contact=manager
| manager's contact="manager's" or contact='manager"s'
| "manager" contact='"manager"' or contact="""manager"""
| manager's report contact="manager's report" or contact='manager''s
| report'
| manager's "report" contact='manager''s "report"'
| manager=dept. 61f contact='manager=dept. 61f'
| manager reports to dept. 61f contact='manager reports to dept. 61f' or
| contact="manager reports to dept. 61f"
|
|
| Controlling command processing
| You can run some Tivoli Storage Manager commands sequentially or concurrently
| with other commands. You can also route commands from one server to other
| servers for processing.
| About this task
| Server command processing

| Tivoli Storage Manager processes administrator commands either in the foreground
| or in the background. Commands that process in the foreground must complete
| before you can issue another command. When commands are processing in the
| background, you can issue additional commands at any time.
| Most Tivoli Storage Manager commands process in the foreground. For some
| commands that normally process in the background (for example, BACKUP DB),
| you can specify the WAIT parameter (WAIT=YES) with the command so that the
| command processes in the foreground. You might want to process a command in
| the foreground rather than in the background for any of the following reasons:
| v To quickly determine whether a command completed successfully. When you
| issue a command that processes in the foreground, Tivoli Storage Manager sends
| a confirmation message indicating that the command completed successfully. If
| you process the command in the background, you need to open operational
| reporting or query the activity log to determine whether the command
| completed successfully.
| v To monitor server activities (for example, messages) on the administrative client
| as a command is being processed. This might be preferable to searching a long
| activity log after the command has completed.
| v To be able to start another process immediately after a command has completed.
| For example, you might specify WAIT=YES for a command that takes a short
| time to process so that, when the processing completes, you can immediately
| start processing another command.
| v To serialize commands in an administrative script when it is important that one
| command completes before another begins.
| Check the individual command description to determine whether a command has

| a WAIT parameter.
| You can cancel commands that are processed in the foreground from the server
| console or from another administrative client session.

| Each background process is assigned a process number. Use the QUERY PROCESS
| command to obtain the status and process number of a background process.
| Note:
| v If you are defining a schedule with a command that specifies WAIT=NO (the
| default), and you issue QUERY EVENT to determine the status of your
| scheduled operation, failed operations will report an event status of
| COMPLETED with a return of OK. In order for the QUERY EVENT output to
| reflect the failed status, the WAIT parameter must be set to YES. This will run
| the scheduled operation in the foreground and inform you of the status when it
| completes.
| v You cannot process commands in the foreground from the server console.
| Stopping background processes

| Use the CANCEL PROCESS command to cancel commands that generate
| background processes.
| About this task
| Use the QUERY PROCESS command to obtain the status and process number of a
| background process. If a background process is active when you cancel it, the
| server stops the process. Any changes that are uncommitted are rolled back.
| However, changes that are committed are not rolled back.
| When you issue a QUERY command from the administrative client, multiple
| screens of output might be generated. If this occurs and additional output is not
| needed, you can cancel the display of output to the client workstation. Doing so
| does not end the processing of the command.
|
| Performing tasks concurrently on multiple servers
| Command routing allows you to route commands to one or more servers for
| processing and then collect the output from these servers.
| About this task
| To route commands to other servers, you must have the same administrator ID
| and password as well as the required administrative authority on each server to
| which the command is being routed. You cannot route commands to other servers
| from the server console.
| After the command has completed processing on all servers, the output displays,
| in its entirety, for each server. For example, the output from SERVER_A displays in
| its entirety, followed by the output from SERVER_B. The output includes summary
| messages for each individual server and identifies which server processed the
| output. Return codes indicate whether commands processed on the servers
| successfully. These return codes include one of three severities: 0, ERROR, or
| WARNING.
| Each server that is identified as the target of a routed command must first be
| defined using the DEFINE SERVER command. The command is automatically
| routed to all servers specified as members of a server group or to individual
| servers specified with the command. For details about setting up and managing
| multiple servers for command routing, see the Administrator's Guide.

| The following examples describe how to route the QUERY STGPOOL command to
| one server, multiple servers, a server group, multiple server groups, or a
| combination of servers and server groups. Each server or server group in a list
| must be separated with a comma, without spaces.
| Routing commands to a single server

| Procedure
| To route the QUERY STGPOOL command to a server named ASTRO, enter:

| astro: query stgpool
| The colon after the server name indicates the end of the routing information. This
| is also called the server prefix. Another way to indicate the end of routing
| information is to use parentheses around the server name, for example:
| (astro) query stgpool
| Routing commands to multiple servers

| About this task
| Procedure
| To route the QUERY STGPOOL command to multiple servers named HD_QTR,

| MIDAS, SATURN, enter:
| hd_qtr,midas,saturn: query stgpool
| If the first server has not been defined to Tivoli Storage Manager, the command is
| routed to the next defined server in the list of servers.
| You can also enter the command this way:
| (hd_qtr,midas,saturn) query stgpool
| Routing commands to a server group

| About this task
| In this example, the server group ADMIN has servers named SECURITY,
| PAYROLL, PERSONNEL defined as group members. The command is routed to
| each of these servers.
| Procedure
| To route the QUERY STGPOOL command to the server group named ADMIN,
| enter:
| admin: query stgpool

| (admin) query stgpool

| Routing commands to server groups
| About this task
| In this example, the server group ADMIN2 has servers SERVER_A, SERVER_B,
| and SERVER_C defined as group members, and server group ADMIN3 has servers
| ASTRO, GUMBY, and CRUSTY defined as group members. The command is
| routed to servers SERVER_A, SERVER_B, SERVER_C, ASTRO, GUMBY, and
| CRUSTY.
| Procedure
| To route the QUERY STGPOOL command to two server groups that are named
| ADMIN2 and ADMIN3, enter:
| admin2,admin3: query stgpool

| (admin2,admin3) query stgpool
| Routing commands to two servers and a server group

| About this task
| In this example, the server group DEV_GROUP has servers SALES, MARKETING,
| and STAFF defined as group members. The command is routed to servers SALES,
| MARKETING, STAFF, MERCURY, and JUPITER.
| Procedure
| To route the QUERY STGPOOL command to a server group named DEV_GROUP

| and to the servers named MERCURY and JUPITER, enter:
| dev_group,mercury,jupiter: query stgpool

| (dev_group,mercury,jupiter) query stgpool
| Routing commands inside scripts

| About this task
| When routing commands inside scripts, you must enclose the server or server
| group in parentheses and omit the colon. Otherwise, the command will not be
| routed when the RUN command is issued, and will only be run on the server
| where the RUN command is issued.
| For example, to route the QUERY STGPOOL command inside a script:
| Procedure
| 1. Define a script called QU_STG to route it to the DEV_GROUP server group.
| define script qu_stg "(dev_group) query stgpool"
| 2. Run the QU_STG script:
| run qu_stg

| Results
| In this example, the server group DEV_GROUP has servers SALES, MARKETING,
| and STAFF defined as group members. The QUERY STGPOOL command is routed
| to these servers.
|
| Privilege classes for commands
| The authority granted to an administrator through the privilege class determines
| which administrative commands that the administrator can issue.
| There are four administrator privilege classes in Tivoli Storage Manager:

| v System
| v Policy
| v Storage
| v Operator
| After an administrator has been registered using the REGISTER ADMIN command,
| the administrator can issue a limited set of commands, including all query
| commands. When you install Tivoli Storage Manager, the server console is defined
| as a system administrator named SERVER_CONSOLE and is granted system
| privilege.
| The following sections describe each type of administrator privilege and the
| commands that can be issued by an administrator who has been granted the
| corresponding authority.
| Commands requiring system privilege

| An administrator with system privilege has the highest level of authority in Tivoli
| Storage Manager. With system privilege, an administrator can issue any
| administrative command and has authority to manage all policy domains and all
| storage pools.
| Table 5 on page 21 lists the commands that administrators with system privilege
| can issue. In some cases administrators with lower levels of authority, for example,
| unrestricted storage privilege, can also issue these commands. In addition, the
| REQSYSAUTHOUTFILE server option can be used to specify that certain
| commands require system privilege if they cause Tivoli Storage Manager to write
| to an external file. For more information about this server option, review
| “REQSYSAUTHOUTFILE” on page 1527.

|
| Commands requiring policy privilege

| An administrator with policy privilege can issue commands that relate to policy
| management objects such as policy domains, policy sets, management classes, copy
| groups, and schedules. The policy privilege can be unrestricted, or can be restricted
| to specific policy domains.
| With unrestricted policy privilege, you can issue all of the administrator
| commands that require policy privilege. You can issue commands that affect all
| existing policy domains as well as any policy domains that are defined in the
| future. An unrestricted policy administrator cannot define, delete, or copy policy
| domains.
| With restricted policy privilege, you can issue administrator commands that affect
| one or more policy domains for which authority is granted. For example, the
| DELETE MGMTCLASS command requires you to have policy privilege for the
| policy domain to which the management class belongs.

| command.
| 2. This command is restricted by the authority that is granted to an administrator. System
| privilege is required only for administrative command schedules. System or policy
| privilege is required for client operation schedules.
|
| Commands requiring storage privilege

| An administrator with storage privilege can issue commands that allocate and
| control storage resources for the server. The storage privilege can be unrestricted,
| or can be restricted to specific storage pools.
| Unrestricted storage privilege permits you to issue all of the administrator

| commands that require storage privilege. You can issue commands that affect all
| existing storage pools as well as any storage pools that are defined in the future.
| You can also issue commands that affect the database and the recovery log. An
| unrestricted storage administrator cannot define or delete storage pools.

| Restricted storage privilege permits you to issue administrator commands that only
| affect a storage pool for which you have been granted authority. For example, the
| DELETE VOLUME command only affects a storage pool volume that is defined to
| a specific storage pool.

Chapter 2. Administrative commands
Administrative commands are available to manage and configure the server.
Information for each command includes:

v A description of the tasks a command performs
v The administrator privilege class required to use the command
v A syntax diagram that identifies the required and optional parameters for the
command
v Descriptions of each parameter of the command
v Examples of using the command
v A list of related commands

ACCEPT DATE (Accepts the current system date)
Use this command to allow the server to begin normal processing, when the server
does not start normal processing because of a discrepancy between the server date
and the current date on the system.
When the server does not start normal processing because of a discrepancy
between the server date and the current date, this command forces the server to
accept the current date and time as valid. If the system time is valid and the server
has not been run for an extended time, this command should be run to allow the
server to begin normal processing.
Attention: If the system date is invalid or the server was created or run
previously with an invalid system date and this command is issued, any server
processing or command that uses dates can have unexpected results. File
expiration can be affected, for example. When the server is started with the correct
date, files backed up with future dates will not be considered for expiration until
that future date is reached. Files backed up with dates that have passed will expire
faster. When the server processing encounters a future date, an error message is
issued. See the Administrator's Guide for more details.
If the server detects an invalid date or time, server sessions become disabled (as if
the DISABLE SESSIONS command had been issued). Expiration, migration,
reclamation, and volume history deletion operations are not able to continue
processing.
Use the ENABLE SESSIONS ALL command after you issue the ACCEPT DATE command
to re-enable sessions to start.
Privilege class
To issue this command, you must have system privilege.
Syntax
ACCept Date
Parameters
None.
Example: Accept the current system date
Allow the server to accept the current date as the valid date.
accept date
Related commands
Table 10. Command related to ACCEPT DATE
Command Description
ENABLE SESSIONS Resumes server activity following the
DISABLE command or the ACCEPT DATE
command.

ACTIVATE POLICYSET (Activate a new policy set)
Use this command to copy the contents of a policy set to the ACTIVE policy set for
the domain. The server uses the rules in the ACTIVE policy set to manage client
operations in the domain. You can define multiple policy sets for a policy domain,
but only one policy set can be active. The current ACTIVE policy set is replaced by
the one you specify when you issue this command. You can modify the ACTIVE
policy set only by activating another policy set.
Before activating a policy set, check that the policy set is complete and valid by
using the VALIDATE POLICYSET command.
The ACTIVATE POLICYSET command fails if any of the following conditions exist:
v A copy group specifies a copy storage pool as a destination.
v A management class specifies a copy storage pool as the destination for files that
were migrated by a Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management client.
v The policy set has no default management class.
v A TOCDESTINATION parameter is specified, and the storage pool is either a copy
pool or has a data format other than NATIVE or NONBLOCK.
The ACTIVE policy set and the last activated policy set are not necessarily
identical. You can modify the original policy set that you activated without
affecting the ACTIVE policy set.
If the server has data retention protection enabled, the following conditions must
exist:
v All management classes in the policy set to be activated must contain an archive
copy group.
v If a management class exists in the active policy set, a management class with
the same name must exist in the policy set to be activated.
v If an archive copy group exists in the active policy set, the corresponding copy
group in the policy set to be activated must have a RETVER value at least as
large as the corresponding values in the active copy group.
Attention: Retention protection only applies to archive objects.
Privilege class
To issue this command, you must have system privilege, unrestricted policy
privilege, or restricted policy privilege for the policy domain to which the policy
set belongs.
Syntax
ACTivate POlicyset domain_name policy_set_name
Parameters
domain_name (Required)
Specifies the policy domain for which you want to activate a policy set.
policy_set_name (Required)
Specifies the policy set to activate.

Example: Activate a policy set on a specific policy domain
Activate the VACATION policy set in the EMPLOYEE_RECORDS policy domain.

activate policyset employee_records vacation
Related commands
Table 11. Commands related to ACTIVATE POLICYSET
Command Description
COPY POLICYSET Creates a copy of a policy set.
DEFINE POLICYSET Defines a policy set within the specified
policy domain.
DELETE POLICYSET Deletes a policy set, including its
management classes and copy groups, from a
policy domain.
QUERY DOMAIN Displays information about policy domains.
QUERY POLICYSET Displays information about policy sets.
UPDATE POLICYSET Changes the description of a policy set.
VALIDATE POLICYSET Verifies and reports on conditions the
administrator must consider before activating
the policy set.

ASSIGN DEFMGMTCLASS (Assign a default management class)
Use this command to specify a management class as the default management class
for a policy set. You must assign a default management class for a policy set before
you can activate that policy set.
To ensure that clients can always back up and archive files, choose a default
management class that contains both an archive copy group and a backup copy
group.
The server uses the default management class to manage client files when a
management class is not otherwise assigned or appropriate. For example, the
server uses the default management class when a user does not specify a
management class in the include-exclude list. See the Administrator's Guide for

AUDIT LDAPDIRECTORY (Audit an LDAP directory server)
Use this command to audit an IBM Tivoli Storage Manager-controlled namespace
on a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server. The LDAP directory
server and namespace are specified through one or more LDAPURL options.
Nodes and administrator user IDs that do not authenticate their passwords with
the LDAP directory server are deleted with the AUDIT LDAPDIRECTORY FIX=YES
command. Nodes or administrator user IDs that no longer exist in the Tivoli
Storage Manager database are also deleted.
Before you issue this command, ensure that the LDAPURL option is specified in the
dsmserv.opt file. See the LDAPURL option for more information. If you specified
more than one LDAPURL option in the dsmserv.opt file, each option is validated in
the order in which they are placed. If the LDAPURL option is not specified, the
command fails.

Parameters
Fix
This optional parameter specifies how the Tivoli Storage Manager server
resolves inconsistencies between the database and the external directory. The
default is NO. You can specify the following values:
No The server reports all inconsistencies but does not change the external
directory.
Yes
The server resolves any inconsistencies that it can and suggests further
actions, if needed.
Important: If there are LDAP entries that are shared with other Tivoli
Storage Manager servers, choosing YES might cause those servers to
become out-of-sync.
Wait
This optional parameter specifies whether to wait for the Tivoli Storage
Manager server to complete processing this command in the foreground. The
default is NO. You can specify the following values:
No The server processes this command in the background and you can
continue with other tasks while the command is processing. Messages
related to the background process are shown either in the activity log file
or the server console, depending on where the messages are logged.
Yes
The server processes this command in the foreground. The operation must

complete before you can continue with other tasks. Messages are shown
either in the activity log file or the server console, or both, depending on
where the messages are logged.
Restriction: You cannot specify WAIT=YES from the server console.
Example: Audit an LDAP directory and repair inconsistencies
Audit the LDAP directory that you specified in the LDAPURL option. The Tivoli
Storage Manager server resolves some inconsistencies.

AUDIT LIBRARY (Audit volume inventories in an automated
library)
Use this command to audit and synchronize volume inventories in an automated
library.
When the AUDIT LIBRARY command is issued on a library client, the client
synchronizes its inventory with the inventory on the library manager. If the library
client detects inconsistencies, it corrects them by changing the ownership of the
volume on the library manager.
When the AUDIT LIBRARY command is issued on a server where the library is SCSI,
349X, or ACSLS (LIBTYPE=SCSI, LIBTYPE=349X, or LIBTYPE=ACSLS), the server
synchronizes its inventory with the inventory of the library device. If the server
detects inconsistencies, it deletes missing volumes from its inventory.
v In SCSI libraries, the server also updates the locations of volumes in its
inventory that have been moved since the last audit.
v In 349X libraries, the server also ensures that scratch volumes are in the scratch
category and that private volumes are in the private category.
When the AUDIT LIBRARY command is issued on a server that is a library manager
for the library (SHARED=YES), the server updates ownership of its volumes if it
detects inconsistencies.
Regardless the type of server or type of library, issuing the AUDIT LIBRARY
command does not automatically add new volumes to a library. To add new
volumes, you must use the CHECKIN LIBVOLUME command.
Attention: The following precautions apply to SCSI, 349X, and ACSLS libraries
only (LIBTYPE=SCSI, LIBTYPE=349X, and LIBTYPE=ACSLS):
v Running the AUDIT LIBRARY command prevents any other library activity until
the audit completes. For example, Tivoli Storage Manager will not process
restore or retrieve requests that involve the library when the AUDIT LIBRARY
command is running.
v If other activity is occurring in the library, do not issue the AUDIT LIBRARY
command. Issuing the AUDIT LIBRARY command when a library is active can
produce unpredictable results (for example, a hang condition) if a process
currently accessing the library attempts to acquire a new tape mount.
This command creates a background process that you can cancel with the CANCEL
PROCESS command. To display information about background processes, use the
QUERY PROCESS command.
Privilege class
To issue this command, you must have system privilege or unrestricted storage
privilege.

Parameters
library_name (Required)
Specifies the name of the library to audit.
CHECKLabel
Specifies how the storage volume label is checked during the audit. This
parameter applies to SCSI libraries only. The parameter is ignored for other
library types. The default is YES. Possible values are:
Yes
Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager checks each volume label to verify
the identity of the volume.
Barcode
Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager uses the barcode reader to read the
storage label. Using the barcode decreases the audit processing time. This
parameter applies only to SCSI libraries.
Attention: If the scanner cannot read the barcode label or the barcode
label is missing, Tivoli Storage Manager loads that tape in a drive to read
the label.
REFRESHstate
Specifies whether the server's information about a library, which is normally
obtained during initialization, is refreshed, so that any changes in configuration
are reflected. By setting the REFRESHSTATE parameter to Yes, this action is
completed without having to restart the server or re-define the library. The
default is No. Possible values are:
No Specifies that the Tivoli Storage Manager server does not refresh the
library's state when the library is audited.
Yes
Specifies that the Tivoli Storage Manager server does refresh the library's
state when the AUDIT LIBRARY command is issued.

AUDIT LICENSES (Audit server storage usage)
Use this command to audit the server storage used by client nodes and to audit
the server licenses. The audit determines whether the current configuration is in
compliance with the license terms.
An audit creates a background process you can cancel with the CANCEL PROCESS
command. If you halt and restart the server, an audit is run automatically as
specified by the SET LICENSEAUDITPERIOD. To view audit results, use the QUERY
LICENSE command.
Attention: The audit of server storage can take a lot of CPU time. You can use
the AUDITSTORAGE server option to specify that storage is not to be audited.

AUDIT VOLUME (Verify database information for a storage
pool volume)
Use this command to check for inconsistencies between database information and a
storage pool volume. Processing information generated during an audit is sent to
the activity log and server console.
You can only audit volumes that belong to storage pools with
DATAFORMAT=NATIVE and DATAFORMAT=NONBLOCK.
You cannot audit a volume if it is being deleted from a primary or copy storage
pool.
While an audit process is active, clients cannot restore data from the specified
volume or store new data to that volume.
If the server detects a file with errors, handling of the file will depend on the type
of storage pool to which the volume belongs, whether the FIX option is specified
on this command, and whether the file is also stored on a volume assigned to
other pools.
If Tivoli Storage Manager does not detect errors for a file that was marked as
damaged, the state of the file is reset so that it can be used.
The Tivoli Storage Manager server will not delete archive files that are on deletion
hold. If archive retention protection is enabled, the Tivoli Storage Manager server
will not delete archive files whose retention period has not expired.
To display information about the contents of a storage pool volume, use the QUERY
CONTENT command.
To audit multiple volumes, you can use the FROMDATE and TODATE parameters.
Use the STGPOOL parameter to audit all volumes in a storage pool. When you use
the parameters FROMDATE, TODATE, or both, the server limits the audit to only
the sequential media volumes that meet the date criteria, and automatically
includes all online disk volumes in storage. To limit the number of volumes that
may include disk volumes, use the FROMDATE, TODATE, and STGPOOL
parameters.
If you are running a server with archive retention protection enabled, and you
have data stored in storage pools which are defined with the parameter
RECLAMATIONTYPE=SNAPLOCK, the Last Access Date on the NetApp
SnapLock Filer for a volume should be equal to the End Reclaim Period date that
you see when you issue a QUERY VOLUME F=D command on that volume. During
AUDIT VOLUME processing, these dates are compared. If they do not match and
the AUDIT VOLUME command is being run with the FIX=NO parameter, a message
will be issued to you indicating that the command should be run with the FIX=YES
parameter to resolve the inconsistency. If they do not match and the AUDIT
VOLUME command is being run with the FIX=YES parameter, the inconsistencies
will be resolved.

Attention: Use the FIX=Yes parameter only if your tape drive and storage area
network (SAN) infrastructure is stable. Ensure that the tape heads are clean and
that the tape device drivers are stable and reliable. Otherwise, you risk deleting
data that is error free when you use this parameter. The Tivoli Storage Manager
server cannot determine whether a tape is physically damaged or whether a tape
infrastructure is unstable.
This command creates a background process that can be canceled with the CANCEL
PROCESS command. To display information on background processes, use the QUERY
PROCESS command.
Privilege class
To issue this command, you must have system privilege, unrestricted storage
privilege, or restricted storage privilege for the storage pool to which the volume is
defined.

Parameters
volume_name
Specifies the name of the storage pool volume you want to audit. This
parameter is required if you do not specify a storage pool. You cannot specify
a volume name together with the FROMDATE and TODATE parameters.

Fix
Specifies how the server resolves inconsistencies between the database
inventory and the specified storage pool volume. This parameter is optional.
The default is NO.
The actions the server performs depend on whether the volume is assigned to
a primary or a copy storage pool.
Primary Storage Pool:
Note: If the AUDIT VOLUME command does not detect an error in a file that was
previously marked as damaged, Tivoli Storage Manager resets the state of the
file so that it can be used. This provides a means for resetting the state of
damaged files if it is determined that the errors were caused by a correctable
hardware problem such as a dirty tape head.
Fix=No
Tivoli Storage Manager reports, but does not delete, database records that
refer to files with inconsistencies:
v Tivoli Storage Manager marks the file as damaged in the database. If a
backup copy is stored in a copy storage pool, you can restore the file
using the RESTORE VOLUME or RESTORE STGPOOL command.
v If the file is a cached copy, you must delete references to the file on this
volume by issuing the AUDIT VOLUME command and specifying
FIX=YES. If the physical file is not a cached copy, and a duplicate is
stored in a copy storage pool, it can be restored by using the RESTORE
VOLUME or RESTORE STGPOOL command.
Fix=Yes
The server fixes any inconsistencies as they are detected:
v If the physical file is a cached copy, the server deletes the database
records that refer to the cached file. The primary file is stored on another
volume.
v If the physical file is not a cached copy, and the file is also stored in one
or more copy storage pools, the error will be reported and the physical
file marked as damaged in the database. You can restore the physical file
by using the RESTORE VOLUME or RESTORE STGPOOL command.
v If the physical file is not a cached copy, and the physical file is not
stored in a copy storage pool, each logical file for which inconsistencies
are detected are deleted from the database.
v If archive retention protection is enabled by using the SET
ARCHIVERETENTIONPROTECTION command, a cached copy of data can be
deleted if needed. Data in primary and copy storage pools can only be
marked damaged and never deleted.
Do not use the AUDIT VOLUME command with FIX=YES if a restore process
(RESTORE STGPOOL or RESTORE VOLUME) is running. The AUDIT VOLUME
command could cause the restore to be incomplete.
Copy Storage Pool:
Fix=No
The server reports the error and marks the physical file copy as damaged
in the database.
Fix=Yes
The server deletes any references to the physical file and any database
records that point to a physical file that does not exist.

SKIPPartial
Specifies whether Tivoli Storage Manager ignores skipped files, which are files
that span multiple storage pool volumes. This parameter is optional. The
default value is NO. When performing an audit operation on a sequential
access media volume, this parameter prevents additional sequential access
media mounts that may be necessary to audit any skipped files. Possible
values are:
No Tivoli Storage Manager audits files that span multiple volumes.
Unless you specify SKIPPARTIAL=YES, Tivoli Storage Manager attempts to
process each file stored on the volume, including files that span into and
out of other volumes. To audit files that span multiple volumes, the
following conditions must be true:
v For sequential access volumes, the additional sequential access volumes
must have an access mode of read/write or read-only.
v For random access volumes, the additional volumes must be online.
Yes
Tivoli Storage Manager audits only files that are stored on the volume to
be audited. The status of any skipped files is unknown.
Quiet
Specifies whether Tivoli Storage Manager sends detailed informational
messages to the activity log and the server console about irretrievable files on
the volume. This parameter is optional. The default is NO. Possible values are:
No Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager sends detailed informational
messages and a summary. Each message contains the node, file space, and
client name for the file.
Yes
Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager sends only a summary report.
FROMDate
Specifies the beginning date of the range to audit volumes. The default is the
current date. All sequential media volumes meeting the time range criteria that
were written to after this date are audited. The server includes all online disk
volumes in storage. The server starts one audit process for each volume and
runs the process serially. You cannot use this parameter if you have specified a
volume. This parameter is optional. To limit the number of volumes that may
include disk volumes, use the FROMDATE, TODATE, and STGPOOL
parameters.
You can specify the date by using one of the following values:
Value Description Example

TODate
Specifies the ending date of the range for volumes to audit. All sequential
media volumes meeting the time range criteria that were written to before this
date are audited. The server includes all online disk volumes in storage. If you
do not specify a value, the server defaults to the current date. You cannot use
this parameter if you have specified a volume. This parameter is optional. To
limit the number of volumes that may include disk volumes, use the
FROMDATE, TODATE, and STGPOOL parameters.

BACKUP DB (Back up the database)
Use this command to back up a Tivoli Storage Manager database to sequential
access volumes.
Attention: To restore a database, the server must use information from the
volume history file and the device configuration file. You must make and save
copies of the volume history file and the device configuration file. These files
cannot be recreated.
To determine how much extra storage space a backup requires, issue the QUERY DB
command.
Restriction: You cannot restore a server database from a different Tivoli Storage
Manager server when both of the following conditions are true:
v The database backup is stored on virtual volumes
v The connection to the Tivoli Storage Manager server is protected by SSL (Secure
Sockets Layer)
After the database backup is complete, the Tivoli Storage Manager server backs up
information, depending on the options that are specified in the server options file.
The following information is backed up:
v Sequential volume-history information is backed up to all files that the
VOLUMEHISTORY option specifies
v Information about device configuration is backed up to all files that the

COMPRESS parameter in the BACKUP DB command, it overrides any COMPRESS
parameter value that is set in the SET DBRECOVERY command. Otherwise, the
value that is set in the SET DBRECOVERY command is the default.
Parameters
DEVclass (Required)
Specifies the name of the sequential access device class to use for the backup.
If you issue the BACKUP DB command, and the device class is not the one that is
specified in the SET DBRECOVERY command, a warning message is issued.
However, the backup operation continues and is not affected.
If the SET DBRECOVERY command is not issued to set a device class, the BACKUP
DB command fails.
Restriction:
v You cannot use a device class with a device type of NAS or CENTERA.
v A restore database operation fails if the source for the restore is a FILE
library. A FILE library is created if the FILE device class specifies
SHARED=YES.
If all drives for this device class are busy when the backup runs, Tivoli Storage
Manager cancels lower priority operations, such as reclamation, to make a
drive available for the backup.
Type
Specifies the type of backup to run. This parameter is optional. The default is
FULL. The following values are possible:
Full
Specifies that you want to run a full backup of the Tivoli Storage Manager
database.
Incremental
Specifies that you want to run an incremental backup of the Tivoli Storage
Manager database. An incremental (or cumulative) backup image contains
a copy of all database data that is changed since the last successful full
backup operation.
DBSnapshot
Specifies that you want to run a full snapshot database backup. The entire
contents of a database are copied and a new snapshot database backup is
created without interrupting the existing full and incremental backup series
for the database.
VOLumenames
Specifies the volumes that are used to back up the database. This parameter is
optional. However, if you specify SCRATCH=NO, you must specify a list of
volumes.

volume_name
Specifies the volumes that are used to back up the database. Specify
multiple volumes by separating the names with commas and no
intervening spaces.
FILE:filename
Specifies the name of a file that contains a list of volumes that are used to
back up the database. Each volume name must be on a separate line. Blank
lines and comment lines, which begin with an asterisk, are ignored.
For example, to use volumes DB0001, DB0002, and DB0003, create a file
that contains these lines:
DB0001
DB0002
DB0003
Name the file appropriately. For example:

TAPEVOL
You can then specify the volumes for the command as follows:
VOLUMENAMES=FILE:TAPEVOL
NUMStreams
Specifies the number of parallel data movement streams to use when you back
up the database. The minimum value is 1, and the maximum value is 4.
Increasing the value causes a corresponding increase in the number of database
backup sessions to be used and the number of drives to be used for the device
class. If you specify a NUMSTREAMS value in the BACKUP DB command, it
overrides any value that is set in the SET DBRECOVERY command. Otherwise, the
value that is set in the SET DBRECOVERY command is used. The NUMSTREAMS
value is used for all types of database backups.
If a value is specified that is greater than the number of drives available for the
device class, only the number of available drives are used. The available drives
are those defined to the device class by the MOUNTLIMIT parameter or by the
number of online drives for the specified device class. The session is displayed
in the QUERY SESSION output.
If you increase the number of streams, more volumes are used from the
corresponding device class for this operation. Using more volumes might
improve the speed of the database backups, but at the cost of more volumes
that are not fully used.
For details about using multiple streams for database backup and restore
operations, see the Administrator's Guide.
Scratch
Specifies whether scratch volumes can be used for the backup. This parameter
is optional. The default is YES. The following values are possible:
Yes
Specifies that scratch volumes can be used.
If you specify SCRATCH=YES and the VOLUMENAMES parameter, Tivoli Storage
Manager uses only scratch volumes if space is unavailable on the specified
volumes.
If you do not include a list of volumes by using the VOLUMENAMES
parameter, you must either specify SCRATCH=YES or use the default.
No Specifies that scratch volumes cannot be used.

If you specify volumes by using the VOLUMENAMES parameter and
SCRATCH=NO, the backup fails if there is not enough space available to store
the backup data on the specified volumes.
Wait
Specifies whether to wait for the server to complete processing this command
in the foreground. The default is NO. The following values are possible:
No Specifies that the server processes this command in the background. You
can continue with other tasks while the command is being processed.
Messages that are created from the background process are displayed
either in the activity log or the server console, depending on where
messages are logged.
To cancel a background process, use the CANCEL PROCESS command. If a
BACKUP DB background process is canceled, some of the database might
have already been backed up before the cancellation.
Yes
Specifies that the server processes this command in the foreground. Wait
for the command to complete before you continue with other tasks. The
server then displays the output messages to the administrative client when
the command completes.

DEDUPDEVice
Specifies that a target storage device supports data deduplication. When set to
YES, the format for backup images is optimized for data deduplication devices,
making backup operations more efficient. The following values are possible:
No Specifies that a target storage device does not support data deduplication.
NO is the default.
Ensure that this parameter is set to NO for the following devices:
v SCSI libraries
v All devices that are defined with a FILE device class
v Virtual tape libraries (VTL) that do not support the data deduplication
function
Yes
Specifies that a target device supports data deduplication and that you
want to optimize backups for this function. You can set this parameter to
YES if you are using VTLs that support data deduplication.
| COMPress
| Specifies whether volumes that are created by the BACKUP DB command are
| compressed. The COMPRESS value is used for all types of database backups. This
| parameter is optional. The default value is conditional. If you specify the
| COMPRESS parameter on the BACKUP DB command, it overrides any value that is
| set in the SET DBRECOVERY command. Otherwise, the value that is set in the SET
| DBRECOVERY command is the default. You can specify one of the following
| values:
| No Specifies that the volumes created by the BACKUP DB command are not
| compressed.
| Yes
|

| Specifies that the volumes created by the BACKUP DB command are
| compressed.
| Restrictions:
| v Use caution when you specify the COMPRESS parameter. Using compression
| during database backups can reduce the size of the backup files. However,
| compression can increase the time that is required to complete database
| backup processing.
| v Do not back up compressed data to tape. If your system environment stores
| database backups on tape, set the COMPRESS parameter to No in the SET
| DBRECOVERY and BACKUP DB commands.
| Example: Run an incremental backup by using a scratch volume
Run an incremental backup of the database by using a scratch volume. Use a

device class of FILE for the backup.

BACKUP NODE (Back up a NAS node)
Use this command to start a backup operation for a network-attached storage
(NAS) node.
Backups that are created for NAS nodes with this BACKUP NODE command are
functionally equivalent to backups that are created by using the BACKUP NAS
command on a Tivoli Storage Manager client. You can restore these backups with
either the server's RESTORE NODE command or the client's RESTORE NAS command.
Privilege class
To issue this command, you must have system privilege, policy privilege for the
domain to which the node is assigned, or client owner authority over the node.
Syntax
BAckup Node node_name
,
file_system_name
TOC = Preferred Wait = No

MGmtclass = mcname TOC = No Wait = No
Preferred Yes
Yes
MODE = DIFFerential TYPE = BACKUPImage

MODE = FULL TYPE = BACKUPImage
DIFFerential SNAPMirror
Parameters
node_name (Required)
Specifies the node for which the backup will be performed. You cannot use
wildcard characters or specify a list of names.
file_system_name
Specifies the name of one or more file systems to back up. You can also specify
names of virtual file spaces that have been defined for the NAS node. The file
system name that you specify cannot contain wildcard characters. You can
specify more than one file system by separating the names with commas and
no intervening spaces.
If you do not specify a file system, all file systems will be backed up. Any
virtual file spaces defined for the NAS node are backed up as part of the file
system image, not separately.
If a file system exists on the NAS device with the same name as the virtual file
space specified, Tivoli Storage Manager automatically renames the existing
virtual file space in the server database, and backs up the NAS file system
which matches the name specified. If the virtual file space has backup data, the
file space definition associated with the virtual file space will also be renamed.
Tip: See the virtual file space name parameter in the DEFINE VIRTUALFSMAPPING
command for more naming considerations.

In determining the file systems to process, the server will not use any
DOMAIN.NAS, INCLUDE.FS.NAS, or EXCLUDE.FS.NAS statements in any
client option file or client option set. If you back up multiple file systems, the
backup of each file system is a separate server process.
MGmtclass
Specifies the name of the management class to which this backup data is
bound. If you do not specify a management class, the backup data is bound to
the default management class of the policy domain to which the node is
assigned. In determining the management class, the server will not use any
INCLUDE.FS.NAS statements in any client option file or client option set. The
destination management class may refer to a Tivoli Storage Manager native
pool, in which case Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) data is sent
into the Tivoli Storage Manager native hierarchy. After this occurs, the data
stays in the Tivoli Storage Manager hierarchy. Data flowing to Tivoli Storage
Manager native pools goes over the LAN and data flowing to NAS pools can
be directly attached or over a SAN.
When you specify a management class with the BACKUP NODE command, all
versions of the backup data that belong to the NAS node are rebound to the
new management class.
TOC
Specifies whether a table of contents (TOC) is saved for each file system
backup. Consider the following in determining whether you want to save a
table of contents.
v If a table of contents is saved, you will be able to use the QUERY TOC
command to determine the contents of a file system backup in conjunction
with the RESTORE NODE command to restore individual files or directory trees.
You will also be able to use the Tivoli Storage Manager Web backup-archive
client to examine the entire file system tree and choose files and directories
to restore. Creation of a table of contents requires that you define the
TOCDESTINATION attribute in the backup copy group for the management
class to which this backup image is bound. Note that a table of contents
creation requires additional processing, network resources, storage pool
space, and possibly a mount point during the backup operation.
v A table of contents for a NAS file system cannot have a directory path
greater than 1024 characters.
v If a table of contents is not saved for a file system backup, you will still be
able to restore individual files or directory trees using the RESTORE NODE
command, provided that you know the fully qualified name of each file or
directory to be restored and the image in which that object was backed up.
This parameter is optional. The default value is Preferred. Possible values
are:
No Specifies that table of contents information is not saved for file system
backups.
Preferred
Specifies that table of contents information should be saved for file
system backups. However, a backup does not fail just because an error
occurs during creation of the table of contents. This is the default value.
Yes
Specifies that table of contents information must be saved for each file
system backup. A backup fails if an error occurs during creation of the
table of contents.

Attention: If MODE=DIFFERENTIAL is specified and a table of contents is
requested (TOC=PREFERRED or TOC=YES), but the last full image does not
have a table of contents, a full backup will be performed and a table of
contents will be created for that full backup.
Wait
in the foreground. The default is NO. Possible values are:
No Specifies that the server processes this command in the background. Use
the QUERY PROCESS command to monitor the background processing of
this command.
Yes
Specifies that the server processes this command in the foreground. You
wait for the command to complete before continuing with other tasks. The
the command completes. If you are backing up multiple file systems, all
backup processes must complete before the command is complete.
Attention: You cannot specify WAIT=YES from the server console.

MODE
Specifies whether the file system backups are full or differential. The default is
DIFFERENTIAL.
FULL
Specifies to back up the entire file system.
DIFFerential
Specifies that only the files that have changed since the most recent full
backup should be backed up. If you choose a differential backup, and a
full backup is not found, a full backup is performed. You cannot specify
TYPE=SNAPMIRROR when the MODE parameter is set to DIFFERENTIAL.
TYPE
Specifies the backup method used to perform the NDMP backup operation.
The default value for this parameter is BACKUPIMAGE and it should be used
to perform a standard NDMP base or differential backup. Other image types
represent backup methods that might be specific to a particular file server.
Possible values are:
BACKUPImage
Specifies that the file system should be backed up using an NDMP dump
operation. This is the default method for performing an NDMP backup.
The BACKUPIMAGE type operation supports full and differential backups,
file-level restore processing and directory-level backup.
SNAPMirror
Specifies that the file system should be copied to a Tivoli Storage Manager
storage pool using the NetApp SnapMirror to Tape function. SnapMirror
images are block level full backup images of a file system. Typically, a
SnapMirror backup takes significantly less time to perform than a
traditional NDMP full file system backup. However there are limitations
and restrictions on how SnapMirror images can be used. The SnapMirror
to Tape function is intended to be used as a disaster-recovery option for
copying very large NetApp file systems to secondary storage.

For most NetApp file systems, use the standard NDMP full or differential
backup method. See the Administrator's Guide for limitations on using
SnapMirror images as a backup method.
Refer to the documentation that came with your NetApp file server for
more information. When setting the TYPE parameter to SNAPMirror, note
the following restrictions:
1. You cannot specify TOC=YES or TOC=PREFERRED.
2. The file_system_name cannot be a virtual filespace name.
3. The snapshot which is created automatically by the file server during
the SnapMirror copy operation will be deleted at end of the operation.
4. This parameter is valid for NetApp and IBM N-Series file servers only.
Example: Perform a full backup
Perform a full backup on the /vol/vol10 file system of NAS node NAS1.
backup node nas1 /vol/vol10 mode=full
Example: Perform a backup on a directory and create a table of

contents
Back up the directory /vol/vol2/mikes on the node NAS1 and create a table of
contents for the image. For the following two examples, assume Table 21 contains
the virtual file space definitions exist on the server for the node NAS1.
backup node nas1 /mikesdir

Example: Perform a backup on two directories
Back up the directories /vol/vol2/project1/data and /vol/vol1/project1/test of

the node NAS1. Refer to Table 21 for the the virtual file space definitions that exist
on the server for the node NAS1.

BACKUP STGPOOL (Back up primary storage pool to copy
storage pool)
Use this command to back up primary storage pool files to a copy storage pool.
In addition to backing up primary storage pools having NATIVE or NONBLOCK

data formats, this command lets you back up primary storage pools that have
NDMP data formats (NETAPPDUMP, CELERRADUMP, or NDMPDUMP). The
copy storage pool to which data is to be backed up must have the same data
format as the primary storage pool. Tivoli Storage Manager supports backend data
movement for NDMP images. For details, see the Administrator's Guide.
You cannot back up data from or to storage pools defined with a CENTERA device
class.
If a file already exists in the copy storage pool, the file is not backed up unless the
copy of the file in the copy storage pool is marked as damaged. However, a new
copy is not created if the file in the primary storage pool is also marked as
damaged. In a random-access storage pool, neither cached copies of migrated files
nor damaged primary files are backed up.
If migration for a storage pool starts during a storage pool backup, some files may
be migrated before they are backed up. You may want to back up storage pools
that are higher in the migration hierarchy before backing up storage pools that are
lower. For example, when performing a storage pool backup to copy the contents
of a storage pool offsite, if the process is not done according to the existing storage
pool hierarchy, some files may not be copied to the copy storage pool. This could
become critical for disaster recovery purposes. When performing a storage pool
backup on multiple storage pools, the primary storage pool should be completed
before starting the backup process on the next storage pool.
Remember: Issuing this command for a primary storage pool that is set up for
data deduplication removes duplicate data, if the copy storage pool is also set up
for data deduplication.
Restriction: Do not run the MOVE DRMEDIA and BACKUP STGPOOL commands
concurrently. Ensure that the storage pool backup processes are complete before
you issue the MOVE DRMEDIA command.

Notes:
1 Valid only for storage pools associated with a sequential-access device class.
Parameters
primary_pool (Required)
Specifies the primary storage pool.
copy_pool (Required)
Specifies the copy storage pool.
MAXPRocess
Specifies the maximum number of parallel processes to use for backing up
files. This parameter is optional. Enter a value from 1 to 999. The default is 1.
Using multiple, parallel processes may improve throughput for the backup.
The expectation is that the time needed to perform the storage pool backup
will be decreased by using multiple processes. However, when multiple
processes are running, in some cases one or more of the processes needs to
wait to use a volume that is already in use by a different backup process.
When determining this value, consider the number of logical and physical
drives that can be dedicated to this operation. To access a sequential access
volume, Tivoli Storage Manager uses a mount point and, if the device type is
not FILE, a physical drive. The number of available mount points and drives
depends on other Tivoli Storage Manager and system activity and on the
mount limits of the device classes for the sequential access storage pools that
are involved in the backup.
Each process needs a mount point for copy storage pool volumes, and, if the
device type is not FILE, each process also needs a drive. If you are backing up
a sequential storage pool, each process needs an additional mount point for
primary storage pool volumes and, if the device type is not FILE, an additional
drive. For example, suppose you specify a maximum of 3 processes to back up
a primary sequential storage pool to a copy storage pool of the same device
class. Each process requires 2 mount points and 2 drives. To run all 3
processes, the device class must have a mount limit of at least 6, and at least 6
mount points and 6 drives must be available.
To preview a backup, only one process is used and no mount points or drives
are needed.
Preview
Specifies if you want to preview but not perform the backup. The preview
displays the number of files and bytes to be backed up and a list of the
primary storage pool volumes that you must mount. This parameter is
optional. The default is NO. Possible values are:

No Specifies that the backup is done.
Yes
Specifies that you want to preview the backup but not do the backup.
VOLumesonly
Specifies that you want to preview the backup only as a list of the volumes
that must be mounted. This choice requires the least processing time. The
VOLUMESONLY option is valid only for storage pools associated with a
sequential-access device class.
SHREDTONOshred
Specifies whether data will be backed up to a copy storage pool from a
primary storage pool that enforces shredding. This parameter is optional. The
default value is NO. Possible values are:
No Specifies that the server will not allow data to be backed up to a copy
storage pool from a primary storage pool that enforces shredding. If the
primary storage pool enforces shredding, the operation will fail.
Yes
Specifies that the server does allow data to be backed up to a copy storage
pool from a primary storage pool that enforces shredding. The data in the
copy storage pool will not be shredded when it is deleted.
Wait
in the foreground. This parameter is optional. The default is NO. Possible
values are:
No Specifies that the server processes this command in the background.
You can continue with other tasks while the command is being processed.
Messages created from the background process are displayed either in the
activity log or the server console, depending on where messages are
logged.
To cancel a background process, use the CANCEL PROCESS command. If you
cancel this process, some files may have already been backed up prior to
the cancellation.
Yes
Specifies that the server performs this operation in the foreground. You
must wait for the operation to complete before continuing with other tasks.
The server displays the output messages to the administrative client when
the operation completes.
Note: You cannot specify WAIT=YES from the server console.

BACKUP VOLHISTORY (Save sequential volume history
information)
Use this command to back up sequential volume history information to one or
more files.
Note: You must use volume history information when you reload the database
and audit affected storage pool volumes. If you cannot start the server, you can use
the volume history file to query the database about these volumes.
The volume history includes information about the following types of volumes:
v Archive log volumes
v Database backup volumes
v Export volumes
v Backup set volumes
v Database snapshot volumes
v Database recovery plan file volumes
v Recovery plan file volumes
v Recovery plan file snapshot volumes
v The following sequential access storage pool volumes:
– Volumes added to storage pools
– Volumes reused through reclamation or MOVE DATA operations
– Volumes removed by using the DELETE VOLUME command or during
reclamation of scratch volumes
You must use the VOLUMEHISTORY server option to specify one or more volume
history files. Tivoli Storage Manager updates volume history files whenever server
sequential volume history information is changed.
In order to ensure updates are complete before the server is halted, we recommend
you:
v Not halt the server for a few minutes after issuing the BACKUP VOLHISTORY
command.
v Specify multiple VOLUMEHISTORY options in the server options file.
v Examine the volume history file to see if the file has been updated.
Privilege class
Any administrator can issue this command unless it includes the FILENAMES
parameter. If the FILENAMES parameter is specified and the
REQSYSAUTHOUTFILE server option is set to YES, the administrator must have

To cancel a process, you must have the process number, which you can obtain by
issuing the QUERY PROCESS command.
Some processes, such as reclamation, generate mount requests to complete

processing. If a process has a pending mount request, the process might not

respond to a CANCEL PROCESS command until the mount request is answered or
canceled by using the REPLY or CANCEL REQUEST command, or by timing out.
Issue the QUERY REQUEST command to list open requests, or query the activity log to
determine whether a process has a pending mount request. A mount request
indicates that a volume is needed for the current process, but the volume is not
available in the library. The volume might not be available if the administrator
issues the MOVE MEDIA or CHECKOUT LIBVOLUME command, or manually removes the
volume from the library.
After you issue a CANCEL PROCESS command for an export operation, the process
cannot be restarted. To stop a server-to-server export operation but allow it to be
restarted later, issue the SUSPEND EXPORT command.

CHECKIN LIBVOLUME (Check a storage volume into a library)
Use this command to add a sequential access storage volume or a cleaning tape to
the server inventory for an automated library. The server cannot use a volume that
physically resides in an automated library until that volume is checked in.
Important:
1. The CHECKIN LIBVOLUME command processing does not wait for a drive to
become available, even if the drive is only in the IDLE state. If necessary, you
can make a library drive available issuing the DISMOUNT VOLUME command to
dismount the volume. After a library drive is available, reissue the CHECKIN
LIBVOLUME command.
2. You do not define the drives, check in media, or label the volumes in an
external library. The server provides an interface that external media
management systems use to operate with the server. For more information,
refer to the Administrator's Guide.
3. When you check in WORM tapes other than 3592, you must use
CHECKLABEL=YES or they are checked in as normal read/write tapes.
This command creates a background process that you can cancel with the CANCEL

Parameters
Specifies the name of the library.
volume_name
Specifies the volume name of the storage volume that is being checked in. This
parameter is required if SEARCH equals NO. Do not enter this parameter if
the SEARCH parameter equals YES or BULK. If you are checking a volume
into a SCSI library with multiple entry/exit ports, the volume in the lowest
numbered slot is checked in.
STATus (Required)
Specifies the volume status. Possible values are:
PRIvate
Specifies that the volume is a private volume that is mounted only when it
is requested by name.
SCRatch
Specifies that the volume is a new scratch volume. This volume can be
mounted to satisfy scratch mount requests during either data storage
operations or export operations.
If a volume has an entry in volume history, you cannot check it in as a
scratch volume.
CLEaner
Specifies that the volume is a cleaner cartridge and not a data cartridge.
The CLEANINGS parameter is required for a cleaner cartridge and must
be set to the number of cleaner uses.
CHECKLABEL=YES is not valid for checking in a cleaner cartridge. Use
STATUS=CLEANER to check in a cleaner cartridge separately from a data
cartridge.
OWNer
Specifies which library client owns a private volume in a library that is shared
across a SAN. The volume for which you specify ownership must be a private
volume. You cannot specify ownership for a scratch volume. Furthermore, you
cannot specify an owner when you use SEARCH=YES or SEARCH=BULK.
When you issue the CHECKIN LIBVOLUME command, the Tivoli Storage Manager
server validates the owner. If you did not specify this parameter, then the
server uses the default and delegates volume ownership to the owning library

client, as recorded in the volume history file on the library manager. If the
volume is not owned by any library client, then the server delegates ownership
to the library manager.
SEARCH
Specifies whether the server searches the library to find volumes that were not
checked in. This parameter is optional. The default is NO.
No Specifies that only the named volume is checked into the library.
For SCSI libraries: The server issues a request to have the volume inserted
into a cartridge slot in the library or, if available, into an entry port. The
cartridge slot or entry port is identified by its element address. For 349X
libraries: The volume might already be in the library, or you can put it
into the I/O station when prompted.
Yes
Specifies that the server searches the library for volumes to be checked in.
You can use the VOLRANGE or VOLLIST parameter to limit the search. When
you use this parameter, consider the following restrictions:
v If the library is shared between applications, the server might examine a
volume that is required by another application. For 349X libraries, the
server queries the library manager to determine all volumes that are
assigned to the SCRATCH or PRIVATE category and to the INSERT
category.
v For SCSI libraries, do not specify both SEARCH=YES and
CHECKLABEL=NO in the same command.
Bulk
Specifies that the server searches the library's entry/exit ports for volumes
that can be checked in automatically. This option applies to only SCSI
libraries.
Important:
1. Do not specify both CHECKLABEL=NO and SEARCH=BULK.
2. You can use the VOLRANGE or VOLLIST parameter to limit the
search.
VOLRange
Specifies a range of volume names that are separated by commas. You can use
this parameter to limit the search for volumes to be checked in when you
specify SEARCH=YES (349X, ACSLS, and SCSI libraries) or SEARCH=BULK
(SCSI libraries only). If there are no volumes in the library that are within the
specified range, the command completes without errors.
Specify only volume names that can be numerically incremented. In addition
to the incremental area, a volume name can include an alphanumeric prefix
and an alphanumeric suffix, for example:
Parameter Description
volrange=bar110,bar130 The 21 volumes are checked in: bar110,
bar111, bar112,...bar129, bar130.
volrange=bar11a,bar13a The 3 volumes are checked in: bar11a,
bar12a, bar13a.
volrange=123400,123410 The 11 volumes are checked in: 123400,
123401, ...123409, 123410.

VOLList
Specifies a list of volumes. You can use this parameter to limit the search for
volumes to be checked in when you specify SEARCH=YES (349X, ACSLS, and
SCSI libraries) or SEARCH=BULK (SCSI libraries only). If there are no volumes
in the library that are in the list, the command completes without errors.
volume_name
Specifies one or more volumes names that are separated by commas and
no intervening spaces. For example: VOLLIST=TAPE01,TAPE02.
FILE: file_name
Specifies the name of a file that contains a list of volumes for the
command. In the file, each volume name must be on a separate line. Blank
lines and comment lines that begin with an asterisk are ignored. For
example, to use volumes TAPE01, TAPE02 and TAPE03, create a file,
TAPEVOL, that contains these lines:
TAPE01
TAPE02
TAPE03
You can specify the volumes for the command as follows:

VOLLIST=FILE:TAPEVOL.
Attention: The file name is case-sensitive.

CHECKLabel
Specifies how or whether the server should read sequential media labels of
volumes. This parameter is optional. The default is YES.
Yes
Specifies that an attempt is made to read the media label during check-in.
Attention:
1. For SCSI libraries, do not specify both SEARCH=YES and
CHECKLABEL=NO in the same command.
2. For WORM media other than 3592, you must specify YES.
No Specifies that the media label is not read during check-in. However,
suppressing label checking can result in future errors (for example, either a
wrong label or an improperly labeled volume can cause an error). For 349X
and ACSLS libraries, specify NO to avoid loading cartridges into a drive to
read the media label. These libraries always return the external label
information about cartridges, and Tivoli Storage Manager uses that
information.
Barcode
Specifies that the server reads the bar code label if the library has a bar
code reader and the volumes have external bar code labels. You can
decrease the check-in time by using the bar code. This parameter applies
only to SCSI libraries.
If the bar code reader cannot read the bar code label, or if the tape does
not have a bar code label, the server mounts the tape and reads the
internal label.

DEVType
Specifies the device type for the volume that is being checked in. This
parameter is required if none of the drives in this library have defined paths.
3590
Specifies that the device type for the volume that is being checked in is
3590.
3592
Specifies that the device type for the volume that is being checked in is
3592.
SWAP
Specifies whether the server swaps volumes if an empty library slot is not
available. The volume that is selected for the swap operation (target swap
volume) is ejected from the library and replaced with the volume that is being
checked in. The server identifies a target swap volume by checking for an
available scratch volume. If none exists, the server identifies the least
frequently mounted volume.
This parameter is optional. The default is NO. This parameter applies only if
there is a volume name that is specified in the command. Possible values are:
No Specifies that the server checks in the volume only if an empty slot is
available.
Yes
Specifies that if an empty slot is not available, the server swaps cartridges
to check in the volume.
WAITTime
Specifies the number of minutes that the server waits for you to reply or
respond to a request. Specify a value in the range 0-9999. If you want to be
prompted by the server, specify a wait time greater than zero. The default
value is 60 minutes. For example, suppose the server prompts you to insert a
tape into the entry/exit port of a library. If you specified a wait time of 60
minutes, the server issues a request and waits 60 minutes for you to reply.
Suppose, on the other hand, you specify a wait time of 0. If you already
inserted a tape, a wait time of zero causes the operation to continue without
prompting. If you have not inserted a tape, a wait time of zero will cause the
operation to fail.
CLEanings
Enter the recommended value for the individual cleaner cartridge (usually
indicated on the cartridge). Cleanings apply only to SCSI libraries. This
parameter is required if STATUS=CLEANER.
If more than one cleaner is checked into the library, only one is used until its
CLEANINGS value decreases to zero. Another cleaner is then selected, and the
first cleaner can be checked out and discarded.
Example: Check a volume into a SCSI library
Check in a volume named WPDV00 into the SCSI library named AUTO.
checkin libvolume auto wpdv00 status=scratch

Example: Use a bar code reader to scan a library for a cleaner
cartridge
Scan a SCSI library named AUTOLIB1 and, using the bar code reader, look for
cleaner cartridge CLNV. Use SEARCH=YES, but limit the search by using the
VOLLIST parameter.
checkin libvolume autolib1 search=yes vollist=cleanv status=cleaner
cleanings=10 checklabel=barcode
Example: Scan a library to put unused volumes in a specific

range in scratch status
Scan a 349X library named ABC, and limit the search to a range of unused
volumes BAR110 to BAR130 and put them in scratch status.
checkin libvolume abc search=yes volrange=bar110,bar130
status=scratch
Example: Scan a library to put a specific volume in scratch

status
Use the barcode reader to scan a SCSI library named MYLIB for VOL1, and put it in
scratch status.
checkin libvolume mylib search=yes vollist=vol1 status=scratch
checklabel=barcode

CHECKOUT LIBVOLUME (Check a storage volume out of a library)
Use this command to remove a sequential access storage volume from the server
inventory for an automated library. This command creates a background process
that can be canceled with the CANCEL PROCESS command. To display information on
background processes, use the QUERY PROCESS command.
Restrictions:
1. Check out processing does not wait for a drive to become available, even if the
drive is in the IDLE state. If necessary, you can make a library drive available
by dismounting the volume with the DISMOUNT VOLUME command. After a drive
is available, the CHECKOUT LIBVOLUME command can be reissued.
2. Before checking out volumes from a 349X library, ensure that the 349x
Cartridge Input and Output facility has enough empty slots for the volumes to
be checked out. The 3494 Library Manager does not inform an application that
the Cartridge Input and Output facility is full. It accepts requests to eject a
cartridge and waits until the Cartridge Input and Output facility is emptied
before returning to the server. Tivoli Storage Manager may appear to be hung
when it is not. You should check the library and clear any intervention
requests.
3. Before checking volumes out of an ACSLS library, ensure that the CAP priority
in ACSLS is greater than zero. If the CAP priority is zero, then you must
specify a value for the CAP parameter on the CHECKOUT LIBVOLUME command.

CHECKLabel
Specifies how or whether the server reads sequential media labels of volumes.
Attention: This parameter does not apply to IBM 349X or ACSLS libraries.
This parameter is optional. The default is YES. Possible values are:
Yes
Specifies that the server attempts to read the media label to verify that the
correct volume is being checked out.

No Specifies that during checkout the media label is not read. This improves
performance because the read process does not occur.
FORCE
Specifies whether the server checks out a volume if an input/output (I/O)
error occurs when reading the label.
Attention: This parameter does not apply to IBM 349X or ACSLS libraries.
This parameter is optional. The default is NO. Possible values are:
No The server does not check out a storage volume if an I/O error occurs
when reading the label.
Yes
The server checks out the storage volume even if an I/O error occurs.
CAP
Specifies which cartridge access port (CAP) to use for ejecting volumes if you
specify REMOVE=YES. This parameter applies to volumes in ACSLS libraries
only. If the CAP priority value is set to 0 in the library, this parameter is
required. If a CAP priority value greater than 0 is set in the library, this
parameter is optional. By default, all CAPs initially have a priority value of 0,
which means that ACSLS does not automatically select the CAP.
To display valid CAP identifiers (x,y,z), issue the QUERY CAP command with
ALL specified from the Automated Cartridge System System Administrator
(ACSSA) console on the ACSLS server host. The identifiers are as follows:
x The Automated Cartridge System (ACS) ID. This identifier can be a
number in the range 0 - 126.
y The Library Storage Module (LSM) ID. This identifier can be a number
in the range 0 - 23.
z The CAP ID. This identifier can be a number in the range 0 - 11.
For more information, see the StorageTek documentation.
Example: Check out a volume and check the label

COMMIT (Control committing of commands in a macro)
Use this command to control when a command is committed in a macro and to
update the database when commands complete processing. When issued from the
console mode of the administrative client, this command does not generate a
message.
If an error occurs while processing the commands in a macro, the server stops
processing the macro and rolls back any changes (since the last COMMIT). After a
command is committed, it cannot be rolled back.
Ensure that your administrative client session is not running with the ITEMCOMMIT
option if you want to control command processing. The ITEMCOMMIT option

COPY ACTIVEDATA (Copy active backup data from a primary
storage pool to an active-data pool)
Use this command to copy active versions of backup data from a primary storage
pool to an active-data pool. The primary benefit of active-data pools is fast client
restores. Copy your active data regularly to ensure that the data is protected in
case of a disaster.
If a file already exists in the active-data pool, the file is not copied unless the copy
of the file in the active-data pool is marked damaged. However, a new copy is not
created if the file in the primary storage pool is also marked damaged. In a
random-access storage pool, neither cached copies of migrated files nor damaged
primary files are copied.
If migration for a storage pool starts while active data is being copied, some files
might be migrated before they are copied. For this reason, you should copy active
data from storage pools that are higher in the migration hierarchy before copying
active data from storage pools that are lower. Be sure a copy process is complete
before beginning another.
Remember:
v You can only copy active data from storage pools that have a data format of
NATIVE or NONBLOCK.
v Issuing this command for a primary storage pool that is set up for data
deduplication removes duplicate data, if the active-data pool is also set up for
data deduplication.

mount limits of the device classes for the sequential-access storage pools that
are involved when copying active data.
Each process needs a mount point for active-data pool volumes, and, if the
device type is not FILE, each process also needs a drive. If you are copying
active data from a sequential-access storage pool, each process needs an
additional mount point for primary storage pool volumes and, if the device
type is not FILE, an additional drive. For example, suppose you specify a
maximum of 3 processes to copy a primary sequential storage pool to an
active-data pool of the same device class. Each process requires two mount
points and two drives. To run all three processes, the device class must have a
mount limit of at least six, and at least six mount points and six drives must be
available.
To use the PREVIEW parameter, only one process is used, and no mount points
or drives are needed.
Preview
Specifies whether you want to preview but not actually copy any active data.
The preview displays the number of files and bytes to be copied and a list of
the primary storage pool volumes that you must mount. This parameter is
No Specifies that active data will be copied.
Yes
Specifies that you want to preview the process but not copy any data.
VOLumesonly
Specifies that you want to preview the process only as a list of the volumes
that must be mounted. This choice requires the least processing time.
Wait
values are:

You cannot specify WAIT=YES from the server console.
SHREDTONOshred
Specifies whether data should be copied from a primary storage pool that
enforces shredding to an active-data pool that does not enforce shredding. This
parameter is optional. The default value is NO. Possible values are:
No Specifies that the server does not allow data to be copied from a primary
storage pool that enforces shredding to an active-data pool that does not
enforce shredding. If the primary storage pool enforces shredding and the
active-data pool does not, the operation will fail.
Yes
Specifies that the server does allow data to be copied from a primary
storage pool that enforces shredding to an active-data pool that does not
enforce shredding. The data in the active-data pool will not be shredded
when it is deleted.
Example: Copy primary storage pool data to active-data pool
Copy the active data from a primary storage pool named PRIMARY_POOL to the
active-data pool named ACTIVEPOOL. Issue the command:
copy activedata primary_pool activepool

DEFINE ASSOCIATION (Associate client nodes with a
schedule)
Use this command to associate one or more clients with a schedule. You must
assign a client node to the policy domain to which a schedule belongs. Client
nodes process operations according to the schedules associated with the nodes.
Note:
1. Tivoli Storage Manager cannot run multiple schedules concurrently for the
same client node.
2. In a macro, the server may stall if some commands (such as REGISTER NODE and
DEFINE ASSOCIATION) are not committed as soon as you issue them. You could
follow each command in a macro with a COMMIT command. However, a simpler
solution is to include the -ITEMCOMMIT option with the DSMADMC command.
Privilege class
To issue this command, you must have one of the following privilege classes:
v System privilege
v Unrestricted policy privilege
v Restricted policy privilege for the policy domain to which the schedule belongs
Syntax
,
DEFine ASSOCiation domain_name schedule_name node_name
Parameters
Specifies the name of the policy domain to which the schedule belongs.
schedule_name (Required)
Specifies the name of the schedule that you want to associate with one or more
clients.
Specifies the name of a client node or a list of client nodes to associate with the
specified schedule. Use commas to separate the items in the list. Do not leave
spaces between the items and commas. You can use a wildcard character to
specify a name. The command will not associate a listed client to the schedule
if:
v The client is already associated with the specified schedule.
v The client is not assigned to the policy domain to which the schedule
belongs.
v The client is a NAS node name. All NAS nodes are ignored.
Example: Associate client nodes with a schedule
Associate the client nodes SMITH or JOHN with the WEEKLY_BACKUP schedule.
The associated clients are assigned to the EMPLOYEE_RECORDS policy domain.
define association employee_records
weekly_backup smith*,john*

Example: Associate client nodes with a schedule
Associate the client nodes JOE, TOM, and LARRY with the WINTER schedule. The
associated clients are assigned to the EMPLOYEE_RECORDS policy domain;
however, the client JOE is already associated with the WINTER schedule.

DEFINE BACKUPSET (Define a backup set)
Use this command to define a client backup set that was previously generated on
one server and make it available to the server that is running this command. The
client node has the option of restoring the backup set from the server that is
running this command rather than the one on which the backup set was generated.
Any backup set generated on one server can be defined to another server when the
servers share a common device type. The level of the server to which the backup
set is being defined must be equal to or greater than the level of the server that
generated the backup set.
You can also use the DEFINE BACKUPSET command to redefine a backup set that was
deleted on a server.
Privilege class
If the REQSYSAUTHOUTFILE server option is set to YES (the default), the administrator
must have system privilege. If the REQSYSAUTHOUTFILE server option is set to NO,
the administrator must have system privilege or policy privilege for the domain to
which the client node is assigned.

Parameters
node_name or node_group_name (Required)
Specifies the name of the client nodes or node groups whose data is contained
in the specified backup set volumes. To specify multiple node and node group
names, separate the names with commas and no intervening spaces. Node

names can contain wildcard characters, but node group names cannot. If the
backup set volumes contain backup sets from multiple nodes, every backup set
whose node name matches one of the specified node names is defined. If the
volumes contain a backup set for a node that is not currently registered, the
DEFINE BACKUPSET command does not define the backup set for that node.
backup_set_name_prefix (Required)
Specifies the name of the backup set to define to this server. The maximum
length of the name is 30 characters.
When you select a name, Tivoli Storage Manager adds a suffix to construct the
backup set name. For example, if you name your backup set mybackupset,
Tivoli Storage Manager adds a unique number such as 3099 to the name. Your
backup set name is then identified as mybackupset.3099. To later display
information about this backup set, you can include a wildcard with the name,
such as mybackupset* or you can specify the fully qualified name, such as
mybackupset.3099.
If the backup set volumes contain backup sets for multiple nodes, then backup
sets are defined for each of the nodes by using the same backup set name
prefix and suffix.
DEVclass (Required)
Specifies the device class name for the volumes from which the backup set is
read.
Note: The device type that is associated with the device class you specify must
match the device class with which the backup set was originally generated.
VOLumes (Required)
Specifies the names of the volumes that are used to store the backup set. You
can specify multiple volumes by separating the names with commas and no
intervening spaces. The volumes that you specify must be available to the
server that is defining the backup set.
Note: The volumes that you specify must be listed in the order they were
created, or the DEFINE BACKUPSET command fails.
The server does not verify that every volume specified for a multiple-volume
backup set contains part of the backup set. The first volume is always checked,
and in some cases extra volumes are also checked. If these volumes are correct,
the backup set is defined and all of the volumes that are listed in the
command are protected from being overwritten. If a volume that contains part
of the backup set is not listed in the command, the volume is not protected
and can potentially be overwritten during normal server operations.
Note: By default, the server attempts to create a table of contents when a

backup set is defined. If an incorrect volume is specified, or if volumes are not
listed in the correct order, the table of contents creation fails. If this failure
occurs, check the volume list in the command and consider using the QUERY
BACKUPSETCONTENTS command to verify the contents of the backup set.
RETention
Specifies the number of days that the backup set is retained on the server. You
can specify an integer 0 - 30000. The default is 365 days. The values are:
days
Specifies the number of days to retain the backup set on the server.
NOLimit
Specifies that the backup set must be retained on the server indefinitely.
If you specify NOLIMIT, Tivoli Storage Manager retains the volumes that
contain the backup set forever, unless a user or administrator deletes the
volumes from server storage.
DESCription
Specifies the description to associate with the backup set that belongs to the
client node. This parameter is optional. The maximum length of the description
is 255 characters. Enclose the description in quotation marks if it contains any
blank characters.
WHEREDATAType
Specifies the backup sets containing the specified types of data are to be
defined. This parameter is optional. The default is that backup sets for all types
of data (file level, image, and application) are to be defined. To specify
multiple data types, separate the data types with commas and no intervening
spaces. Possible values are:
ALL
Specifies that backup sets for all types of data (file level, image, and
application) are to be defined. ALL is the default value.
FILE
Specifies that a file level backup set is to be defined. File level backup sets
contain files and directories that are backed up by the backup client.
IMAGE
Specifies that an image backup set is to be defined. Image backup sets
contain images that are created by the backup-archive client BACKUP IMAGE
command.
TOC
Specifies whether a table of contents (TOC) must be created for the file level
backup set when it is defined. The TOC parameter is ignored when you define
image and application data backup sets because a table of contents is always
created for these backup sets.
Consider the following in determining whether you want to create a table of
contents:
v If a table of contents is created, you can use the Tivoli Storage Manager web
backup-archive client to examine the entire file system tree and choose files
and directories to restore. Creation of a table of contents requires that you
define the TOCDESTINATION attribute in the backup copy group for the
management class that is specified by the TOCMGMTCLASS parameter. To create
a table of contents extra processing, storage pool space, and possibly a
mount point during the backup set operation is required.
v If a table of contents is not saved for a backup set, you can still restore
individual files or directory trees by using the backup-archive client RESTORE
BACKUPSET command if you know the fully qualified name of each file or
directory to be restored.
This parameter is optional. The default value is Preferred. Possible values are:
No Specifies that table of contents information is not saved for file level
backup sets.
Preferred
Specifies that table of contents information must be saved for file level

backup sets. However, a backup set does not fail just because an error
occurs during creation of the table of contents.
Yes
level backup set. A backup set fails if an error occurs during creation of the
table of contents.
TOCMGmtclass
Specifies the name of the management class to which the table of contents
must be bound. If you do not specify a management class, the table of contents
is bound to the default management class for the policy domain to which the
node is assigned. In this case, creation of a table of contents requires that you
define the TOCDESTINATION attribute in the backup copy group for the
specified management class.
Example: Define a backup set
Define the PERS_DATA backup set that belongs to client node JANE to the server
that is running this command. Retain the backup set on the server for 50 days.
Specify that volumes VOL001 and VOL002 contain the data for the backup set. The
volumes are to be read by a device that is assigned to the AGADM device class.
Include a description.
define backupset jane pers_data devclass=agadm
volumes=vol1,vol2 retention=50

DEFINE CLIENTACTION (Define a one-time client action)
Use this command to schedule one or more clients to process a command for a
one-time action.
The server automatically defines a schedule and associates the client node to the
schedule. The server assigns the schedule priority 1, sets the PERUNITS to
ONETIME, and determines the number of days to keep the schedule active. The
number of days is based on the value set with the SET CLIENTACTDURATION
command.
How quickly the client processes this command depends on whether the
scheduling mode for the client is set to server-prompted or client-polling. The
client scheduler must be started on the client workstation in order for the server to
process the schedule.
Remember: The start of the Tivoli Storage Manager scheduler depends on the
processing of other threads in the server and other processes on the Tivoli Storage
Manager server host system. The amount of time it takes to start the scheduler also
depends on network traffic and how long it takes to open a socket, to connect with
the Tivoli Storage Manager client, and to receive a response from the client. In
general, the greater the processing and connectivity requirements on the Tivoli
Storage Manager server and client, the longer it can take to start the scheduler.
Privilege class
privilege, or restricted policy for the policy domain to which the schedule belongs.

Parameters
node_name
Specifies the list of client nodes that will process the schedule associated with
the action. You can use a wildcard character to specify a client node or a list of
client nodes. Separate the client node names with commas and no intervening
spaces. If you do not specify a value, all client nodes will be scheduled for the
action.
DOmain
Specifies the list of policy domains used to limit the list of client nodes. Only
client nodes that are assigned to one of the specified policy domains will be
scheduled. All clients assigned to a matching domain will be scheduled.
Separate multiple domain names with commas and no intervening spaces. If
you do not specify a value, all policy domains will be included in the list.
ACTion
Specifies the action that occurs when this schedule is processed. Possible
values are:
Incremental
Specifies that the schedule backs up all files that are new or that have
changed since the last incremental backup. Incremental also backs up any
file for which all existing backups might have expired.
Selective
Specifies that the schedule backs up only files that are specified with the
OBJECTS parameter.
Archive
Specifies that the schedule archives files that are specified with the
OBJECTS parameter.
Backup
Specifies that the schedule backs up files that are specified with the
OBJECTS parameter.
REStore
Specifies that the schedule restores files that are specified with the
OBJECTS parameter.
When you specify ACTION=RESTORE for a scheduled operation, and the
REPLACE option is set to PROMPT, no prompting occurs. If you set the
option to PROMPT, the files are skipped.
If you specify a second file specification, this second file specification acts
as the restore destination. If you need to restore multiple groups of files,
schedule one for each file specification that you need to restore.
RETrieve
Indicates that the schedule retrieves files that are specified with the
OBJECTS parameter.
Remember: A second file that is specified acts as the retrieve destination.

If you need to retrieve multiple groups of files, create a separate schedule
for each group of files.
IMAGEBACkup
Specifies that the schedule backs up logical volumes that are specified with
the OBJECTS parameter.
IMAGEREStore
Specifies that the schedule restores logical volumes that are specified with
Command
Specifies that the schedule processes a client operating system command or
script that is specified with the OBJECTS parameter.
Macro
Specifies that a client processes a macro whose file name is specified with
SUBACTion
"" When a null string (two double quotes) is specified with
ACTION=BACKUP the backup is an incremental.
FASTBAck
Specifies that a FastBack client operation that is identified by the
ACTION parameter is to be scheduled for processing. The ACTION
parameter must be either ARCHIVE or BACKUP.

SYSTEMSTate
Specifies that a client Systemstate backup is scheduled.
VApp
Specifies that a client vApp backup is scheduled. A vApp is a
collection of pre-deployed virtual machines.
VM Specifies that a client VMware backup operation is scheduled.
OPTions
Specifies the client options that you specify to the scheduled command at the
time the schedule is processed. This parameter is optional.
Only those options that are valid on the scheduled command can be specified
for this parameter. Refer to the appropriate client manual for information about
options that are valid from the command line. All options described there as
valid only on the initial command line result in an error or are ignored when
running the schedule from the server. For example, do not include the
following options because they have no impact when the client processes the
scheduled command:
MAXCMDRETRIES
OPTFILE
QUERYSCHEDPERIOD
RETRYPERIOD
SCHEDLOGNAME
SCHEDMODE
SERVERNAME
TCPCLIENTADDRESS
TCPCLIENTPORT
If the option string contains multiple options or options with embedded
spaces, surround the entire option string with one pair of apostrophes. Enclose
individual options that contain spaces in quotation marks. A leading minus
sign is required in front of the option. Errors can occur if the option string
contains spaces that are not quoted correctly.
The following examples show how to specify some client options:
v To specify subdir=yes and domain all-local -systemobject, enter:
options=’-subdir=yes -domain="all-local -c: -systemobject"’
v To specify domain all-local -c: -d:, enter:
options=’-domain="all-local -c: -d:"’
OBJects
Specifies the objects for which the specified action is performed. Use a single
space between each object. This parameter is required except when
ACTION=INCREMENTAL. If the action is a backup, archive, retrieve, or
restore operation, the objects are file spaces, directories, or logical volumes. See
the Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide for command syntax
information. If the action is to run a command or macro, the object is the name
of the command or macro to run.
When you specify ACTION=INCREMENTAL without specifying a value for
this parameter, the scheduled command is invoked without specified objects
and attempts to process the objects as defined in the client option file. To select
all file spaces or directories for an action, explicitly list them in the object
string. Entering only an asterisk in the object string causes the backup to occur
only for the directory where the scheduler was started.
Important:
v If you specify a second file specification, and it is not a valid destination,
you receive this error:
ANS1082E Invalid destination file specification <filespec> entered.
v If you specify more than two file specifications, you receive this error:
ANS1102E Excessive number of command line arguments passed to the
program!
When you specify ACTION=ARCHIVE, INCREMENTAL, or SELECTIVE for
this parameter, you can list a maximum of twenty (20) file specifications.
Enclose the object string in double quotes if it contains blank characters
(spaces), and then surround the double quotes with single quotes. If the object
string contains multiple file names, enclose each file name with its own pair of
double quotes, then surround the entire string with one pair of single quotes.
Errors can occur if file names contain a space that is not quoted correctly.
The following examples show how to specify some file names:
v To specify /usr/file 2, /usr/gif files, and /usr/my test file, enter:
OBJECTS=’"/usr/file 2" "/usr/gif files" "/usr/my test file"’
v To specify /usr/test file, enter:
OBJECTS=’"/usr/test file"’
Wait
Specifies whether to wait for a scheduled client operation to complete. This
parameter is useful when defining client actions from a command script or
macro. This parameter is optional. The default is No. Possible values are:
No Specifies that you do not wait for the scheduled client operation to
complete. If you specify this value and the value of the ACTION
parameter is COMMAND, the return code indicates whether the client
action was defined.
Yes
Specifies that you wait for the scheduled client operation to complete. If
you specify this value and the value of the ACTION parameter is
COMMAND, the return code indicates the status of the client operation.
You cannot issue the DEFINE CLIENTACTION command with WAIT=YES from
the server console. However, from the server console, you can:
v Specify WAIT=YES with DEFINE CLIENTACTION as the command line of a
DEFINE SCRIPT command.
v Specify WAIT=YES with DEFINE CLIENTACTION as the command line of a
file whose contents will be read into the script that is defined by a
Restriction: If you specify the DEFINE CLIENTACTION command with

WAIT=YES in a macro, the immediate schedules defined by the command
will not roll back if the macro does not complete successfully.
Example: Perform a one-time incremental backup
Issue an incremental backup command for client node TOM assigned to policy
domain EMPLOYEE_RECORDS. Tivoli Storage Manager defines a schedule and
associates the schedule to client node TOM (assuming that the client scheduler is
running).

define clientaction tom domain=employee_records
action=incremental

Specifies the value for the option. If the option includes more than one value,
enclose the value in quotation marks. For the values you can specify with the
option refer to Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide.
Note:
1. The QUIET and VERBOSE options do not have an option value in the
client option's file. To specify these values in a server client option set,
specify a value of YES or NO.
2. To add an INCLUDE or EXCLUDE option for a file name that contains one
or more spaces, put single quotation marks around the file specification,
and double quotation marks around the entire option. See “Example: Add
an option to a client option set” on page 132 for more information.
3. The option_value is limited to 1024 characters.
Force
Specifies whether the server forces the client to use the option set value. The

value is ignored for additive options, such as INCLEXCL and DOMAIN. The
default is NO. This parameter is optional. The values are:
Yes
Specifies that the server forces the client to use the value. (The client
cannot override the value.)
No Specifies that the server does not force the client to use the value. (The
client can override the value.)
SEQnumber
Specifies a sequence number when an option name is specified more than
once. This parameter is optional.
Example: Add an option to a client option set

node_name
Specifies the client node where the file space is located.
FIlespace
Specifies the file_space_name on the client node that you want to add to the
collocation group. You can specify one or more file space names that are on a
specific client node. If you specify multiple file space names, separate the
names with commas with no intervening spaces. You can also use wildcard
characters to specify multiple file space names. For example:
define collocmember manufacturing linux237 filespace=*_linux_fs
This command places all file spaces on the linux237 node with a name that
ends with _linux_fs into the manufacturing collocation group.
See the following list for tips about working with collocation groups:
v When you add members to a new collocation group, the type of the first
collocation group member determines the type of the collocation group. The
group can either be a node collocation group or a file space collocation
group.
Restriction: After the collocation group type is set, it cannot be changed.

v You cannot mix collocation group member types when you add members to
a collocation group (either a node group or a file space group).
v For a file space collocation group, you can add file spaces to the group. The
file spaces must use the same value as the node_name parameter that is
specified when the collocation group is established.
v A client node can be included in multiple file space groups. However, if a
node is a member of a node collocation group, it cannot be a member of a
file space collocation group.
v A file space can be a member of only one file space group.
NAMEType
Specify how you want the server to interpret the file space names that you
enter. Specify this parameter when the server communicates with clients that
have Unicode support. A backup-archive client with Unicode support is
available only for Windows, Macintosh OS 9, Macintosh OS X, and NetWare
systems. The filespace name cannot be a wildcard character when NAMETYPE is
specified for a filespace collocation group. The default value is SERVER. You
can specify one of the following values:
SERVER
The server uses the server code page to interpret the file space names.
UNIcode
The server converts the file space names from the server code page to the
UTF-8 code page. Whether the name can be converted depends on the
characters in the names and the server code page. Conversion might fail if
the string includes characters that are not available in the server code page,
or if the server cannot access system conversion routines.
FSID
The server interprets the file space names by their file space IDs (FSIDs).
CODEType
enter. Use this parameter when you use a wildcard character for the file space
name. For example:
define collocmember production Win_3419 filespace=* codetype=unicode
This example command adds all file spaces from the Win_3419 node to the
production collocation group. The default is BOTH, so the file spaces are
included, regardless of code page type. You can specify one of the following
values:
BOTH
Include the file spaces, regardless of code page type.
UNIcode
Include file spaces that are only in Unicode.
NONUNIcode
Include file spaces that are not in Unicode.

DEFINE COPYGROUP (Define a copy group)
Use this command to define a new backup or archive copy group within a specific
management class, policy set, and policy domain. The server uses the backup and
archive copy groups to control how clients back up and archive files, and to
manage the backed-up and archived files.
To allow clients to use the new copy group, you must activate the policy set that
contains the new copy group.
You can define one backup and one archive copy group for each management
class. To ensure that client nodes can back up files, include a backup copy group in
the default management class for a policy set.
Attention: The DEFINE COPYGROUP command fails if you specify a copy storage
pool as a destination.
The DEFINE COPYGROUP command has two forms, one for defining a backup copy
group and one for defining an archive copy group. The syntax and parameters for
each form are defined separately.

Parameters
Specifies the policy domain for which you are defining the copy group.
Specifies the policy set for which you are defining the copy group.
You cannot define a copy group for a management class that belongs to the
ACTIVE policy set.
Specifies the management class for which you are defining the copy group.
STANDARD
Specifies the name of the copy group, which must be STANDARD. This
parameter is optional. The default value is STANDARD.
Type=Backup
Specifies that you want to define a backup copy group. The default parameter
is BACKUP. This parameter is optional.
DESTination (Required)
Specifies the primary storage pool where the server initially stores backup
data. You cannot specify a copy storage pool as the destination.
FREQuency
Specifies how frequently Tivoli Storage Manager can back up a file. This
parameter is optional. Tivoli Storage Manager backs up a file only when the
specified number of days has elapsed since the last backup. The FREQUENCY
value is used only during a full incremental backup operation. This value is
ignored during selective backup or partial incremental backup. You can specify
an integer from 0 to 9999. The default value is 0, meaning that Tivoli Storage
Manager can back up a file regardless of when the file was last backed up.
VERExists
Specifies the maximum number of backup versions to retain for files that are
currently on the client file system. This parameter is optional. The default
value is 2.
If an incremental backup operation causes the limit to be exceeded, the server
expires the oldest backup version that exists in server storage. Possible values
are:
number
Specifies the number of backup versions to retain for files that are
currently on the client file system. You can specify an integer from 1 to
9999.
NOLimit
Specifies that you want the server to retain all backup versions.
The number of backup versions to retain is controlled by this parameter until
versions exceed the retention time specified by the RETEXTRA parameter.
VERDeleted
Specifies the maximum number of backup versions to retain for files that have
been deleted from the client file system after being backed up using Tivoli
Storage Manager. This parameter is optional. The default value is 1.
If a user deletes a file from the client file system, the next incremental backup
causes the server to expire the oldest versions of the file in excess of this
number. The expiration date for the remaining versions is determined by the
retention time specified by the RETEXTRA or RETONLY parameter. Possible
values are:
number
Specifies the number of backup versions to retain for files that are deleted
from the client file system after being backed up. You can specify an
integer from 0 to 9999.
NOLimit
Specifies that you want the server to retain all backup versions for files
that are deleted from the client file system after being backed up.
RETExtra
Specifies the number of days to retain a backup version after that version
becomes inactive. A version of a file becomes inactive when the client stores a
more recent backup version, or when the client deletes the file from the
workstation and then runs a full incremental backup. The server deletes

inactive versions based on retention time even if the number of inactive
versions does not exceed the number allowed by the VEREXISTS or
VERDELETED parameters. This parameter is optional. The default value is 30
days. Possible values are:
days
Specifies the number of days to retain inactive backup versions. You can
specify an integer from 0 to 9999.
NOLimit
Specifies that you want to retain inactive backup versions indefinitely.
If you specify NOLIMIT, the server deletes inactive backup versions based
on the VEREXISTS parameter (when the file still exists on the client file
system) VERDELETED parameter (when the file no longer exists on the
client file system).
RETOnly
Specifies the number of days to retain the last backup version of a file that has
been deleted from the client file system. This parameter is optional. The default
value is 60. Possible values are:
days
Specifies the number of days to retain the last remaining inactive version
of a file. You can specify an integer from 0 to 9999.
NOLimit
Specifies that you want to keep the last remaining inactive version of a file
indefinitely.
If you specify NOLIMIT, the server retains the last remaining backup
version forever, unless a user or administrator deletes the file from server
storage.
MODE
Specifies whether Tivoli Storage Manager backs up a file only if the file has
changed since the last backup, or whenever a client requests a backup. This
parameter is optional. The default value is MODIFIED. Possible values are:
MODified
Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager backs up the file only if it has
changed since the last backup. Tivoli Storage Manager considers a file
changed if any of the following is true:
v The date last modified is different
v The file size is different
v The file owner is different
v The file permissions are different
ABSolute
Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager backs up the file regardless of
whether it has been modified.
The MODE value is used only for full incremental backup. This value is
ignored during partial incremental backup or selective backup.
SERialization
Specifies how Tivoli Storage Manager processes files or directories when they
are modified during backup processing. This parameter is optional. The default
value is SHRSTATIC. Possible values are:
SHRSTatic
Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager backs up a file or directory only if it
is not being modified during backup. Tivoli Storage Manager attempts to
perform a backup as many as four times, depending on the value specified
for the CHANGINGRETRIES client option. If the file or directory is modified
during each backup attempt, Tivoli Storage Manager does not back it up.
STatic
Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager backs up a file or directory only if it
is not being modified during backup. Tivoli Storage Manager attempts to
perform the backup only once.
Platforms that do not support the STATIC option default to SHRSTATIC.
SHRDYnamic
Specifies that if the file or directory is being modified during a backup
attempt, Tivoli Storage Manager backs up the file or directory during the
last attempt even though the file or directory is being modified. Tivoli
Storage Manager attempts to perform a backup as many as four times,
depending on the value specified for the CHANGINGRETRIES client option.
DYnamic
Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager backs up a file or directory on the
first attempt, regardless of whether the file or directory is being modified
during backup processing.
Attention: Be careful about using the SHRDYNAMIC and DYNAMIC

values. Tivoli Storage Manager uses these values to determine if it backs
up a file or directory while modifications are occurring. As a result, the
backup version might be a fuzzy backup. A fuzzy backup does not
accurately reflect what is currently in the file or directory because it
contains some, but not all, modifications. If a file that contains a fuzzy
backup is restored, the file may or may not be usable, depending on the
application that uses the file. If a fuzzy backup is not acceptable, set
SERIALIZATION to SHRSTATIC or STATIC so that Tivoli Storage Manager
creates a backup version only if the file or directory is not being modified.
TOCDestination
Specifies the primary storage pool in which a table of contents (TOC) will
initially be stored for any Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP)
backup or backup set operation for which a TOC is generated. This parameter
is optional. You cannot specify a copy storage pool as the destination. The
storage pool specified for the destination must have NATIVE or NONBLOCK
data format. To avoid mount delays, it is recommended that the storage pool
have a device class of DISK or DEVTYPE=FILE. TOC generation is an option
for NDMP backup operations, but is not supported for other image-backup
operations.
If TOC creation is requested for a backup operation that uses NDMP and the
image is bound to a management class whose backup copy group does not
specify a TOC destination, the outcome will depend on the TOC parameter for
the backup operation.
v If TOC=PREFERRED (the default), the backup proceeds without creation of
a TOC.
v If TOC=YES, the entire backup fails because no TOC can be created.

Example: Create a backup copy group
Create a backup copy group named STANDARD for management class

ACTIVEFILES in policy set VACATION in the EMPLOYEE_RECORDS policy
domain. Set the backup destination to BACKUPPOOL. Set the minimum interval
between backups to three days, regardless of whether the files have been modified.
Retain up to five backup versions of a file while the file exists on the client file
system.

Parameters
Specifies the name of the policy domain for which you are defining the copy
group.
Specifies the name of the policy set for which you are defining the copy group.
You cannot define a copy group for a management class that belongs to the
ACTIVE policy set.
Specifies the name of the management class for which you are defining the
copy group.
STANDARD
Specifies the name of the copy group, which must be STANDARD. This
parameter is optional. The default value is STANDARD.
Type=Archive (Required)
Specifies that you want to define an archive copy group.

DESTination (Required)
Specifies the primary storage pool where the server initially stores the archive
copy. You cannot specify a copy storage pool as the destination.
FREQuency=Cmd
Specifies the copy frequency, which must be CMD. This parameter is optional.
The default value is CMD.
RETVer
Specifies the number of days to keep an archive copy. This parameter is
optional. The default value is 365. Possible values are:
days
Specifies the length of time to keep an archive copy. You can specify an
integer in the range 0 - 30000.
The RETENTIONEXTENSION server option can affect the volume retention if
the following conditions are true:
v You specify zero for the number of days
v The destination storage pool for the archive copy group is a SnapLock
storage pool (RECLAMATIONTYPE=SNAPLOCK)
If the two conditions are met, retention of the volumes is defined by the
value of the RETENTIONEXTENSION server option. The RETENTIONEXTENSION
server option value also applies if data is copied or moved into the
SnapLock storage pool by a server process such as migration, or by using
the MOVE DATA or MOVE NODEDATA commands.
NOLimit
Specifies that you want to keep an archive copy indefinitely.
If you specify NOLIMIT, the server retains archive copies forever, unless a
user or administrator deletes the file from server storage. If you specify
NOLIMIT, you cannot also specify EVENT for the RETINIT parameter.
The value of the RETVER parameter can affect the management class to which
the server binds an archived directory. If the client does not use the ARCHMC
option, the server binds directories that are archived to the default
management class. If the default management class has no archive copy group,
the server binds directories that are archived to the management class with the
shortest retention period.
The RETVER parameter of the archive copy group of the management class to
which an object is bound determines the retention criterion for each object. See
the SET ARCHIVERETENTIONPROTECTION command for a description of data
protection.
If the primary storage pool specified in the DESTINATION parameter belongs to a
Centera device class and data protection is enabled, then the RETVER value is
sent to Centera for retention management purposes. See the SET
ARCHIVERETENTIONPROTECTION command for a description of data protection.
RETInit
Specifies when the retention time specified by the RETVER attribute is
initiated. This parameter is optional. If you define the RETINIT value during
copy group creation, you cannot modify it later. The default value is
CREATION. Possible values are:
CREATion
Specifies that the retention time specified by the RETVER attribute is
initiated at the time an archive copy is stored on the Tivoli Storage
Manager server.
EVent
Specifies that the retention time specified in the RETVER parameter is
initiated at the time a client application notifies the server of a
retention-initiating event for the archive copy. If you specify
RETINIT=EVENT, you cannot also specify RETVER=NOLIMIT.
Tip: You can place a deletion hold on an object that was stored with
RETINIT=EVENT for which the event has not been signaled. If the event is
signaled while the deletion hold is in effect, the retention period is initiated,
but the object is not deleted while the hold is in effect.
RETMin
Specifies the minimum number of days to keep an archive copy after it is
archived. This parameter is optional. The default value is 365. If you specify
RETINIT=CREATION, this parameter is ignored.
MODE=ABSolute
Specifies that a file is always archived when the client requests it. The MODE
must be ABSOLUTE. This parameter is optional. The default value is
ABSOLUTE.
SERialization
Specifies how Tivoli Storage Manager processes files that are modified during
archive. This parameter is optional. The default value is SHRSTATIC. Possible
values are:
SHRSTatic
Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager archives a file only if it is not being
modified. Tivoli Storage Manager attempts to perform an archive operation
as many as four times, depending on the value that is specified for the
CHANGINGRETRIES client option. If the file is modified during the archive
attempt, Tivoli Storage Manager does not archive the file.
STatic
Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager archives a file only if it is not being
modified. Tivoli Storage Manager attempts to perform the archive
operation only once.
SHRDYnamic
Specifies that if the file is being modified during an archive attempt, Tivoli
Storage Manager archives the file during its last attempt even though the
file is being modified. Tivoli Storage Manager attempts to archive the file
as many as four times, depending on the value that is specified for the
CHANGINGRETRIES client option.
DYnamic
Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager archives a file on the first attempt,
regardless of whether the file is being modified during archive processing.

Attention: Be careful about using the SHRDYNAMIC and DYNAMIC
values. Tivoli Storage Manager uses them to determine if it archives a file
while modifications are occurring. As a result, the archive copy might be a
fuzzy backup. A fuzzy backup does not accurately reflect what is in the file
because it contains some, but not all, modifications. If a file that contains a
fuzzy backup is retrieved, the file might or might not be usable, depending
on the application that uses the file. If a fuzzy backup is not acceptable, set
creates an archive copy only if the file is not being modified.
Example: Define an archive copy group for event-based retention
Create an archive copy group named STANDARD for management class

EVENTMC in policy set SUMMER in the PROG1 policy domain. Set the archive
destination to ARCHIVEPOOL, where the archive copy is kept until the server is
notified of an event to initiate the retention time, after which the archive copy is
kept for 30 days. The archive copy will be kept for a minimum of 90 days after
being stored on the server, regardless of when the server is notified of an event to
initiate the retention time.
define copygroup prog1 summer eventmc standard type=archive
destination=archivepool retinit=event retver=30 retmin=90
DEFINE DATAMOVER (Define a data mover)
Use this command to define a data mover. A data mover is a named device that
accepts a request from Tivoli Storage Manager to transfer data and can be used to
perform outboard copy operations.

ESTCAPacity
Specifies the estimated capacity for the volumes that are assigned to this device
class. This parameter is optional.
You can specify this parameter if the default estimated capacity for the device
class is inaccurate due to compression of data.
You must specify this value as an integer followed by one of the following unit
indicators: K (kilobytes), M (megabytes), G (gigabytes), or T (terabytes). The
smallest value that is accepted is 1 MB (ESTCAPACITY=1M).
For example, specify that the estimated capacity is 9 GB with the parameter
ESTCAPACITY=9G.
PREFIX
Specifies the high-level qualifier of the data set name that the server writes into
the sequential access media labels. For each sequential access volume assigned
to this device class, the server uses this prefix to create the data set name. This
parameter is optional. The default value is ADSM. The maximum length of this
prefix is 8 characters.
If you have a naming convention for media labels to support your current
management system, use a volume prefix that conforms to your naming
conventions.
Values that are specified for this parameter must meet the following
conditions:
v The value is to be made up of qualifiers, which can be a maximum of eight
characters including periods. For example, the following value is acceptable:
AB.CD2.E
v The qualifiers must be separated by a single period.
v The first letter of each qualifier must be alphabetic or national (@,#,$),
followed by alphabetic, national, hyphen, or numeric characters.
An example of a tape volume data set name using the default prefix is
ADSM.BFS.
MOUNTRetention
Specifies the number of minutes that an idle sequential access volume is
retained before it is dismounted. This parameter is optional. The default value
is 60 minutes. You can specify a number 0 - 9999.
This parameter can improve response time for sequential access media mounts
by leaving previously mounted volumes online.
However, for EXTERNAL library types, setting this parameter to a low value
(for example, two minutes) enhances device sharing between applications.
Note: For environments in which devices are shared across storage

applications, the MOUNTRETENTION setting must be carefully considered. This
parameter determines how long an idle volume remains in a drive. Some
media managers do not dismount an allocated drive to satisfy pending
requests. You might need to tune this parameter to satisfy competing mount
requests while maintaining optimal system performance. Typically, problems
arise more frequently when the MOUNTRETENTION parameter is set to a value that
is too small, for example, zero.
MOUNTWait
Specifies the maximum number of minutes the server waits for an operator to
respond to a request to either mount a volume in a drive in a manual library
or check in a volume to be mounted in an automated library. This parameter is
optional. If the mount request is not satisfied within the specified amount of
time, the mount request is canceled. The default value is 60 minutes. You can
specify a number 0 - 9999.
MOUNTLimit
Specifies the maximum number of sequential access volumes that can be
simultaneously mounted for the device class. This parameter is optional. The
default is DRIVES. You can specify a number 0 - 4096.
If you plan to use the simultaneous-write function, ensure that sufficient drives
are available for the write operation. If the number of drives needed for a
simultaneous-write operation is greater than the value of the MOUNTLIMIT
parameter for a device class, the transaction fails.
For details about the simultaneous-write function, see the Administrator's Guide.
The following are possible values:
DRIVES
Specifies that every time a mount point is allocated, the number of drives
that are defined and online in the library is used to calculate the true
value.
Note: For EXTERNAL library types, do not specify DRIVES for the
MOUNTLIMIT value. Specify the number of drives for the library as the
MOUNTLIMIT value.
number
Specifies the maximum number of drives in this device class that are used
concurrently by the server. This value must never exceed the number of
drives that are defined and online in the library that services this device
class.
0 (zero)
Specifies that no new transactions can gain access to the storage pool. Any
current transactions continue and complete, but new transactions are
terminated.

Parameters
LIBRary (Required)
command.
DEVType=3592 (Required)
Specifies that the 3592 device type is assigned to the device class.
LBProtect
Specifies whether logical block protection is used to ensure the integrity of
data stored on tape. When LBPROTECT is set to READWRITE or to WRITEONLY,
the server uses this feature of the tape drive for logical block protection and
generates cyclic redundancy check (CRC) protection information for each data
block written on tape. The server also validates the CRC protection information
when data is read from the tape.
The default is NO.
The following values are possible:
READWrite
Specifies that logical block protection is enabled in the server and the tape
drive for both read and write operations. Data is stored with CRC
information in each block. This mode affects performance because
additional processor usage is required for Tivoli Storage Manager and the
tape drive to calculate and compare CRC values. The READWRITE value
does not affect backup sets and data that is generated by the BACKUP DB
command.
When the LBPROTECT parameter is set to READWRITE, you do not have to
specify the CRCDATA parameter in a storage pool definition because logical
block protection provides better protection against data corruption.
WRITEOnly
drive for write operations only. Data is stored containing CRC information
in each block. For read operations, the server and the tape drive do not
validate the CRC. This mode affects performance because additional
processor usage is required for Tivoli Storage Manager to generate the CRC
and for the tape drive to calculate and compare CRC values for write
operations. The WRITEONLY value does not affect backup sets and data
that are generated by the BACKUP DB command.
No Specifies that logical block protection is not enabled in the server and the
tape drive for read and write operations. However, the server enables
logical block protection on write operations for a filling volume that
already has data with logical block protection.
Restriction: Logical block protection is supported only on IBM 3592

Generation 3 drives and later with 3592 Generation 2 media and later.
See Technote 1634851 at http://www.ibm.com/support/
docview.wss?uid=swg21634851 for an explanation about when to use the Tivoli
Storage Manager LBProtect parameter.
WORM
Specifies whether the drives use WORM (write once, read many) media. This
parameter is optional. The default is No. Possible values are:
Yes
Specifies that the drives use WORM media.
No Specifies that the drives do not use WORM media.
Remember:
1. To use 3592 WORM support in 3584 libraries, you must specify the WORM
parameter. The Tivoli Storage Manager server distinguishes between
WORM and non-WORM scratch volumes. However, to use 3592 WORM
support in 349X libraries, you also must set the
WORMSCRATCHCATEGORY on the DEFINE LIBRARY command. For
details, see “DEFINE LIBRARY (Define a library)” on page 226.
2. When WORM=Yes, the only valid value for the SCALECAPACITY
parameter is 100.
3. Verify with your hardware vendors that your hardware is at the
appropriate level of support.
For more information about WORM media, in general, refer to the
Administrator's Guide.
SCALECAPacity
Specifies the percentage of the media capacity that can be used to store data.
This parameter is optional. The default is 100. Possible values are 20, 90, or
100.
Setting the scale capacity percentage to 100 provides maximum storage
capacity. Setting it to 20 provides fastest access time.
Note: The scale capacity value takes effect only when data is first written to a
volume. Any updates to the device class for scale capacity do not affect
volumes that already have data that is written to them until the volume is
returned to scratch status.

Important: For optimal performance, avoid mixing different generations of

drives in a single SCSI library. If you must mix drive generations in a SCSI
library, use one of the special configurations that are described in the

DEFINE DEVCLASS (Define a CENTERA device class)
Use the CENTERA device class when you are using EMC Centera storage devices.
The CENTERA device type uses files as volumes to store data sequentially. It is
similar to the FILE device class.
Privilege class
privilege.

(1) MINCAPacity = 100M
HLAddress = ip_address ?PEA_file
MINCAPacity = size
MOUNTLimit = 1

MOUNTLimit = number
Notes:
1 For each Centera device class, you must specify one or more IP addresses.
However, a Pool Entry Authorization (PEA) file name and path are optional,
and up to one PEA file specification can follow the IP addresses. Use the "?"
character to separate the PEA file name and path from the IP addresses.
Parameters
DEVType=CENTERA (Required)
Specifies that the Centera device type is assigned to this device class. All
volumes that belong to a storage pool that is defined to this device class are
logical volumes that are a form of sequential access media.
HLAddress
Specifies one ore more IP addresses for the Centera storage device and,
optionally, the name and path of one Pool Entry Authorization (PEA) file.
Specify the IP addresses with the dotted decimal format (for example,
9.10.111.222). A Centera device might have multiple IP addresses. If multiple IP
addresses are specified, then the store or retrieve operation attempts a
connection by using each IP address that is specified until a valid address is
found.
The PEA file name and path name are case-sensitive.
If you append the name and path of a PEA file, ensure that the file is stored in
a directory on the system that runs the Tivoli Storage Manager server. Separate
the PEA file name and path from the IP address with the "?" character, for
example:
HLADDRESS=9.10.111.222,9.10.111.223?/user/ControlFiles/TSM.PEA
Specify only one PEA file name and path for each device class definition. If
you specify two different Centera device classes that point to the same Centera
storage device and if the device class definitions contain different PEA file
names and paths, the Tivoli Storage Manager server uses the PEA file that is
specified in the device class HLADDRESS parameter that was first used to
open the Centera storage device.
Tips:
1. The Tivoli Storage Manager server does not include a PEA file during
installation. If you do not create a PEA file, the Tivoli Storage Manager
server uses the Centera default profile, which can allow applications to
read, write, delete, purge, and query data on a Centera storage device. To
provide tighter control, create a PEA file with the command-line interface
that is provided by EMC Centera. For details about Centera authentication
and authorization, refer to the EMC Centera Programmer's Guide.
2. You can also specify the PEA file name and path in an environment
variable with the syntax CENTERA_PEA_LOCATION=filePath_ fileName.
The PEA file name and path that is specified with this environment
variable apply to all Centera clusters. If you use this variable, you do not
have to specify the PEA file name and path with the HLADDRESS
parameter.
MINCAPacity
Specifies the minimum size for Centera volumes that are assigned to a storage
pool in this device class. This value represents the minimum amount of data
that is stored on a Centera volume before the Tivoli Storage Manager server
marks it full. Centera volumes continue to accept data until the minimum
amount of data is stored. This parameter is optional.
Specify this value as an integer followed by K (kilobytes), M (megabytes), G
(gigabytes), or T (terabytes). The default value is 100 MB
(MINCAPACITY=100M). The minimum value that is allowed is 1 MB
(MINCAPACITY=1M). The maximum value that is allowed is 128 GB
(MINCAPACITY=128G).
MOUNTLimit
Specifies the maximum number of files that can be simultaneously open for
input and output. The default value is 1. This parameter is optional. You can
specify any number from 0 or greater; however, the sum of all mount limit
values for all device classes that are assigned to the same Centera device must
not exceed the maximum number of sessions that are allowed by Centera.

Parameters
DEVType=FILE (Required)
Specifies that the FILE device type is assigned to the device class. FILE
indicates that a file is assigned to this device class. When the server must
access a volume that belongs to this device class, it opens a file and reads or
writes file data.
A file is a form of sequential-access media.
MOUNTLimit
input and output. This parameter is optional. The default value is 20. You can
specify a number from 0 to 4096.
MAXCAPacity
Specifies the maximum size of any data storage files that are defined to a
storage pool in this device class.

The value of the MAXCAPACITY parameter is also used as the unit of allocation
when storage pool space triggers create volumes. The default value is 10 GB
(MAXCAPACITY=10G). The value that is specified must be less than or equal to the
maximum supported size of a file on the target file system.
(gigabytes), or T (terabytes). The minimum size is 1 MB (MAXCAPACITY=1M). If
you are defining a FILE device class for database-backup volumes, specify a
value for MAXCAPACITY that is appropriate for the size of the database and that
minimizes the number of database volumes.
Do not define a MAXCAPACITY value greater than 640M when this file is for
REMOVABLEFILE CD support. A value less than a CD's usable space (650 MB)
enables a one-to-one match between files from the FILE device class and copies
that are on CD.
DIRectory
Specifies the directory location or locations of the files that are used in this
device class. Enclose the entire list of directories within quotation marks, and
use commas to separate individual directory names. Special characters (for
example, blank spaces) are allowed within directory names. For example, the
directory list "abc def,xyz" contains two directories: abc def and xyz.
This parameter is optional.
The default is the current working directory of the server at the time the
command is issued.
By specifying a directory name or names, you identify the location where the
server places the files that represent storage volumes for this device class.
For NetApp SnapLock support (storage pools with
RECLAMATIONTYPE=SNAPLOCK, which are going to use this device class),
the directory, or directories that are specified with DIRECTORY parameter
must point to the directory or directories on the NetApp SnapLock volumes.
For a detailed description of NetApp SnapLock support, refer to the
While the command is processed, the server expands the specified directory
name or names into their fully qualified forms, starting from the root directory.
If the server must allocate a scratch volume, it creates a new file in one of
these directories. (The server can choose any of the directories in which to
create new scratch volumes.) For scratch volumes used to store client data, the
file that is created by the server has a file name extension of .bfs. For scratch
volumes used to store export data, a file name extension of .exp is used.
For example, if you define a device class with a directory of tsmstor and the
server needs a scratch volume in this device class to store export data, the file
that the server creates might be named /tsmstor/00566497.exp.
Important: You must ensure that storage agents can access newly created FILE
volumes. Failure of the storage agent to access a FILE volume can cause
operations to be retried on a LAN-only path or to fail. For more information,
see the description of the DIRECTORY parameter in “DEFINE PATH (Define a
path)” on page 255.
Tip: If you specify multiple directories for a device class, ensure that the
directories are associated with separate file systems. Space trigger functions
and storage pool space calculations take into account the space that remains in
each directory. If you specify multiple directories for a device class and the
directories are in the same file system, the server calculates space by adding
values that represent the space that remains in each directory. These space
calculations are inaccurate. Rather than choosing a storage pool with sufficient
space for an operation, the server might choose the wrong storage pool and
run out of space prematurely. For space triggers, an inaccurate calculation
might result in a failure to expand the space available in a storage pool. Failure
to expand space in a storage pool is one of the conditions that can cause a
trigger to become disabled. If a trigger is disabled because the space in a
storage pool could not be expanded, you can re-enable the trigger by issuing
the following command: update spacetrigger stg. No further changes are
required to the space trigger.
SHAREd
Specifies that this FILE device class is shared between the server and one or
more storage agents. To prepare for sharing, a library is automatically defined
along with a number of drives corresponding to the MOUNTLIMIT parameter
value. The drive names are the name of the library plus a number from 1 to
the mount limit number. For example, if the library name is FILE and the
mount limit is set to 4, the drives are named FILE11, FILE12, FILE13, FILE14.
For information about prerequisites when storage is shared by the server and
storage agent, see http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/Overview/
Software/Tivoli/Tivoli_Storage_Manager.

DEFINE DEVCLASS (Define a GENERICTAPE device class)
Use the GENERICTAPE device class for tape drives that are supported by
operating system device drivers.
When you use this device type, the server does not recognize either the type of
device or the cartridge recording format. Because the server does not recognize the
type of device, if an I/O error occurs, error information is less detailed compared
to error information for a specific device type (for example, 8MM). When you
define devices to the server, do not mix various types of devices within the same
device type.

Parameters
LIBRary (Required)
Specifies the name of the defined library object that contains the removable
media drives used by this device class. For information about defining a
library object, see the DEFINE LIBRARY command.
DEVType=REMOVABLEfile (Required)
Specifies that the REMOVABLEFILE device type is assigned to the device class.
REMOVABLEFILE indicates that the volumes for this device class are files on
local, removable media.
Volumes in a device class with device type REMOVABLEFILE are sequential
access volumes.
Use the device manufacturer's utilities to format (if necessary) and label the
media. The label on the media must meet the following restrictions:
v The label can have no more than 11 characters.
v The volume label and the name of the file on the volume must match
exactly.
v The MAXCAPACITY parameter value must be specified at less than the
capacity of the media.

MAXCAPacity
Specifies the maximum size of any volumes that are defined to a storage pool
categorized by this device class. This parameter is optional.
The MAXCAPACITY parameter must be set at less value than the capacity of
the media. For CD media, the maximum capacity can be no greater than 650
MB.
Because the server opens only one file per physical removable medium, specify
a capacity that enables one file to make full use of your media capacity.
space_remaining
The default maximum capacity is the space that remains on the media after
it is first used.
size
You must specify this value as an integer followed by K (kilobytes), M
(megabytes), G (gigabytes), or T (terabytes).
For example, MAXCAPACITY=5M specifies that the maximum capacity for a

volume in this device class is 5 MB. The smallest value that is allowed is 1 MB

which the server attempts to contact a target server if there is a suspected
communications failure. This parameter is optional. You can specify a number
0 - 9999. The default value is 10 minutes.
RETRYInterval
Specifies the retry interval in seconds. The retry interval is how often retries
are done within a specific time period. This parameter is optional. You can
specify a number 1 - 9999. The default value is 30 seconds.

DEFINE DEVCLASS (Define a VOLSAFE device class)
Use the VOLSAFE device type to work with StorageTek VolSafe brand media and
drives. This technology uses media that cannot be overwritten. Therefore, do not
use these media for short-term backups of client files, the server database, or
export tapes.
Restrictions:
1. NAS-attached libraries are not supported.
2. VolSafe media and read/write media must be in separate storage pools.
3. Check in cartridges with CHECKLABEL=YES on the CHECKIN LIBVOLUME

DEFINE DOMAIN (Define a new policy domain)
Use this command to define a new policy domain. A policy domain contains policy
sets, management classes, and copy groups. A client is assigned to one policy
domain. The ACTIVE policy set in the policy domain determines the rules for
clients that are assigned to the domain. The rules control the archive, backup, and
space management services that are provided for the clients.
You must activate a policy set in the domain before clients assigned to the policy
domain can back up, archive, or migrate files.

Parameters
Specifies the name of the policy domain to be defined. The maximum length of
this name is 30 characters.
DESCription
Specifies a description of the policy domain. This parameter is optional. The
BACKRETention
Specifies the number of days (from the date the backup versions became
inactive) to retain backup versions of files that are no longer on the client file
system. This parameter is optional. You can specify an integer from 0 to 9999.
The default value is 30. The server uses the backup retention value to manage
inactive versions of files when any of the following conditions occur:
v A file is rebound to a new management class, but the new management class
and the default management class do not contain a backup copy group.
v The management class to which a file is bound no longer exists. The default
management class does not contain a backup copy group.
v The backup copy group is deleted from the management class to which a
file is bound. The default management class does not contain a backup copy
group.
ARCHRETention
Specifies the number of days (from the date of archive) to retain archive copies.

This parameter is optional. You can specify an integer from 0 to 30000. The
default value is 365. The server uses the archive retention value to manage
archive copies of files when either of the following conditions occur:
management class does not contain an archive copy group.
v The archive copy group is deleted from the management class to which a
file is bound. The default management class does not contain an archive
copy group.
ACTIVEDESTination
This optional parameter specifies the names of active-data pools that store
active versions of backup data for nodes that are assigned to the domain. You
can specify up to 10 active-data pools for a domain, which is separated by
commas. Spaces are not permitted between the names.
Before the Tivoli Storage Manager server writes data to an active-data pool, it
verifies that the node owning the data is assigned to a domain that has the
active-data pool that is listed in the ACTIVEDESTINATION list. If the server
verifies that the node meets this criteria, the data is stored in the active-data
pool. If the node does not meet the criteria, then the data is not stored in the
active-data pool. If the simultaneous-write function is used to write data to an
active-data pool, the server verifies that the node meets the criteria during
backup operations by Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive clients or by
application clients by using the Tivoli Storage Manager API. The verification is
also performed when active-data is being copied by using the COPY ACTIVEDATA
command.
Example: Define a policy domain
Define a policy domain with a name of PROG1 and the description, Programming
Group Domain. Specify that archive copies are retained for 90 days when
management classes or archive copy groups are deleted and the default
management class does not contain an archive copy group. Also, specify that
backup versions are retained for 60 days when management classes or copy groups
are deleted and the default management class does not contain a backup copy
group.

DEFINE DRIVE (Define a drive to a library)
Use this command to define a drive. Each drive is assigned to a library, and so the
library must be defined before you issue this command.
A path must be defined after you issue the DEFINE DRIVE command to make the
drive usable by Tivoli Storage Manager software. For more information, see
“DEFINE PATH (Define a path)” on page 255. If you are using a SCSI or VTL
library type, see “PERFORM LIBACTION (Define or delete all drives and paths for
a library)” on page 639.
You can define more than one drive for a library by issuing the DEFINE DRIVE
command for each drive. Stand-alone drives always require a manual library.

valid for non-ACSLS libraries.
3 The CLEANFREQUENCY parameter is valid only for drives in SCSI libraries.
4 The CLEANFREQUENCY=ASNEEDED parameter value does not work for
all tape drives. For more information, see the parameter description.
Parameters
Specifies the name of the library to which the drive is assigned. This parameter
is required for all drives, including stand-alone drives. The specified library
must have been previously defined by using the DEFINE LIBRARY command.
Specifies the name that is assigned to the drive. The maximum length of this
SERial
Specifies the serial number for the drive that is being defined. This parameter
is optional. The default is AUTODETECT.
If SERIAL=AUTODETECT, then the serial number reported by the drive when
you define the path is used as the serial number.
If SERIAL=serial_number, then the serial number that is entered is used to
verify that the path to the drive is correct when you define the path.
Note: Depending on the capabilities of the device, SERIAL=AUTODETECT

might not be supported. In this case, the serial number is reported as blank.
ONLine
Specifies whether the drive is available for use. This parameter is optional. The
default is YES.
Yes
Specifies that the drive is available for use.
No Specifies that the drive is not available for use.
ELEMent
Specifies the element address of a drive within a SCSI or virtual tape library
(VTL). The server uses the element address to connect the physical location of
the drive to the SCSI or VTL address of the drive. The default is
AUTODETECT.
If ELEMENT=AUTODETECT, then the element number is automatically
detected by Tivoli Storage Manager when the path to the drive is defined.
To find the element address for your library configuration, consult the
information from the manufacturer.
Restriction:
v The ELEMENT parameter is valid only for drives in SCSI libraries or VTLs
when the drive type is not a network attached SCSI (NAS) drive.
v This parameter is not effective when the command is issued from a library
client server (that is, when the library type is SHARED).
v Depending on the capabilities of the library, ELEMENT=AUTODETECT
might not be supported. In this case, you must supply the element address.
ACSDRVID
Specifies the ID of the drive that is being accessed in an ACSLS library. The
drive ID is a set of numbers that indicates the physical location of a drive
within an ACSLS library. This drive ID must be specified as a,l,p,d, where a is
the ACSID, l is the LSM (library storage module), p is the panel number, and d
is the drive ID. The server needs the drive ID to connect the physical location
of the drive to the drive's SCSI address. See the StorageTek documentation for
details.
CLEANFREQuency
Specifies how often the server activates drive cleaning. This parameter is
optional. For the most complete automation of cleaning for an automated
library, you must have a cleaner cartridge that is checked into the library's
volume inventory.
If you are using library-based cleaning, NONE is advised when your library
type supports this function.
This parameter is not valid for externally managed libraries, such as 3494
libraries or StorageTek libraries that are managed under ACSLS.
Important: There are special considerations if you plan to use server-activated

drive cleaning with a SCSI library that provides automatic drive cleaning
support in its device hardware.
NONE
Specifies that the server does not track cleaning for this drive. This value
can be used for libraries that have their own automatic cleaning.
ASNEEDED
Specifies that the server loads the drive with a checked-in cleaner cartridge
only when a drive reports to the device driver that it needs cleaning.
The CLEANFREQUENCY=ASNEEDED parameter value does not work for all tape
drives. See the Supported Devices website for your operating system to
view detailed drive information. If ASNEEDED is not supported, you can use
the gigabytes value for automatic cleaning.
For IBM 3592 and LTO drives, library-based cleaning is advised. If
library-based cleaning is not supported, then ASNEEDED must be used.
Gigabytes is not recommended.
Restriction: Tivoli Storage Manager does not control the drives that are
connected to the NAS file server. If a drive is attached only to a NAS file
server (no connection to a storage agent or server), do not specify ASNEEDED
for the cleaning frequency.
gigabytes
Specifies, in gigabytes, how much data is processed on the drive before the
server loads the drive with a cleaner cartridge. The server resets the
gigabytes-processed counter each time it loads a cleaner cartridge in the
drive.
Important: When CLEANFREQUENCY=gigabyte, drive cleaning can occur

before the gigabyte setting is reached, if the drive notifies the device driver
that a cleaning is necessary.

Consult the information from the drive manufacturer for cleaning
recommendations. If the information gives recommendations for cleaning
frequency in terms of hours of use, convert to a gigabytes value by doing
the following:
1. Use the bytes-per-second rating for the drive to determine a
gigabytes-per-hour value.
2. Multiply the gigabytes-per-hour value by the recommended hours of
use between cleanings.
3. Use the result as the cleaning frequency value.
Using the cleaning frequency that is recommended by IBM for IBM drives
ensures that the drives are not overcleaned.
For IBM 3590 drives, specify a gigabyte value for the cleaning frequency to
ensure that the drives receive adequate cleaning.
Example: Define a drive to library
Define a drive in a manual library with a library name of LIB01 and a drive name
of DRIVE01.

DEFINE LIBRARY (Define a library)
Use this command to define a library. A library is a collection of one or more
drives, and possibly robotic devices (depending on the library type), which can be
used to access storage volumes.
A library can be accessed by only one source: a Tivoli Storage Manager server or a
data mover. However, the drives in a library can be accessed by multiple sources.
The following library types can be defined to the Tivoli Storage Manager server.
Syntax and parameter descriptions are available for each type.

1 The default value of the RESETDRIVES parameter is conditional. If the SHARED
parameter is set to NO, the value of the RESETDRIVES parameter is NO. If the
SHARED parameter is set to YES, the value of the RESETDRIVES parameter is
YES.
Parameters
Specifies the name of the library to be defined. The maximum length of this
LIBType=349X (Required)
Specifies that the library is an IBM 3494 or 3495 Tape Library Dataserver.
Restriction: IBM 3494 libraries support only one unique device type at a time.
If you currently have an IBM 3494 library with a 3590 drive, complete the
upgrade procedure explained in “Configuring Storage Devices” in the
Administrator's Guide. This procedure separates the library into two distinct
library objects.
SHAREd
Specifies whether this library is shared with other Tivoli Storage Manager
servers in a storage area network (SAN). This parameter is required when you
define a library to the library manager.
YES
Specifies that this library can be shared with other servers. When you
specify YES, the library manager server mounts volumes as requested by
other servers and tracks drive and volume allocation to other servers.
NO Specifies that this library cannot be shared with other servers.
SHARED=NO is required if the library is controlled by passing commands
through a NAS file server.
AUTOLabel
Specifies whether the server attempts to automatically label tape volumes. This
parameter is optional. The default is YES.
To use this option, you must check in the tapes with
CHECKLABEL=BARCODE on the CHECKIN LIBVOLUME command.
No Specifies that the server does not attempt to label any volumes.
Yes
Specifies that the server labels only unlabeled volumes.
OVERWRITE
Specifies that the server attempts to overwrite an existing label. The server
overwrites existing labels only if both the existing label and the bar code
label are not already defined in any server storage pool or volume history
list.
SCRATCHCATegory
Specifies the category number to be used for scratch volumes in the library.
This parameter is optional. The default value is 301 (becomes X'12D' on the
IBM 3494 since it uses hexadecimal values). You can specify a number from 1
to 65279. This number must be unique. It cannot be shared with other
applications or defined libraries, and it must be different from the other
category numbers in this library.
PRIVATECATegory
Specifies the category number for private volumes that must be mounted by
name. This parameter is optional. The default value is 300 (this value becomes
X'12C' on the IBM 3494 because it uses hexadecimal values). You can specify a
number from 1 to 65279. This number must be unique. It cannot be shared
with other applications or defined libraries, and it must be different from the
other category numbers in this library.
WORMSCRatchcategory
Specifies the category number to be used for WORM scratch volumes in the
library. This parameter is required if you use WORM volumes. You can specify
a number from 1 to 65279. This number must be unique. It cannot be shared
other category numbers in this library. This parameter is only valid when 3592
WORM volumes are used.
Restriction: If the WORMSCRATCHCATEGORY is not defined and the WORM parameter

is set to YES for the device class, the mount operation fails with an error
message.
RESETDrives
Specifies whether the server preempts a drive reservation with persistent
reserve when the server is restarted or when a library client or storage agent
reconnection is established. If, for example, a storage agent becomes
unavailable but is still holding the path to a drive, persistent reserve allows the
server to break the storage agent’s reservation and access the drive.

If persistent reserve is not supported, the server is not able to reset the path to
the target device.
Support for persistent reservation has the following limitations:
v If you are using the Tivoli Storage Manager device driver, persistent reserve
is only supported on some tape drives. See Technote 1470319 at
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21470319 for details.
v If you are using the IBM device driver, persistent reserve must be enabled at
the device driver level. See the IBM Tape Device Drivers Installation and User's
Guide at http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=ssg1S7002972 for
information about driver configuration.
v If you are using a virtual tape library that is emulating a supported drive, it
might not support persistent reserve.
The following table describes the three possible configurations for drives that
are attached to NAS devices.
| Table 75. Configurations for drives that are attached to NAS devices.
| Library device configuration The behavior for persistent reserve

|
Yes
Specifies that drive preemption through persistent reserve is used. YES is
the default for a library that is defined with SHARED=YES.
No Specifies that drive preemption through persistent reserve is not used. NO
is the default for a library that is defined with SHARED=NO.
Note: A library manager will not be able to break a drive reservation if the
system that has the drive reservation is not configured to use persistent
reservation.
Example: Define a 3494 library
Define a library named my3494 with a scratch category number of 550, a private
category number of 600, and a WORM scratch category number of 400

Syntax
DEFine LIBRary library_name LIBType = EXTernal
AUTOLabel = Yes

AUTOLabel = No
Yes
OVERWRITE
Parameters
LIBType=EXTernal (Required)
Specifies that the library is managed by an external media management
system. This library type does not support drive definitions with the DEFINE
DRIVE command. Rather, the external media management system identifies the
appropriate drive for media access operations.
In an IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Storage Area Networks environment,
this parameter specifies that StorageTek Automated Cartridge System Library
Software (ACSLS) or Library Station software controls the library. Software,
such as Gresham EDT-DistribuTAPE, allows multiple servers to share the
library. The drives in this library are not defined to Tivoli Storage Manager.
ACSLS identifies the drive for media operations.

Example: Define an external library for a SAN configuration
For an IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Storage Area Networks configuration,
define a library named EXTLIB with the library type of EXTERNAL. If you are
using Gresham Enterprise DistribuTAPE, the external library manager executable
file is in the following directory:
/opt/OMIdtelm/bin/elm
If you are using the IBM Tape System Library Manager, the external library
manager executable file can be found in the following directory:
/opt/IBM/TSLM/client/tsm/elm
For more information, see the IBM Tape System Library Manager User's Guide at

Privilege class
privilege.
Syntax
SHAREd = No
DEFine LIBRary library_name LIBType = FILE
SHAREd = Yes
No
Parameters
LIBType=FILE (Required)
Specifies that a pseudo-library is created for sequential file volumes. When you
issue the DEFINE DEVCLASS command with DEVTYPE=FILE and SHARED=YES
parameters, this occurs automatically. FILE libraries are necessary only when
sharing sequential file volumes between the server and one or more storage
agents. The use of FILE libraries requires library sharing. Shared FILE libraries
are supported for use in LAN-free backup configurations only. You cannot use
a shared FILE library in an environment in which a library manager is used to
manage library clients.
SHAREd

SERial
Specifies the serial number for the library that is being defined. This parameter
If SERIAL=AUTODETECT, then when you define the path to the library, the
serial number reported by the library is used as the serial number.
If SERIAL=serial_number, then the number you entered is compared to the
number detected by Tivoli Storage Manager.
Attention: Depending on the capabilities of the device,

SERIAL=AUTODETECT might not be supported. In this case, the serial
number is reported as blank.
Example: Define a SCSI library
Define a library that is named SCSILIB with a library type of SCSI.

define library scsilib libtype=scsi
The library requires a path. The device name for the library is:
/dev/rmt/01b

Parameters
LIBType=VTL (Required)
Specifies that the library has a SCSI-controlled media changer device that is
represented by a virtual tape library. To mount volumes in drives in this type
of library, Tivoli Storage Manager uses the media changer device.
If you are defining a VTL library, your environment must not include any
mixed-media and paths must be defined between all drives in the library and

Parameters
Specifies the policy set to which the management class belongs. You cannot
define a management class to the ACTIVE policy set.
Specifies the name of the new management class. The maximum length of this
name is 30 characters. You cannot use either default or grace_period as a class
name.
SPACEMGTECHnique
Specifies whether a file that is using this management class is eligible for
migration. This parameter is optional. The default is NONE. This parameter is
effective only for Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management clients, not for
backup-archive clients or application clients. Possible values are:
AUTOmatic
Specifies that the file is eligible for both automatic migration and selective
migration.
SELective
Specifies that the file is eligible for selective migration only.
NONE
Specifies that the file is not eligible for migration.
AUTOMIGNOnuse
Specifies the number of days that must elapse since a file was last accessed
before it is eligible for automatic migration. This parameter is optional. The
default value is 0. If SPACEMGTECHNIQUE is not AUTOMATIC, the server
ignores this attribute. You can specify an integer in the range 0 - 9999.
This parameter is effective only for Tivoli Storage Manager for Space
Management clients, not for backup-archive clients or application clients.
MIGREQUIRESBkup
Specifies whether a backup version of a file must exist before a file can be
migrated. This parameter is optional. The default is YES. This parameter is
effective only for Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management clients, not for
backup-archive clients or application clients. Possible values are:
Yes
Specifies that a backup version must exist.
No Specifies that a backup version is optional.
MIGDESTination
Specifies the primary storage pool where the server initially stores files that are
migrated by Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management clients. This
parameter is effective only for Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management
clients, and is not effective for backup-archive clients or application clients. The
default is SPACEMGPOOL.
Your choice for the destination might depend on factors such as the following:
v The number of client nodes that are migrated to the storage pool. When
many user files are stored in the same storage pool, volume contention can
occur as users try to migrate files to or recall files from the storage pool.
v How quickly the files must be recalled. If you need immediate access to
migrated versions, you can specify a disk storage pool as the destination.
The command fails if you specify a copy storage pool or an active-data pool as
the destination.
DESCription
Specifies a description of the management class. This parameter is optional.
The maximum length of the description is 255 characters. Enclose the
description in quotation marks if it contains any blank characters.
Example: Define a management class for a specific policy set

and policy domain
Define a management class that is called MCLASS1 for policy set SUMMER in the
PROG1 policy domain. For Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management clients,

allow both automatic and selective migration, and store migrated files in the

Parameters
source_name (Required)
Specifies the name of source for the path. This parameter is required.
destination_name (Required)
Specifies the name of the destination. This parameter is required.
SRCType (Required)
Specifies the type of the source. This parameter is required. Possible values are:
DATAMover
Specifies that a data mover is the source.
SERVer
Specifies that a storage agent is the source.
AUTODetect
Specifies whether the serial number for a drive is automatically updated in the
database at the time that the path is defined. This parameter is optional. This
parameter is only valid for paths that are defined from the local server to a
drive. Possible values are:
No Specifies that the serial number is not automatically updated. The serial
number is still compared with what is already in the database for the
device. The server issues a message if there is a mismatch.
Yes
Specifies that the serial number is not automatically updated to reflect the
same serial number that the drive reports to Tivoli Storage Manager.
Important:
1. If you did not set the serial number when you defined the drive, the
server always tries to detect the serial number, and AUTODETECT
defaults to YES. If you previously entered a serial number, then
AUTODETECT defaults to NO.
2. The use of AUTODETECT=YES in this command means that the serial
number set in the drive definition is updated with the detected serial
number.
3. If you set DESTTYPE=DRIVE and AUTODETECT=YES, then the drive
element number in the Tivoli Storage Manager database is
automatically changed to reflect the same element number that
corresponds to the serial number of that drive. This is true for drives in
a SCSI library. For more information about the element number, see
DEFINE DRIVE.
4. Depending on the capabilities of the device, the AUTODETECT
parameter might not be supported.
DESTType=DRive (Required)
Specifies that a drive is the destination. When the destination is a drive, you
must specify a library name.
LIBRary
Specifies the name of the library to which the drive is assigned. The library
and its drives must already be defined to the Tivoli Storage Manager server. If
the path is from a NAS data mover to a library, the library must have LIBTYPE
of SCSI, 349X, or ACSLS.
DEVIce
Specifies the name of the device as known to the source, or FILE if the device
is a logical drive in a FILE library.
The source uses the device name to access the drive. See Table 84 for examples.
Table 84. Examples of device names
Source to destination Example
Server to a drive (not a FILE drive) /dev/rmt/3mt
Storage agent (on a Windows system) to a drive (not a mt3
FILE drive)
Storage agent to a drive when the drive is a logical FILE
drive in a FILE library
NAS data mover to a drive NetApp NAS file server: rst0l
EMC Celerra NAS file server:

c436t0l1
IBM System Storage N Series: rst0l
Important:
v For more information about device names when the source is a server, see
v For information about the device name when the source is a storage agent,
see the Storage Agent User's Guide.
v For 349X libraries, the alias name is a symbolic name that is specified in the
/etc/ibmatl.conf file. For more information, refer to the IBM Tape Device
Drivers Installation and User’s Guide. The guide can be downloaded from the

IBM Systems support site at the following URL: http://www.ibm.com/
support/docview.wss?uid=ssg1S7002972.
v For information about how to obtain names for devices that are connected to
a NAS file server, consult the product information for the file server. For
example, for a NetApp file server, connect to the file server using Telnet and
issue the SYSCONFIG command. Use this command to determine device
names for drives:
sysconfig -t
ONLine
Specifies whether the path is available for use. This parameter is optional. The
default is YES. Possible values are:
Yes
Specifies that the path is available for use.
No Specifies that the path is not available for use.
The source and the destination must both be available to use the path.
For example, if the path from a data mover to a drive is online, but either the
data mover or the drive is offline, you cannot use the path.
DIRectory
Specifies the directory location or locations where the storage agent reads and
writes the files that represent storage volumes for the FILE device class that is
associated with the FILE library. The DIRECTORY parameter is also used for
devices of type REMOVABLEFILE. For REMOVABLEFILE devices, the
DIRECTORY parameter provides information for the server (not a storage
agent) along with the DRIVE parameter to describe access to the device. This
parameter is optional.
For a path from a storage agent to a FILE device, this parameter is only valid
when all of the following conditions are true:
v The source type is SERVER (meaning a storage agent that has been defined
as a server to this server).
v The source name is the name of a storage agent, not the server.
v The destination is a logical drive that is part of a FILE library that is created
when the device class was defined.
If you specified multiple directories for the device class associated with the
FILE library, you must specify the same number of directories for each path to
the FILE library. Do not change or move existing directories on the server that
the storage agent is using so that the device class and the path remain
synchronized. Adding directories is permitted. Specifying a mismatched
number of directories can cause a runtime failure.
The default value for DIRECTORY is the directory of the server at the time the
command is issued. The Windows registry is used to locate the default value.
Use a naming convention that you can use to associate the directory with a
particular physical drive. This can help ensure that your configuration is valid
for sharing the FILE library between the server and storage agent. If the
storage agent is on a Windows system, use a universal naming convention
(UNC) name. When the storage agent lacks permission to access remote
storage, it experiences mount failures.
Attention:
1. Storage agents access FILE volumes by replacing a directory name in a
volume name with a directory name from a directory in the list provided
with the DEFINE PATH command. Directories that are specified with this
parameter are not validated on the Tivoli Storage Manager server.
2. Tivoli Storage Manager does not create shares or permissions, or mount the
target file system. You must complete these actions before you start the
storage agent.
Example: Define a path from a server to a drive
Define a path from a server to a drive. In this case, the server name is NET1, the
drive name is TAPEDRV6, the library is NETLIB, and the device name is mt4. Set
AUTODETECT to NO.
define path net1 tapedrv6 srctype=server autodetect=no desttype=drive
library=netlib device=mt4
Example: Define a path from a data mover server to a drive for backup
and restore
Define a path from the data mover that is a NAS file server to the drive that the
NAS file server will use for backup and restore operations. In this example, the
NAS data mover is NAS1, the drive name is TAPEDRV3, the library is NASLIB,
and the device name for the drive is rst0l.
define path nas1 tapedrv3 srctype=datamover desttype=drive library=naslib
device=rst0l
Example: Define a path from a storage agent to a drive for backup and
restore
Define a path from storage agent SA1 to the drive that the storage agent uses for
backup and restore operations. In this example, the library is TSMLIB, the drive is
TAPEDRV4, and the device name for the drive is /dev/mt3.
define path sa1 tapedrv4 srctype=server desttype=drive library=tsmlib
device=/dev/mt3
Example: Define a path to give a storage agent access to shared disk

storage
Define a path that gives the storage agent access to files on disk storage that is
shared with the Tivoli Storage Manager server. Drive FILE9 is defined to library
FILE1 on the server. The storage agent SA1 accesses FILE9. On the storage agent,
this data is on directory \\192.168.1.10\filedata.
The data for FILE9 resides on the server at /tsmdata/filedata.

define path sa1 file9 srctype=server desttype=drive library=file1 device=file
directory="\\192.168.1.10\filedata"
Example: Configure a storage agent to use a FILE library
The following example illustrates the importance of matching device classes and
paths to ensure that storage agents can access newly created FILE volumes.
Suppose you want to use these three directories for a FILE library:
v /opt/tivoli1

v /opt/tivoli2
v /opt/tivoli3
1. Use the following command to set up a FILE library named CLASSA with one
drive named CLASSA1 on SERVER1:
define devclass classa devtype=file
directory="/opt/tivoli1,/opt/tivoli2,/opt/tivoli3"
shared=yes mountlimit=1
2. You want the storage agent STA1 to be able to use the FILE library, so you
define the following path for storage agent STA1:
define path sta1 classa1 srctype=server desttype=drive device=file
directory="/opt/ibm1,/opt/ibm2,/opt/ibm3" library=classa
In this scenario, the storage agent, STA1, replaces the directory name
/opt/tivoli1 with the directory name /opt/ibm1/ to access FILE volumes that
are in the /opt/tivoli1 directory on the server.
DEFINE PATH (Define a path when the destination is a library)
Use this syntax when defining a path to a library.
Privilege class
To issue this command you must have system privilege or unrestricted storage
privilege.

Parameters
Attention: To define a path from a NAS data mover to a library, the library
must have LIBTYPE of SCSI, 349x, or ACSLS.
SRCType (Required)
DATAMover
SERVer
AUTODetect
Specifies whether the serial number for a drive or library will be automatically
updated in the database at the time that the path is defined. This parameter is
optional. This parameter is only valid for paths defined from the local server to
a drive or a library. Possible values are:
No Specifies that the serial number will not be automatically updated. The
serial number is still compared with what is already in the database for the
device. The server issues a message if there is a mismatch.
Yes
Specifies that the serial number will be automatically updated to reflect the

Important:
1. If you did not set the serial number when you defined the drive or the
library, the server always tries to detect the serial number, and
AUTODETECT defaults to YES. If you have previously entered a serial
number, then AUTODETECT defaults to NO.
2. The use of AUTODETECT=YES in this command means that the serial
number set in the drive or library definition is updated with the
detected serial number.

names for drives:
sysconfig -t
Use this command to determine the device name for a library:

sysconfig -m
EXTERNALManager
Specifies the location of the external library manager where Tivoli Storage
Manager can send media access requests. Use single quotation marks around
the value of this parameter. For example, enter:
/opt/GESedt-acsls/bin/elmdt
This parameter is required when the library name is an external library.
ONLine
Specifies whether the path is available for use. This parameter is optional. The
default is YES. Possible values are:
Yes
Attention: If the path to a library is offline, the server will not be able to
access the library. If the server is halted and restarted while the path to the
library is offline, the library will not be initialized. See the Administrator's Guide
for additional information.
Example: Define a path from a server to a library
Define a path from the server SATURN to the SCSI type library SCSILIB:
define path saturn scsilib srctype=server
desttype=library device=/dev/rmt/lb3

DEFINE POLICYSET (Define a policy set)
Use this command to define a policy set in a policy domain. A policy set contains
management classes, which contain copy groups. You can define one or more
policy sets for each policy domain.
To put a policy set into effect, you must activate the policy set by using the
ACTIVATE POLICYSET command. Only one policy set can be active in a policy
domain. The copy groups and management classes within the active policy set
determine the rules by which client nodes perform backup, archive, and space
management operations, and how the client files stored are managed.
Use the VALIDATE POLICYSET command to verify that a policy set is complete and
valid before activating it with the ACTIVATE POLICYSET command.
Privilege class
To issue this command you must have system privilege, unrestricted policy
set belongs.
Syntax
DEFine POlicyset domain_name policy_set_name

Parameters
Specifies the name of the policy domain to which the policy set belongs.
Specifies the name of the policy set. The maximum length of this name is 30
characters. You cannot define a policy set named ACTIVE.
DESCription
Specifies a description for the new policy set. This parameter is optional. The

DEFINE PROFASSOCIATION (Define a profile association)
Use this command on a configuration manager to associate one or more objects
with a configuration profile for distribution to subscribing managed servers. After
a managed server subscribes to a profile, the configuration manager sends object
definitions associated with the profile to the managed server where they are stored
in the database. Objects created this way in the database of a managed server
become managed objects. An object can be associated with more than one profile.
You can use this command to define an initial set of profile associations and to add
to existing associations.
You can associate the following types of objects with a profile:

v Administrator registrations and authorities
v Policy domains, which include the domains' policy sets, management classes,
copy groups, and client schedules
v Administrative schedules
v Server command scripts
v Client option sets
v Server definitions
v Server group definitions
Tip: The configuration manager does not distribute status information for an
object to managed servers. For example, information such as the number of days
since an administrator last accessed the server is not distributed to managed
servers. This type of information is maintained in the databases of the individual
managed servers.

Parameters
profile_name (Required)
Specifies the name of the configuration profile.
ADMins
Specifies administrators to associate with the profile. You can use wildcard
characters in the names. You can specify more than one name by separating
the names with commas and no intervening spaces. Use the match-all
definition, an asterisk (*) by itself, to specify all administrators that are
registered with the configuration manager. If you specify the match-all
definition and later add more administrators, they are automatically
distributed through the profile.
The configuration manager distributes the administrator name, password,
contact information, and authorities of administrators associated with the
profile. The configuration manager does not distribute the following:
v The administrator named SERVER_CONSOLE, even if you use a match-all
definition
v The locked or unlocked status of an administrator
When the profile already has administrators associated with it, the following
apply:
v If you specify a list of administrators and a list already exists, Tivoli Storage
Manager combines the new list with the existing list.
v If you specify a match-all definition and a list of administrators already
exists, Tivoli Storage Manager replaces the list with the match-all definition.
v If you specify a list of administrators, and a match-all definition had
previously been specified, Tivoli Storage Manager ignores the list. To remove
the match-all definition, issue the DELETE PROFASSOCIATION command
with the ADMINS=* parameter.
DOmains
Specifies policy domains to associate with the profile. You can use wildcard
definition, an asterisk (*) by itself, to specify all domains that are defined on
the configuration manager. If you specify the match-all definition and later add
more domains, they are automatically distributed through the profile.
The configuration manager distributes domain information that includes
definitions of policy domains, policy sets, management classes, copy groups,
and client schedules. The configuration manager does not distribute the
ACTIVE policy set. Administrators on a managed server can activate any
policy set within a managed domain on a managed server.

When the profile already has domains associated with it, the following apply:
v If you specify a list of domains and a list already exists, Tivoli Storage
v If you use a match-all definition and a list of domains already exists, Tivoli
Storage Manager replaces the list with the match-all definition.
v If you specify a list of domains, and a match-all definition had previously
been specified, Tivoli Storage Manager ignores the list. To remove the
match-all definition, issue the DELETE PROFASSOCIATION command with the
DOMAINS=* parameter.
Important: Client operations such as backup and archive fail if destination

pools do not exist. Therefore, managed servers that subscribe to this profile
must have definitions for any storage pools specified as destinations in the
associated domains. Use the RENAME STGPOOL command to rename existing
storage pools to match the destination names distributed.
ADSCHeds
Specifies administrative schedules to associate with the profile. You can use
wildcard characters in the names. You can specify more than one name by
separating the names with commas and no intervening spaces. Use the
match-all definition, an asterisk (*) by itself, to specify all administrative
schedules that are defined on the configuration manager. If you specify the
match-all definition and later add more administrative schedules, they are
automatically distributed through the profile.
Tip: Administrative schedules are not active when they are distributed by a
configuration manager. An administrator on a managed server must activate
any schedule to have it run on that server.
When the profile already has administrative schedules associated with it, the
following apply:
v If you specify a list of administrative schedules and a list already exists,
Tivoli Storage Manager combines the new list with the existing list.
v If you use a match-all definition and a list of administrative schedules
already exists, Tivoli Storage Manager replaces the list with the match-all
definition.
v If you specify a list of administrative schedules, and a match-all definition
had previously been specified, Tivoli Storage Manager ignores the list. To
remove the match-all definition, issue the DELETE PROFASSOCIATION
command with the ADSCHEDS=* parameter.
SCRipts
Specifies server command scripts to associate with the profile. You can use
match-all definition, an asterisk (*) by itself, to specify all scripts that are
defined on the configuration manager. If you specify the match-all definition
and later add more scripts, they are automatically distributed through the
profile.
When the profile already has scripts associated with it, the following apply:
v If you specify a list of scripts and a list already exists, Tivoli Storage
v If you use a match-all definition and a list of scripts already exists, Tivoli
v If you specify a list of scripts, and a match-all definition had previously been

definition, issue the DELETE PROFASSOCIATION command with the
SCRIPTS=* parameter.
CLOptsets
Specifies client option sets to associate with the profile. You can use wildcard
definition, an asterisk (*) by itself, to specify all client option sets that are
and later add more client option sets, they are automatically distributed
through the profile.
When the profile already has client option sets associated with it, the following
apply:
v If you specify a list of client option sets and a list already exists, Tivoli
Storage Manager combines the new list with the existing list.
v If you use a match-all definition and a list of client option sets already exists,
Tivoli Storage Manager replaces the list with the match-all definition.
v If you specify a list of client option sets, and a match-all definition had
the match-all definition, issue the DELETE PROFASSOCIATION command with
the CLOPSETS=* parameter.
SERVers
Specifies server definitions to associate with the profile. The definitions are
distributed to managed servers that subscribe to this profile. You can use
match-all definition, an asterisk (*) by itself, to specify all servers that are
and later add more servers, they are automatically distributed through the
profile.
The configuration manager distributes the following server attributes:
communication method, IP address, port address, server password, URL, and
the description. Distributed server definitions always have the
ALLOWREPLACE attribute set to YES on the managed server, regardless of
this parameter's value on the configuration manager. On the managed server,
you can use the UPDATE SERVER command to set all other attributes.
When the profile already has servers associated with it, the following apply:
v If you specify a list of servers and a list already exists, Tivoli Storage
v If you use a match-all definition and a list of servers already exists, Tivoli
v If you specify a list of servers, and a match-all definition had previously
been specified, Tivoli Storage Manager ignores the list. To remove the
match-all definition, issue the DELETE PROFASSOCIATION command with
the SERVERS=* parameter.
Important:
1. A server definition on a managed server is not replaced by a definition
from the configuration manager unless you have allowed replacement of
the definition on the managed server. To allow replacement, on the

managed server update the server definition by using the UPDATE SERVER
command with ALLOWREPLACE=YES.
2. If a configuration manager distributes a server definition to a managed
server, and a server group of the same name exists on the managed server,
the distributed server definition replaces the server group definition.
SERVERGroups
Specifies server groups to associate with the profile. You can use wildcard
definition, an asterisk (*) by itself, to specify all server groups that are defined
on the configuration manager. If you specify the match-all definition and later
add more server groups, they are automatically distributed through the profile.
Tip: A configuration manager does not distribute a server group definition to

a managed server if the managed server has a server defined with the same
name as that of the server group.
When the profile already has server groups associated with it, the following
apply:
v If you specify a list of server groups and a list already exists, Tivoli Storage
v If you use a match-all definition and a list of server groups already exists,
Tivoli Storage Manager replaces the list with the match-all definition.
v If you specify a list of server groups, and a match-all definition had
the match-all definition, issue the DELETE PROFASSOCIATION command
with the SERVERGROUPS=* parameter.
Example: Associate a specific domain with a specific profile
Associate a domain named MARKETING with a profile named DELTA.

DEFINE SCHEDULE (Define a client or an administrative
command schedule)
Use this command to create a client or administrative command schedule.
The DEFINE SCHEDULE command takes two forms: one if the schedule applies to
client operations, one if the schedule applies to administrative commands. Within
these two forms, you can select either classic or enhanced style schedules. The
syntax and parameters for each form are defined separately.
v “DEFINE SCHEDULE (Define a schedule for an administrative command)” on
page 293
v “DEFINE SCHEDULE (Define a client schedule)” on page 279
For each schedule, a startup window is specified. The startup window is the time
period during which the schedule must be initiated. The schedule will not
necessarily complete processing within this window. If the server is not running
when this window starts, but is started before the end of the defined window is
reached, the schedule will run when the server is restarted. Options associated
with each schedule style (classic and enhanced) determine when the startup
windows should begin.
Table 91. Commands related to DEFINE SCHEDULE
Command Description
COPY SCHEDULE Creates a copy of a schedule.
SET MAXCMDRETRIES Specifies the maximum number of retries
after a failed attempt to execute a scheduled
command.
SET MAXSCHEDSESSIONS Specifies the maximum number of
client/server sessions available for processing
scheduled work.
SET RETRYPERIOD Specifies the time between retry attempts by
the client scheduler.
DEFINE SCHEDULE (Define a client schedule)
Use the DEFINE SCHEDULE command to define a client schedule. Tivoli Storage
Manager uses this schedule to automatically perform a variety of client operations
for your client workstation at specified intervals or days. After you define a
schedule, use the DEFINE ASSOCIATION command to associate the client with the
schedule.
You must start the client scheduler on the client workstation for Tivoli Storage
Manager to process the schedule.
Not all clients can run all scheduled operations, even though you can define the
schedule on the server and associate it with the client. For example, a Macintosh
client cannot run a schedule when the action is to restore or retrieve files, or run
an executable script. An executable script is also known as a command file, a batch
file, or a script on different client operating systems.
Tivoli Storage Manager cannot run multiple schedules concurrently for the same
client node.
Privilege class
To define a client schedule, you must have system privilege, unrestricted policy
privilege, or restricted policy privilege for the policy domain to which the schedule
belongs.

Deploy
Specifies whether to update client workstations with deployment packages
that are specified with the OBJECTS parameter. The OBJECTS parameter must
contain two specifications, the package files to retrieve and the location
from which to retrieve them. Ensure that the objects are in the order files
location. For example:

PRIority
Specifies the priority value for a schedule. This parameter is optional. You can
specify an integer from 1 to 10, with 1 being the highest priority and 10 being
the lowest. The default is 5.
If two or more schedules have the same window start time, the value you
specify determines when Tivoli Storage Manager processes the schedule. The
schedule with the highest priority starts first. For example, a schedule with
PRIORITY=3 starts before a schedule with PRIORITY=5.
STARTDate
Specifies the date for the beginning of the window in which the schedule is
first processed. This parameter is optional. The default is the current date. Use
this parameter with the STARTTIME parameter to specify when the initial startup
window of the schedule starts.
You can specify the date using one of the values below:

TODAY+days or The current date plus days TODAY +3 or +3.
+days specified. The maximum
number of days you can specify
is 9999.
Last Month) month.
month.
BOTM The first day of the current BOTM
(Beginning Of month.
This Month)
STARTTime
Specifies the time for the beginning of the window in which the schedule is
first processed. This parameter is optional. The default is the current time. This
parameter is used in conjunction with the STARTDATE parameter to specify
when the initial startup window begins.
You can specify the time using one of the values below:

HH:MM:SS A specific time 10:30:08
NOW The current time NOW
NOW+HH:MM The current time plus hours and NOW+02:00 or +02:00.
or +HH:MM minutes specified
If you issue this command at 5:00 with
STARTTIME=NOW+02:00 or
STARTTIME=+02:00, the beginning of
the startup window is at 7:00.
NOW-HH:MM The current time minus hours NOW-02:00 or –02:00.
or -HH:MM and minutes specified
STARTTIME=NOW–02:00 or
STARTTIME=-02:00, the beginning of
DURation
Specifies the number of units that define the length of the startup window of
the scheduled operation. This parameter is optional. This value must be from 1
to 999. The default is 1.
Use this parameter with the DURUNITS parameter to specify the length of the
startup window. For example, if you specify DURATION=20 and
DURUNITS=MINUTES, the schedule must be started within 20 minutes of the
start date and start time. The default length of the startup window is 1 hour.
The duration of the window must be shorter than the period between
windows.
This value is ignored if you specify DURUNITS=INDEFINITE.
Tip: Define schedules with durations longer than 10 minutes. Doing this will
give the Tivoli Storage Manager scheduler enough time to process the schedule
and prompt the client.
DURUnits
Specifies the time units used to determine the duration of the window in
which the schedule can start. This parameter is optional. The default is
HOURS.
Use this parameter with the DURATION parameter to specify how long the
startup window remains open to process the schedule. For example, if
DURATION=20 and DURUNITS=MINUTES, the schedule must be started
within 20 minutes of the start date and start time. The schedule may not
necessarily complete processing within this window. If the schedule needs to
be retried for any reason, the retry attempts must begin before the startup
window elapses, or the operation does not restart.
The default value for the length of the startup window is 1 hour. Possible
values are:
Minutes
Specifies that the duration of the window is defined in minutes.
Hours
Specifies that the duration of the window is defined in hours.
Days
Specifies that the duration of the window is defined in days.
INDefinite
Specifies that the startup window of the scheduled operation has an
indefinite duration. The schedule can run any time after the scheduled

start time, until the schedule expires. You cannot specify
DURUNITS=INDEFINITE, unless you specify PERUNITS=ONETIME. The
INDEFINITE value is not allowed with enhanced schedules.
| MAXRUNtime
| Specifies the maximum run time, which is the number of minutes during
| which all client sessions that are started by the scheduled operation should be
| completed. If sessions are still running after the maximum run time, the server
| issues a warning message, but the sessions continue to run.
| Tip: The maximum run time is calculated from the beginning of the startup
| window and not from the time that sessions start within the startup window.
| Restrictions:
| v The value of the parameter is not distributed to servers that are managed by
| an enterprise configuration manager.
| v The value of the parameter is not exported by the EXPORT command.
| The parameter is optional. You can specify a number in the range 0-1440. The
| default value is 0. A value of 0 means that the maximum run time is indefinite,
| and no warning message is issued. The maximum run time must be greater
| than the startup window duration, which is defined by the DURATION and
| DURUNITS parameters.
| For example, if the start time of a scheduled operation is 9:00 PM, and the
| duration of the startup window is 2 hours, the startup window is 9:00 PM -
| 11:00 PM. If the maximum run time is 240 minutes, that is, 4 hours, all client
| sessions for this operation should be completed by 1:00 AM. If one or more
| sessions are still running after 1:00 AM, the server issues a warning message.
| Tip: Alternatively, you can specify a Run time alert value of 1:00 AM in the
| Tivoli Storage Manager Operations Center.
SCHEDStyle
This parameter is optional. SCHEDSTYLE defines either the interval between
times when a schedule can run, or the days on which it runs. The default is
the classic syntax.
Classic
The parameters for the Classic syntax are: PERIOD, PERUNITS, and
DAYOFWEEK. You cannot use these parameters: MONTH,
DAYOFMONTH, and WEEKOFMONTH.
Enhanced
The parameters for the Enhanced syntax are: MONTH, DAYOFMONTH,
WEEKOFMONTH, and DAYOFWEEK. You cannot use these parameters:
PERIOD and PERUNITS.
PERiod
Specifies the length of time between startup windows for this schedule. This
parameter is optional. This parameter is used only with classic schedules. You
can specify an integer from 1 to 999. The default is 1.
Use this parameter with the PERUNITS parameter to specify the period between
startup windows. For example, if you specify PERIOD=5 and
PERUNITS=DAYS (assuming that DAYOFWEEK=ANY), the operation is
scheduled every five days after the initial start date and start time. The period
between startup windows must exceed the duration of each window. The
default is 1 day.
This value is ignored if you specify PERUNITS=ONETIME.
PERUnits
Specifies the time units used to determine the period between startup windows
for this schedule. This parameter is optional. This parameter is used only with
classic schedules. The default is DAYS.
Use this parameter with the PERIOD parameter to specify the period between
scheduled every 5 days after the initial start date and start time. The default is
1 day. Possible values are:
Hours
Specifies that the time between startup windows is in hours.
Days
Specifies that the time between startup windows is in days.
Weeks
Specifies that the time between startup windows is in weeks.
Months
Specifies that the time between startup windows is in months.
When you specify PERUNITS=MONTHS, the scheduled operation will be
processed each month on the same date. For example, if the start date for
the scheduled operation is 02/04/1998, the schedule will process on the
4th of every month thereafter. However, if the date is not valid for the next
month, then the scheduled operation will be processed on the last valid
date in the month. Thereafter, subsequent operations are based on this new
date. For example, if the start date is 03/31/1998, the next month's
operation will be scheduled for 04/30/1998. Thereafter, all subsequent
operations will be on the 30th of the month until February. Because
February has only 28 days, the operation will be scheduled for 02/28/1999.
Subsequent operations will be processed on the 28th of the month.
Years
Specifies that the time between startup windows for the schedule is in
years.
When you specify PERUNITS=YEARS, the scheduled operation will be
processed on the same month and date of each year. For example, if the
start date for the scheduled operation is 02/29/2004, the next year's
scheduled operation will be 02/28/2005 because February only has 28
days. Thereafter, subsequent operations will be scheduled for February
28th.
Onetime
Specifies that the schedule processes once. This value overrides the value
you specified for the PERIOD parameter.
DAYofweek
Specifies the day of the week on which the startup window for the schedule
begins. This parameter is optional. You can specify different options for the
DAYofweek parameter, depending on whether the schedule style has been
defined as Classic or Enhanced:

Classic Schedule
Specifies the day of the week on which the startup window for the
schedule begins. This parameter is optional. You can either specify one
day of the week, or WEEKDAY, WEEKEND, or ANY. If the start date
and start time fall on a day that does not correspond to a day you
specify, the start date and start time will be shifted forward in 24–hour
increments until the DAYOFWEEK parameter is satisfied.
If you select a value for DAYOFWEEK other than ANY, and depending on
the values for PERIOD and PERUNITS, schedules may not be
processed when you would expect. The default is ANY.
Enhanced Schedule
Specifies the days of the week on which to run the schedule. You can
either specify multiple days separated by commas and no intervening
blanks, or WEEKDAY, WEEKEND, or ANY. If you specify multiple
days, the schedule will run on each of the specified days. If you
specify WEEKDAY or WEEKEND, you must also specify either
WEEKOFMONTH=FIRST or WEEKOFMONTH=LAST, and the
schedule will run just once per month.
The default value is ANY, meaning the schedule will run every day of
the week or on the day or days determined by other enhanced
schedule parameters. DAYOFWEEK must have a value of ANY (either by
default or specified with the command) when used with the
DAYOFMONTH parameter.
Possible values for the DAYofweek parameter are:
ANY
Specifies that the startup window can begin on any day of the week.
WEEKDay
Specifies that the startup window can begin on Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday.
WEEKEnd
Specifies that the startup window can begin on Saturday or Sunday.
SUnday
Specifies that the startup window begins on Sunday.
Monday
Specifies that the startup window begins on Monday.
TUesday
Specifies that the startup window begins on Tuesday.
Wednesday
Specifies that the startup window begins on Wednesday.
THursday
Specifies that the startup window begins on Thursday.
Friday
Specifies that the startup window begins on Friday.
SAturday
Specifies that the startup window begins on Saturday.
MONth
Specifies the months of the year during which to run the schedule. This
parameter is used only with enhanced schedules. Specify multiple values by
using commas and no intervening blanks. The default value is ANY, which
means that the schedule runs during every month of the year.
DAYOFMonth
Specifies the day of the month to run the schedule. This parameter is used
only with enhanced schedules. You can either specify ANY or a number from
-31 through 31, excluding zero. Negative values are a day from the end of the
month, counting backwards. For example, the last day of the month is -1, the
next-to-the-last day of the month is -2, and so on. You can specify multiple
values separated by commas and no intervening blanks. If you specify multiple
values, the schedule runs on each of the specified days of the month. If
multiple values resolve to the same day, the schedule runs only once that day.
The default value is ANY. ANY means that the schedule runs on every day of
the month or on the days determined by other enhanced schedule parameters.
DAYOFMONTH must have a value of ANY (either by default or specified with
the command) when used with the DAYOFWEEK or WEEKOFMONTH
parameters.
WEEKofmonth
Specifies the week of the month in which to run the schedule. This parameter
is used only with enhanced schedules. A week is considered any seven-day
period which does not start on a particular day of the week. You can specify
FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH, LAST, or ANY. You can specify multiple
values, the schedule runs during each of the specified weeks of the month. If
multiple values resolve to the same week, the schedule runs only once during
that week.
The default value is ANY. ANY means that the schedule runs during every
week of the month or on the day or days determined by other enhanced
schedule parameters. WEEKOFMONTH must have a value of ANY (either by
default or specified with the command) when used with the DAYOFMONTH
parameter.
EXPiration
Specifies the date after which this schedule is no longer used. This parameter
is optional. The default is NEVER. Possible values are:
Never
Specifies that the schedule never expires.
expiration_date
Specifies the date on which this schedule expires, in MM/DD/YYYY
format. If you specify an expiration date, the schedule expires at 23:59:59
on the date you specify.
Example: Define a schedule for a monthly incremental backup
Define a schedule named MONTHLY_BACKUP that initiates an incremental

backup of all associated nodes. Specify the start date as Tuesday, May 1, 2001. This
date does not match the specified day of the week (Sunday), so the initial startup
window begins on the first Sunday after May 1, 2001 (05/01/2001). The startup
windows for this schedule extend from 01:00 through 03:00. This monthly schedule
initiates backup of c: and d: file spaces for all associated nodes.

define schedule standard monthly_backup
description="Monthly Backup of c: and d: drives"
objects="c:\* d:\*"
startdate=05/01/2001 starttime=01:00
duration=2 durunits=hours period=1
perunits=months dayofweek=sunday
Example: Define a schedule for a weekly incremental backup
Define a schedule named WEEKLY_BACKUP that initiates an incremental backup

of all associated nodes. The initial startup window for this schedule extends from
23:00 on Saturday, June 7, 1997 (06/07/1997), to 03:00 on Sunday, June 8, 1997
(06/08/1997). Subsequent windows begin at 23:00, every Saturday. No messages
are returned to the client node when this schedule is run.
define schedule employee_records weekly_backup
startdate=06/07/1997 starttime=23:00 duration=4
durunits=hours perunits=weeks
dayofweek=saturday options=-quiet
Example: Define a schedule that archives a specific directory every

quarter
Define a schedule that archives specific files quarterly on the last Friday of the
month.
define schedule employee_records quarterly_archive
starttime=20:00 action=archive
object=/home/employee/records/*
duration=1 durunits=hour schedstyle=enhanced
month=mar,jun,sep,dec weekofmonth=last dayofweek=fri
DEFINE SCHEDULE (Define a schedule for an administrative
command)
Use the DEFINE SCHEDULE command to create a new schedule for processing an
administrative command.
You can include scripts in an administrative command schedule so the commands

are processed automatically.
Note:
1. You cannot schedule the MACRO command or the QUERY ACTLOG command.
2. If you are scheduling a command that specifies the WAIT parameter, the
parameter must be set to YES in order for the process to provide a return code
to the session that started it. For more information about the WAIT parameter,
see “Server command processing” on page 16.
Privilege class
To define an administrative command schedule, you must have system privilege.

maximum length of the command is 512 characters. Enclose the administrative
command in quotation marks if it contains any blank characters.
Restriction: You cannot specify redirection characters with this parameter.

ACTIVE
Specifies whether Tivoli Storage Manager processes an administrative
command schedule when the startup window occurs. This parameter is
optional. The default is NO. The administrative command schedule must be set

to the active state with the UPDATE SCHEDULE command so that Tivoli
Storage Manager can process the schedule. Possible values are:
YES
Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager processes an administrative
command schedule when the startup window begins.

| MAXRUNtime
| which server processes that are started by the scheduled commands must be
| completed. If processes are still running after the maximum run time, the
| central scheduler cancels the processes.
| Tips:
| v The processes might not end immediately when the central scheduler cancels
| them; they end when they register the cancellation notification from the
| central scheduler.
| v The maximum run time is calculated beginning from when the server
| process starts. If the schedule command starts more than one process, each
| process maximum run time is calculated from when the process starts.
| v This parameter does not apply to some processes, such as
| duplicate-identification processes, which can continue to run after the
| maximum run time.
| v This parameter does not apply if the scheduled command does not start a
| server process.
| v Another cancel time might be associated with some commands. For
| example, the MIGRATE STGPOOL command can include a parameter that
| specifies the length of time that the storage pool migration runs before the
| migration is automatically canceled. If you schedule a command for which a
| cancel time is defined, and you also define a maximum run time for the
| schedule, the processes are canceled at whichever cancel time is reached
| first.
| Restrictions:
| The parameter is optional. You can specify a number in the range 0-1440. The
| default value is 0. A value of 0 means that the maximum run time is indefinite,
| and the central scheduler does not cancel processes. The maximum run time
| must be greater than the startup window duration, which is defined by the
| DURATION and DURUNITS parameters.
| For example, if the start time of a scheduled command is 9:00 PM, and the
| 11:00 PM. If the maximum run time is 240 minutes, that is, 4 hours, all
| applicable server processes that are started by the command must be
| completed by 1:00 AM. If one or more applicable processes are still running
| after 1:00 AM, the central scheduler cancels the processes.
| Tip: Alternatively, you can specify an end time of 1:00 AM in the Tivoli Storage
| Manager Operations Center.
SCHEDStyle

DEFINE SCRIPT (Define a Tivoli Storage Manager script)
Use this command to define a Tivoli Storage Manager script or to create a new
Tivoli Storage Manager script using the contents from another script.
The first line for the script may be defined with this command. To add subsequent
lines to the script, use the UPDATE SCRIPT command.
Tips:
v When routing commands inside scripts, enclose the server or server group in
parentheses and omit the colon. Otherwise, if the syntax includes a colon, the
command is not routed when the RUN command is issued. Instead, the command
will only run on the server from which the RUN command is issued.
v You cannot redirect the output of a command within a Tivoli Storage Manager
script. Instead, run the script and then specify command redirection. For
example, to direct the output of script1 to the c:\temp\test.out directory, run
the script and specify command redirection as in the following example:
run script1 > c:\temp\test.out
Privilege class
To issue this command, you must have operator, policy, storage, or system
privilege.
Syntax
Line = 001
DEFine SCRipt script_name command_line
Line = number
File = file_name

Parameters
script_name (Required)
Specifies the name of the script to be defined. You can specify up to 30
command_line
Specifies the first command to be processed in a script. You must specify either
this parameter (and, optionally, the LINE parameter) or the FILE parameter.
The command you specify can include substitution variables and can be
continued across multiple lines if you specify a continuation character (-) as the
last character in the command. Substitution variables are specified with a '$'
character, followed by a number that indicates the value of the parameter
when the script is processed. You can specify up to 1200 characters for the
command line. Enclose the command in quotation marks if it contains blanks.
You can run commands serially, in parallel, or serially and in parallel by
specifying the SERIAL or PARALLEL script commands for the COMMAND_LINE
parameter. You can run multiple commands in parallel and wait for them to
complete before proceeding to the next command. Commands will run serially
until the parallel command is encountered.

Conditional logic flow statements can be used. These statements include IF,
EXIT, and GOTO.
Line
Specifies the line number for the command line. Because commands are
specified in multiple lines, line numbers are used to determine the order
for processing when the script is run. The first line, or line 001 is the
default. This parameter is optional.
File
Specifies the name of the file whose contents will be read into the script to be
defined. The file must reside on the server running this command. If you
specify the FILE parameter, you cannot specify a command line or line
number.
You can create a script by querying another script and specifying the
FORMAT=RAW and OUTPUTFILE parameters. The output from querying the
script is directed to a file you specify with the OUTPUTFILE parameter. To
create the new script, the contents of the script to be defined are read in from
the file you specified with the OUTPUTFILE parameter.
DESCription
Specifies a description for the script. You can specify up to 255 characters for
the description. Enclose the description in quotation marks if it contains blank
characters. This parameter is optional.
Example: Write a script to display AIX clients
Define a script that will display all AIX clients.

define script qaixc "select node_name from nodes where platform_name=’AIX’"
desc=’Display aix clients’
Example: Write and run a script to route a command to a server

group
Define and run a script that will route the QUERY STGPOOL command to a server
group named DEV_GROUP.
define script qu_stg "(dev_group) query stgpool"
run qu_stg
Example: Create a script from an existing script
Define a script whose command lines are read in from a file that is named
MY.SCRIPT and name the new script AGADM.
define script agadm file=my.script

Use this command to define a server to use functions such as virtual volumes,
node replication, command routing, and LAN-free data movement, among others.
Use this command to define a server for the following functions:

v Enterprise configuration
v Enterprise event logging
v Command routing
v Virtual volumes
v LAN-free data movement
v Node replication
v Status monitoring of remote servers
v Alert monitoring of remote servers
| v Server-to-server export
If you use an LDAP directory server to authenticate passwords, any target servers
must be configured for LDAP-authenticated passwords. Data that is replicated
from a node that authenticates with an LDAP directory server is inaccessible if the
target replication server is not properly configured. If your target replication server
is not configured, replicated data from an LDAP node can make it to the target
server. But the target replication server must be configured to use LDAP if you
want to access the data.
The use of virtual volumes is not supported when the source server and the target
server are on the same Tivoli Storage Manager server.
This command also is used to define a Tivoli Storage Manager storage agent as if it
were a server.

Parameters
Specifies the name of the server. This name must be unique on the server. The
maximum length of this name is 64 characters.
For server-to-server event logging, library sharing, and node replication, you
must specify a server name that matches the name that was set by issuing the
SET SERVERNAME command at the target server.
| PAssword
| Specifies the password that is used to sign on to the target server for virtual
| volumes. If you specify the NODENAME parameter, you must specify the
| PASSWORD parameter. If you specify the PASSWORD parameter but not the
| NODENAME parameter, the node name defaults to the server name specified
| with the SET SERVERNAME command.
| SERVERPAssword
| Specifies the password of the server you are defining. This password must
| match the password that is set by the SET SERVERPASSWORD command. This
| parameter is required for enterprise configuration and server-to-server event
| logging functions.
HLAddress (Required)
Specifies the IP address (in dotted decimal format) of the server.
Do not use the loopback address as the value of this parameter. Virtual
volumes are not supported when the source server and the target server are
the same Tivoli Storage Manager server.
LLAddress (Required)
Specifies the low-level address of the server. This address is usually the same
as the address in the TCPPORT server option of the target server. When
SSL=YES, the port must already be designated for SSL communications on the
target server.
COMMmethod
Specifies the communication method that is used to connect to the server. This
URL
Specifies the URL address of this server. The parameter is optional.
DELgraceperiod
Specifies a number of days that an object remains on the target server after it
was marked for deletion. You can specify a value 0 - 9999. The default is 5.
NODEName
Specifies a node name to be used by the server to connect to the target server.
This parameter is optional. If you specify the NODENAME parameter, you
must also specify the PASSWORD parameter. If you specify the PASSWORD
parameter but not the NODENAME parameter, the node name defaults to the
server name specified with the SET SERVERNAME command.
DESCription
Specifies a description of the server. The parameter is optional. The description
can be up to 255 characters. Enclose the description in quotation marks if it
contains blank characters.
CROSSDEFine
Specifies whether the server that is running this command defines itself to the
server that is being specified by this command. This parameter is optional.
Important: This parameter does not apply to storage agent definitions.

If this parameter is included, you must also issue the SET SERVERNAME, SET
SERVERPASSWORD, SET SERVERHLADDRESS, SET CROSSDEFINE, and SET
SERVERLLADDRESS commands. The default is NO.
Remember:
v For replication operations, the names of the source and target replication
servers must match the names that you specify in this command.
v CROSSDEFINE can be used with SSL=YES if all of the conditions that are
specified for the SSL=YES parameter are in place on the source and target
server.
You can specify one of the following values:
No Cross definition is not completed.
Yes
Cross definition is completed.
VALIdateprotocol
Specify a cyclic redundancy check to validate the data that is sent between the
storage agent and Tivoli Storage Manager server. The parameter is optional.
The default is NO. You can specify one of the following values:
No Specifies that data validation is not completed on any data that is sent
between the storage agent and server.
All
Specifies that data validation is completed on all client file data, client file
metadata, and Tivoli Storage Manager server metadata that is sent between
the storage agent and server. This mode affects performance as more
resources are required to calculate and compare CRC values between the
storage agent and the server.
SSL
Specifies the communication mode of the server. The default is NO. You can
specify one of the following values:
No Specifies that unencrypted communication with the specified server occurs
over a TCP/IP session without SSL.
Yes
Specifies an SSL session for communication with the specified server. The
following conditions apply if you specify YES:
v Before you start the servers, self-signed certificates of the partner servers
must be in the key database file (cert.kdb) of each of the servers.
v You can define multiple server names with different parameters for the
same target server.

v SSL support is active if the server options file contains the SSLTCPPORT or
SSLTCPADMINPORT option or if a server is defined with SSL=YES at startup.
v Storage agents can issue the DSMSTA SETSTORAGESERVER command and
include the STAKEKEYDBPW and SSL parameters to create the key database.
v If third-party certificates are used, the CA (certificate authority)
certificate must be kept in the key database of the partner server. If you
upgrade from a release earlier than V6.3.0 and have a key database file
in your instance directory, update it to allow third-party certificates. To
update the key database file, issue the following command:
gsk8capicmd_64 -keydb -convert -populate
-db cert.kdb -pw passwordofkeydatabasefile
Example: Set up two servers to use SSL to communicate
You must set up two servers to use SSL to communicate. The server addresses are
as follows:
v ServerA is at bfa.tucson.ibm.com
v ServerB is at bfb.tucson.ibm.com
Complete the following steps to set up the two servers for SSL:
1. Specify options SSLTCPPORT 1542 and TCPPORT 1500 for both servers in the
dsmserv.opt option file.
2. Start both servers and run the following command to set up the key database
file password:
SET SSLKEYRINGPW newpw UPDATE=Y
3. Shut down both servers to import the cert256 partner certificate. For ServerA,
the certificate is in the /tsma instance directory. For ServerB, the certificate is in
the /tsmb instance directory.
4. Start both servers. The /tsma/cert256.arm file is copied to
/tsmb/cert256.bfa.arm on the bfb.tucson.ibm.com address. The
/tsmb/cert256.arm file is copied to /tsmb/cert256.bfb.arm on the
bfa.tucson.ibm.com address.
5. Issue the following command:
v From ServerA:
gsk8capicmd_64 -cert -add -db cert.kdb -pw newpw -format ascii
-label "bfb" -file /tsma/cert256.bfb.arm
v From ServerB:
gsk8capicmd_64 -cert -add -db cert.kdb -pw newpw -format ascii
-label "bfa" -file /tsmb/cert256.bfa.arm
From each server, you can view the certificates in the key database by issuing
the following command:
gsk8capicmd_64 -cert -list -db cert.kdb -pw newpw
6. Restart the servers.
7. Issue the appropriate DEFINE SERVER command. For ServerA, issue the
following example command:
DEFINE SERVER BFB hla=bfb.tucson.ibm.com lla=1542
serverpa=passwordforbfb SSL=YES
For ServerB, issue the following example command:

DEFINE SERVER BFA hla=bfa.tucson.ibm.com lla=1542
serverpa=passwordforbfa SSL=YES
If you do not use SSL, issue the following example DEFINE SERVER command on
ServerA:
DEFINE SERVER BFBTCP hla=bfb.tucson.ibm.com lla=1500
serverpa=passwordforbfb SSL=NO
If you do not use SSL, issue the following example DEFINE SERVER command on
ServerB:
DEFINE SERVER BFATCP hla=bfa.tucson.ibm.com lla=1500
serverpa=passwordforbfa SSL=NO
Example: Define a target server
A target server has a high-level address of 9.116.2.67 and a low-level address of

1570. Define that target server to the source server, name it SERVER2, and set the
password to SECRET. Specify that objects remain on the target server for seven
days after they are marked for deletion.
define server server2 password=secret
hladdress=9.115.3.45 lladdress=1570 delgraceperiod=7
| Example: Define a server to receive commands from other

| define server west_complex
| hladdress=9.172.12.35 lladdress=1500
| url=http://west_complex:1580/
Example: Cross-define two servers
Use cross definition to define SERVER_A and SERVER_B.

1. On SERVER_B, specify the server name, password, and high- and low-level
addresses of SERVER_B. Specify that cross defining is allowed.
set servername server_b
set serverpassword mylife
set serverhladdress 9.115.20.80
set serverlladdress 1860
set crossdefine on
2. On SERVER_A, specify the server name, password, and high- and low-level
addresses of SERVER_A.
set servername server_a
set serverpassword yourlife
3. On SERVER_A, define SERVER_B:
define server server_b hladdress=9.115.20.80 lladdress=1860
serverpassword=mylife crossdefine=yes

DEFINE SPACETRIGGER (Define the space trigger)
Use this command to define settings for triggers that determine when and how the
server prepares extra space when predetermined thresholds are exceeded in
storage pools that use FILE and DISK device classes. Space triggers are not enabled
for storage pools with a parameter RECLAMATIONTYPE=SNAPLOCK.
Tivoli Storage Manager allocates more space when space utilization reaches a
specified value. After allocating more space, Tivoli Storage Manager either adds the
space to the specified pool (random-access or sequential-access disk).
Important: Space trigger functions and storage pool space calculations take into
account the space remaining in each directory. An inaccurate calculation can result
in a failure to expand the space available in a storage pool. Failure to expand space
in a storage pool is one of the conditions that can cause a trigger to become
disabled.
For example, if you specify multiple directories for a device class and the
directories reside in the same file system, the server calculates space by adding
values representing the space remaining in each directory. These space calculations
are inaccurate. Rather than choosing a storage pool with sufficient space for an
operation, the server might choose the directory that is specified for the device
class and run out of space prematurely.
To prevent possible problems and ensure an accurate calculation, you associate

each directory with a separate file system. If a trigger becomes disabled because
the space in a storage pool could not be expanded, you can re-enable the trigger
by specifying the following command: update spacetrigger stg. No further
changes are required to the space trigger.
Privilege class

Syntax
Fullpct = 80
DEFine SPACETrigger STG
Fullpct = percent
SPACEexpansion = 20

SPACEexpansion = percent EXPansionprefix = prefix

STGPOOL = storage_pool_name
Parameters
STG
Specifies a storage pool space trigger.
Fullpct
This parameter specifies the utilization percentage of the storage pool. This
parameter is optional. Specify an integer value 0 - 99. The default is 80. A
value of zero (0) disables the space trigger. When this value is exceeded, the
space trigger creates new volumes. Exceeding the threshold might not cause
new volumes to be created until the next space request is made.
You can determine storage pool utilization by issuing the QUERY STGPOOL
command with FORMAT=DETAILED. The percentage of storage pool utilization is
displayed in the field "Space Trigger Util." The calculation for this percentage
does not include potential scratch volumes. The calculation for the percentage
utilization that is used for migration and reclamation, however, does include
potential scratch volumes.
SPACEexpansion
For sequential-access FILE-type storage pools, this parameter is used in
determining the number of additional volumes that are created in the storage
pool. This parameter is optional. The default is 20. Volumes are created using
the MAXCAPACITY value from the storage pool's device class. For random-access
DISK storage pools, the space trigger creates a single volume using the
EXPANSIONPREFIX.
EXPansionprefix
For random-access DISK storage-pools, this parameter specifies the prefix that
the server uses to create new storage pool files. This parameter is optional and
applies only to random-access DISK device classes. The default prefix is the
server installation path.
The prefix can include one or more directory separator characters, for example:
/opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/
You can specify up to 250 characters. If you specify an invalid prefix, automatic
expansion can fail.
This parameter is not valid for space triggers for sequential-access FILE storage
pools. Prefixes are obtained from the directories that are specified with the
associated device class.
STGPOOL
Specifies the storage pool that is associated with this space trigger. This
parameter is optional for storage pool space triggers. If you specify the STG
parameter but not the STGPOOL parameter, one space trigger is created that
applies to all random-access DISK and sequential-access FILE storage pools
that do not have a specific space trigger.
This parameter does not apply to storage pools with the parameter
RECLAMATIONTYPE=SNAPLOCK.
Example: Define a space trigger to increase storage pool space

25 percent
Set up a storage pool space trigger for increasing the amount of space in a storage
pool by 25 percent when it is filled to 80 percent utilization of existing volumes.
Space is created in the directories associated with the device class.
define spacetrigger stg spaceexpansion=25 stgpool=file
Example: Define a space trigger to increase storage pool space

40 percent
Set up a space trigger for the WINPOOL1 storage pool to increase the amount of
space in the storage pool by 40 percent when it is filled to 80 percent utilization of
existing volumes.

DEFINE STATUSTHRESHOLD (Define a status monitoring
threshold)
Use this command to define a new status monitoring threshold.
Status monitoring thresholds compare the defined conditions to the status

monitoring server queries and inserts the results in the status monitoring table.
Multiple thresholds can be defined for an activity. For example, you can create a
threshold that provides a warning status if storage pool capacity utilization is
greater than 80%. You can then create another threshold that provides error status
if storage pool capacity utilization is greater than 90%.
Note: If a threshold is already defined for an EXISTS condition, you cannot define
another threshold with one of the other condition types.

DEFINE STGPOOL (Define a storage pool)
Use this command to define a primary storage pool, copy storage pool, or an
active-data pool.
A primary storage pool provides a destination for backup files, archive files, or
files that are migrated from client nodes. A copy storage pool provides a
destination for copies of files that are in primary storage pools. An active-data pool
provides a destination for active versions of backup data that are in primary
storage pools. The maximum number of storage pools that you can define for a
server is 999.
All volumes in a storage pool belong to the same device class. Random access
storage pools use the DISK device type. After you define a random access storage
pool, you must define volumes for the pool to create storage space.
Tip: Raw partitions generally provide the best performance, however an IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager server running Solaris 10 does not support ZFS raw
partitions.
Sequential access storage pools use device classes that you define for tape devices,
files on disk (FILE device type), and storage on another server (SERVER device
type). To create storage space in a sequential access storage pool, you must allow
scratch volumes for the pool when you define or update it, or define volumes for
the pool after you define the pool. You can also do both.
Restriction: If a client is using the simultaneous-write function and data

deduplication, the data deduplication feature is disabled during backups to a
storage pool.

A pool is specified as the The server stores the file in
next storage pool in the the next storage pool that
hierarchy can accept the file size
If you specify the next storage pool parameter, define one storage pool in your
hierarchy to have no limit on the maximum file size. By having no limit on the
size for at least one pool, you ensure that no matter what its size, the server
can store the file.
For logical files that are part of an aggregate, the server considers the size of
the aggregate to be the file size. Therefore, the server does not store logical

files that are smaller than the maximum size limit if the files are part of an
aggregate that is larger than the maximum size limit.
CRCData
Specifies whether a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) validates storage pool data
when audit volume processing occurs on the server. This parameter is optional.
The default value is NO. By setting CRCDATA to YES and scheduling an AUDIT
VOLUME command you can continually ensure the integrity of data that is stored
in your storage hierarchy. Possible values are:
Yes
Specifies that data is stored containing CRC information, allowing for audit
volume processing to validate storage pool data. This mode impacts
performance because more expenditure is required to calculate and
compare CRC values between the storage pool and the server.
No Specifies that data is stored without CRC information.
NEXTstgpool
Specifies a primary storage pool to which files are migrated. This parameter is
optional.
If you do not specify a next storage pool, the following actions occur:
v The server cannot migrate files from this storage pool
v The server cannot store files that exceed the maximum size for this storage
pool in another storage pool
You cannot create a chain of storage pools that leads to an endless loop
through the NEXTSTGPOOL parameter. At least one storage pool in the
hierarchy must have no value that is specified for NEXTSTGPOOL.
If you specify a sequential access pool as the NEXTSTGPOOL, the pool can be
“NATIVE” or “NONBLOCK” data format only.
HIghmig
Specifies that the server starts migration for this storage pool when the amount
of data in the pool reaches this percentage of the pool's estimated capacity.
When the storage pool exceeds the high migration threshold, the server can
start migration of files by node, to the next storage pool. The NEXTSTGPOOL
parameter defines this setting. You can specify HIGHMIG=100 to prevent
migration for this storage pool.
LOwmig
Specifies that the server stops migration for this storage pool when the amount
This parameter is optional. You can specify an integer 0 to 99. The default
value is 70.
When migration is by node or file space, depending upon collocation, the level
of the storage pool can fall below the value that you specified for this
parameter. To empty the storage pool, set LOWMIG=0.
CAChe
Specifies whether the migration process leaves a cached copy of a file in this
storage pool after you migrate the file to the next storage pool. This parameter
is optional. The default value is NO. Possible values are:
Yes
Specifies that caching is enabled.
No Specifies that caching is disabled.
Using cache might improve the ability to retrieve files, but might affect the
performance of other processes. See the Administrator's Guide for details.
MIGPRocess
Specifies the number of processes that the server uses for migrating files from
this storage pool. This parameter is optional. You can specify an integer from 1
to 999. The default value is 1.
During migration, these processes are run in parallel to provide the potential
for improved migration rates.
Tips:
v The number of migration processes is dependent upon the following
settings:
– The MIGPROCESS parameter
– The collocation setting of the next pool
– The number of nodes or the number of collocation groups with data in
the storage pool that is being migrated
For example, suppose that MIGPROCESS =6, the next pool COLLOCATE
parameter is set to NODE, but there are only two nodes with data on the
storage pool. Migration processing consists of only two processes, not six. If
the COLLOCATE parameter is set to GROUP and both nodes are in the same
group, migration processing consists of only one process. If the COLLOCATE
parameter is set to NO or FILESPACE, and each node has two file spaces with
backup data, then migration processing consists of four processes.
v When you specify this parameter, consider whether the simultaneous-write
function is enabled for server data migration. Each migration process
requires a mount point and a drive for each copy storage pool and
active-data pool that is defined to the target storage pool.
MIGDelay
Specifies the minimum number of days a file must remain in a storage pool
before it becomes eligible for migration. To calculate a value to compare to the
specified MIGDELAY value, the server counts the following items:
v The number of days that the file was in the storage pool
v The number of days, if any, since the file was retrieved by a client
The lesser of the two values are compared to the specified MIGDELAY value. For
example, if all the following conditions are true, a file is not migrated:
v A file was in a storage pool for five days.
v The file was accessed by a client within the past three days.
v The value that is specified for the MIGDELAY parameter is four days.
default is 0, which means that you do not want to delay migration.
If you want the server to count the number of days that are based on when a
file was stored and not when it was retrieved, use the NORETRIEVEDATE server
option.
MIGContinue
Specifies whether you allow the server to migrate files that do not satisfy the
migration delay time. This parameter is optional. The default is YES.

Because you can require that files remain in the storage pool for a minimum
number of days, the server may migrate all eligible files to the next storage
pool yet not meet the low migration threshold. This parameter allows you to
specify whether the server is allowed to continue the migration process by
migrating files that do not satisfy the migration delay time.
Yes
Specifies that, when necessary to meet the low migration threshold, the
server continues to migrate files that do not satisfy the migration delay
time.
If you allow more than one migration process for the storage pool, some
files that do not satisfy the migration delay time may be migrated
unnecessarily. As one process migrates files that satisfy the migration delay
time, a second process could begin migrating files that do not satisfy the
migration delay time to meet the low migration threshold. The first process
that is still migrating files that satisfy the migration delay time might have,
by itself, caused the low migration threshold to be met.
No Specifies that the server stops migration when no eligible files remain to be
migrated, even before reaching the low migration threshold. The server
does not migrate files unless the files satisfy the migration delay time.
AUTOCopy
Specifies when Tivoli Storage Manager runs simultaneous-write operations.
The default value is CLIENT. This parameter is optional and affects the
following operations:
v Client store sessions
v Server import processes
v Server data-migration processes
If an error occurs while data is being simultaneously written to a copy storage
pool or active-data pool during a migration process, the server stops writing to
the failing storage pools for the remainder of the process. However, the server
continues to store files into the primary storage pool and any remaining copy
storage pools or active-data pools. These pools remain active for the duration
of the migration process. Copy storage pools are specified using the
COPYSTGPOOLS parameter. Active-data pools are specified using the
ACTIVEDATAPOOLS parameter.
None
Specifies that the simultaneous-write function is disabled.
CLient
Specifies that data is written simultaneously to copy storage pools and
active-data pools during client store sessions or server import processes.
During server import processes, data is written simultaneously to only
copy storage pools. Data is not written to active-data pools during server
import processes.
MIGRation
active-data pools only during migration to this storage pool. During server
data-migration processes, data is written simultaneously to copy storage
pools and active-data pools only if the data does not exist in those pools.
Nodes whose data is being migrated must be in a domain associated with
an active-data pool. If the nodes are not in a domain associated with an
active pool, the data cannot be written to the pool.
All
active-data pools during client store sessions, server import processes, or
server data-migration processes. Specifying this value ensures that data is
written simultaneously whenever this pool is a target for any of the
eligible operations.
COPYSTGpools
Specifies the names of copy storage pools where the server simultaneously
writes data. The COPYSTGPOOLS parameter is optional. You can specify a
maximum of three copy pool names that are separated by commas. Spaces
between the names of the copy pools are not allowed. When you specify a
value for the COPYSTGPOOLS parameter, you can also specify a value for the
COPYCONTINUE parameter.
The combined total number of storage pools that are specified in the
COPYSGTPOOLS and ACTIVEDATAPOOLS parameters cannot exceed three.
When a data storage operation switches from a primary storage pool to a next
storage pool, the next storage pool inherits the list of copy storage pools and
the COPYCONTINUE value from the primary storage pool. The primary storage
pool is specified by the copy group of the management class that is bound to
the data. For details, refer to information about the simultaneous-write
function in the Administrator's Guide.
The server can write data simultaneously to copy storage pools during the
v Back up and archive operations by Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive
clients or application clients that are using the Tivoli Storage Manager API
v Migration operations by Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management
clients
v Import operations that involve copying exported file data from external
media to a primary storage pool associated with a copy storage pool list
Restriction: The simultaneous-write function is not supported for the

following store operations:
v When the operation is using LAN-free data movement. Simultaneous-write
operations take precedence over LAN-free data movement, causing the
operations to go over the LAN. However, the simultaneous-write
configuration is followed.
v NAS backup operations. If the primary storage pool specified in the
DESTINATION or TOCDESTINATION in the copy group of the management class
has copy storage pools that are defined:
– The copy storage pools are ignored
– The data is stored into the primary storage pool only
Attention: The function that is provided by the COPYSTGPOOLS parameter is

not intended to replace the BACKUP STGPOOL command. If you use the
COPYSTGPOOLS parameter, continue to use the BACKUP STGPOOL command to
ensure that the copy storage pools are complete copies of the primary storage
pool. There are cases when a copy might not be created. For more information,
see the COPYCONTINUE parameter description.

COPYContinue
Specifies how the server usually reacts to a copy storage pool write failure for
any of the copy storage pools that are listed in the COPYSTGPOOLS parameter.
This parameter is optional. The default value is YES. When you specify the
COPYCONTINUE parameter, you must also specify the COPYSTGPOOLS parameter.
Yes
If the COPYCONTINUE parameter is set to YES, the server will stop writing to
the failing copy pools for the remainder of the session, but continue storing
files into the primary pool and any remaining copy pools. The copy
storage pool list is active only for the life of the client session and applies
to all the primary storage pools in a particular storage pool hierarchy.
For additional information about the COPYCONTINUE parameter, refer to the
information about the simultaneous-write function in the Administrator's
Guide.
No If the COPYCONTINUE parameter is set to NO, the server will fail the current
transaction and discontinue the store operation.
Restrictions:
v The setting of the COPYCONTINUE parameter does not affect active-data pools.
If a write failure occurs for any of the active-data pools, the server stops
writing to the failing active-data pool for the remainder of the session, but
continues storing files into the primary pool and any remaining active-data
pools and copy storage pools. The active-data pool list is active only for the
life of the session and applies to all the primary storage pools in a particular
storage pool hierarchy.
v The setting of the COPYCONTINUE parameter does not affect the
simultaneous-write function during server import. If data is being written
simultaneously and a write failure occurs to the primary storage pool or any
copy storage pool, the server import process fails.
simultaneous-write function during server data migration. If data is being
written simultaneously and a write failure occurs to any copy storage pool
or active-data pool, the failing storage pool is removed and the data
migration process continues. Write failures to the primary storage pool cause
the migration process to fail.
ACTIVEDATApools
Specifies the names of active-data pools where the server simultaneously
writes data during a client backup operation. The ACTIVEDATAPOOLS parameter
is optional. Spaces between the names of the active-data pools are not allowed.
storage pool, the next storage pool inherits the list of active-data pools from
the destination storage pool that is specified in the copy group. The primary
storage pool is specified by the copy group of the management class that is
bound to the data. For details, refer to information about the
simultaneous-write function in the Administrator's Guide.
The server can write data simultaneously to active-data pools only during
backup operations by Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive clients or
application clients that use the Tivoli Storage Manager API.
Restrictions:
1. This parameter is available only to primary storage pools that use
“NATIVE” or “NONBLOCK” data format. This parameter is not available
for storage pools that use the following data formats:
v NETAPPDUMP
v CELERRADUMP
v NDMPDUMP
2. Writing data simultaneously to active-data pools is not supported when
you use LAN-free data movement. Simultaneous-write operations take
precedence over LAN-free data movement, causing the operations to go
over the LAN. However, the simultaneous-write configuration is followed.
3. The simultaneous-write function is not supported when a NAS backup
operation is writing a TOC file. If the primary storage pool specified in the
TOCDESTINATION in the copy group of the management class has active-data
pools that are defined:
v The active-data pools are ignored
v The data is stored into the primary storage pool only
4. You cannot use the simultaneous-write function with Centera storage
devices.
5. Data that is being imported is not stored in active-data pools. After an
import operation, use the COPY ACTIVEDATA command to store the imported
data in an active-data pool.
Attention: The function that is provided by the ACTIVEDATAPOOLS parameter is

not intended to replace the COPY ACTIVEDATA command. If you use the
ACTIVEDATAPOOLS parameter, use the COPY ACTIVEDATA command to ensure that
the active-data pools contain all active data of the primary storage pool.
SHRED
Specifies whether data is physically overwritten when it is deleted. This
parameter is optional. You can specify an integer from 0 to 10. The default
value is 0.
If you specify a value of zero, the Tivoli Storage Manager server deletes the
data from the database. However, the storage that is used to contain the data is
not overwritten, and the data exists in storage until that storage is reused for
other data. It might be possible to discover and reconstruct the data after it is
deleted.
If you specify a value greater than zero, the Tivoli Storage Manager server
deletes the data both logically and physically. The server overwrites the storage
that is used to contain the data the specified number of times. This overwriting
increases the difficulty of discovering and reconstructing the data after it is
deleted.
To ensure that all copies of the data are shredded, specify a SHRED value
greater than zero for the storage pool that is specified in the NEXTSTGPOOL
parameter. Do not specify either the COPYSTGPOOLS or ACTIVEDATAPOOLS.
Specifying relatively high values for the overwrite count generally improves
the level of security, but might affect performance adversely.
Overwriting of deleted data is done asynchronously after the delete operation
is complete. Therefore, the space that is occupied by the deleted data remains
occupied for some time. The space is not available as free space for new data.

A SHRED value greater than zero cannot be used if the value of the CACHE
parameter is YES.
Important: After an export operation finishes and identifies files for export,
any change to the storage pool SHRED value is ignored. An export operation
that is suspended retains the original SHRED value throughout the operation.
You might want to consider canceling your export operation if changes to the
storage pool SHRED value jeopardize the operation. You can reissue the export
command after any needed cleanup.
Example: Define a primary storage pool for a DISK device class
Define a primary storage pool, POOL1, to use the DISK device class, with caching
enabled. Limit the maximum file size to 5 MB. Store any files larger than 5 MB in
subordinate storage pools that begin with the PROG2 storage pool. Set the high
migration threshold to 70 percent, and the low migration threshold to 30 percent.

2 This parameter is not available or is ignored for CENTERA storage pools.
3 The RECLAMATIONTYPE=SNAPLOCK setting is valid only for storage
pools that are defined to servers that are enabled for System Storage Archive
Manager. The storage pool must be assigned to a FILE device class, and the
directories that are specified in the device class must be NetApp SnapLock
volumes.

Parameters
Specifies the name of the device class to which this storage pool is assigned.
You can specify any device class except for the DISK device class.

Specifies that you want to define a primary storage pool. This parameter is
optional. The default value is PRIMARY.

MAXSIze
storage pool. This parameter is optional. The default value is NOLIMIT.
NOLimit
Specifies that there is no maximum size limit for physical files stored in the
storage pool.
maximum_file_size
maximum file size for this storage pool is 5 gigabytes. Scale factors are:

K kilobyte
M megabyte
G gigabyte
T terabyte
If a file exceeds the maximum size and no pool is specified as the next storage
pool in the hierarchy, the server does not store the file. If a file exceeds the
maximum size and a pool is specified as the next storage pool, the server
stores the file in the next storage pool that can accept the file size. If you
specify the next storage pool parameter, at least one storage pool in your
hierarchy should have no limit on the maximum size of a file. By having no
limit on the size for at least one pool, you ensure that no matter what its size,
the server can store the file.

Tip: For storage pools that are associated with the 3592, LTO, or
ECARTRIDGE device type, logical block protection provides better protection
against data corruption than CRC validation for a storage pool. If you specify
CRC validation for a storage pool, data is validated only during volume
auditing operations. Errors are identified after data is written to tape.
To enable logical block protection, specify a value of READWRITE for the

LBPROTECT parameter on the DEFINE DEVCLASS and UPDATE DEVCLASS commands
for the 3592, LTO, or ECARTRIDGE device types. Logical block protection is
supported only on the following types of drives and media:
v IBM LTO5 and later.
v IBM 3592 Generation 3 drives and later with 3592 Generation 2 media and
later.
v Oracle StorageTek T10000C and T10000D drives.
NEXTstgpool
Specifies a primary storage pool to which files are migrated. You cannot
migrate data from a sequential access storage pool to a random access storage
pool. This parameter is optional.
If this storage pool does not have a next storage pool, the server cannot
migrate files from this storage pool and cannot store files that exceed the
maximum size for this storage pool in another storage pool.
When there is insufficient space available in the current storage pool, the
NEXTSTGPOOL parameter for sequential access storage pools does not allow data
to be stored into the next pool. In this case, the server issues a message and the
transaction fails.
For next storage pools with a device type of FILE, the server completes a
preliminary check to determine whether sufficient space is available. If space is
not available, the server skips to the next storage pool in the hierarchy. If space
is available, the server attempts to store data in that pool. However, it is
possible that the storage operation might fail because, at the time the actual
storage operation is attempted, the space is no longer available.

HIghmig
Specifies that the server starts migration when storage pool utilization reaches
this percentage. For sequential-access disk (FILE) storage pools, utilization is
the ratio of data in a storage pool to the pool's total estimated data capacity,
including the capacity of all scratch volumes specified for the pool. For storage
pools that use tape media, utilization is the ratio of volumes that contain data
to the total number of volumes in the storage pool. The total number of
volumes includes the maximum number of scratch volumes. This parameter is
optional. You can specify an integer 0 - 100. The default value is 90.

You can set the high migration threshold to 100 to prevent migration for the
storage pool.
v NETAPPDUMP
v CELERRADUMP
v NDMPDUMP
LOwmig
Specifies that the server stops migration when storage pool utilization is at or
below this percentage. For sequential-access disk (FILE) storage pools,
utilization is the ratio of data in a storage pool to the pool's total estimated
data capacity, including the capacity of all scratch volumes specified for the
pool. For storage pools that use tape media, utilization is the ratio of volumes
that contain data to the total number of volumes in the storage pool. The total
number of volumes includes the maximum number of scratch volumes. This
parameter is optional. You can specify an integer 0 - 99. The default value is
70.
When the storage pool reaches the low migration threshold, the server does
not start migration of files from another volume. You can set the low migration
threshold to 0 to allow migration to empty the storage pool.
v NETAPPDUMP
v CELERRADUMP
v NDMPDUMP
REClaim
Specifies when the server reclaims a volume, which is based on the percentage
of reclaimable space on a volume. Reclaimable space is the amount of space
that is occupied by files that are expired or deleted from the Tivoli Storage
Manager database.
Reclamation makes the fragmented space on volumes usable again by moving
any remaining unexpired files from one volume to another volume, thus
making the original volume available for reuse. This parameter is optional. You
can specify an integer 1 - 100. The default value is 60, except for storage pools
that use WORM devices.
For storage pools that use WORM devices, the default value is 100 to prevent
reclamation from occurring. This is the default because a WORM volume is not
reusable. If necessary, you can lower the value to allow the server to
consolidate data onto fewer volumes. Volumes that are emptied by reclamation
can be checked out of the library, freeing slots for new volumes.
When determining which volumes in a storage pool to reclaim, the Tivoli
Storage Manager server first determines the reclamation threshold indicated by
the RECLAIM. The server then examines the percentage of reclaimable space for
each volume in the storage pool. If the percentage of reclaimable space on a
volume is greater that the reclamation threshold of the storage pool, the
volume is a candidate for reclamation.
For example, suppose storage pool FILEPOOL has a reclamation threshold of
70 percent. This value indicates that the server can reclaim any volume in the
storage pool that has a percentage of reclaimable space that is greater that 70
percent. The storage pool has three volumes:
v FILEVOL1 with 65 percent reclaimable space
When reclamation begins, the server compares the percent of reclaimable space
for each volume with the reclamation threshold of 70 percent. In this example,
FILEVOL2 and FILEVOL3 are candidates for reclamation because their
percentages of reclaimable space are greater than 70. To determine the
percentage of reclaimable space for a volume, issue the QUERY VOLUME
command and specify FORMAT=DETAILED. The value in the field Pct. Reclaimable
Space is the percentage of reclaimable space for the volume.
Specify a value of 50 percent or greater for this parameter so that files stored
on two volumes can be combined onto a single output volume.
v NETAPPDUMP
v CELERRADUMP
v NDMPDUMP
RECLAIMPRocess
Specifies the number of parallel processes to use for reclaiming the volumes in
this storage pool. This parameter is optional. Enter a value 1 - 999. The default
value is 1.
When calculating the value for this parameter, consider the number of
sequential storage pools that will be involved with the reclamation and the
number of logical and physical drives that can be dedicated to the operation.

To access a sequential access volume, IBM Tivoli Storage Manager uses a
mount point and, if the device type is not FILE, a physical drive. The number
of available mount points and drives depends on other Tivoli Storage Manager
and system activity and on the mount limits of the device classes for the
sequential access storage pools that are involved in the reclamation.
For example, suppose that you want to reclaim the volumes from two
sequential storage pools simultaneously and that you want to specify four
processes for each of the storage pools. The storage pools have the same device
class. Assuming that the RECLAIMSTGPOOL parameter is not specified or that the
reclaim storage pool has the same device class as the storage pool that is being
reclaimed, each process requires two mount points and, if the device type is
not FILE, two drives. (One of the drives is for the input volume, and the other
drive is for the output volume.) To run eight reclamation processes
simultaneously, you need a total of at least 16 mount points and 16 drives. The
device class for the storage pools must have a mount limit of at least 16.
If the number of reclamation processes you specify is more than the number of
available mount points or drives, the processes that do not obtain mount
points or drives will wait for mount points or drives to become available. If
mount points or drives do not become available within the MOUNTWAIT
time, the reclamation processes will end. For information about specifying the
MOUNTWAIT time, see “DEFINE DEVCLASS (Define a device class)” on page
154.
The Tivoli Storage Manager server will start the specified number of
reclamation processes regardless of the number of volumes that are eligible for
reclamation. For example, if you specify ten reclamation processes and only six
volumes are eligible for reclamation, the server will start ten processes and
four of them will complete without processing a volume.

v NDMPDUMP
RECLAIMSTGpool
Specifies another primary storage pool as a target for reclaimed data from this
storage pool. This parameter is optional. When the server reclaims volumes for
the storage pool, the server moves unexpired data from the volumes that are
being reclaimed to the storage pool named with this parameter.
A reclaim storage pool is most useful for a storage pool that has only one drive
in its library. When you specify this parameter, the server moves all data from
reclaimed volumes to the reclaim storage pool regardless of the number of
drives in the library.
To move data from the reclaim storage pool back to the original storage pool,
use the storage pool hierarchy. Specify the original storage pool as the next
storage pool for the reclaim storage pool.
Restriction:
v This parameter is not available for storage pools that use the following data
formats:
v NETAPPDUMP
v CELERRADUMP
v NDMPDUMP
RECLAMATIONType
Specifies the method by which volumes are reclaimed and managed. This
parameter is optional. The default value is THRESHOLD. The following are
possible values:
THRESHold
Specifies that volumes that belong to this storage pool are reclaimed based
on the threshold value in the RECLAIM attribute for this storage pool.
SNAPlock
Specifies that FILE volumes that belong to this storage pool are managed
for retention using NetApp Data ONTAP software and NetApp SnapLock
volumes. This parameter is only valid for storage pools that are being
defined to a server that has data retention protection enabled and that is
assigned to a FILE device class. Volumes in this storage pool are not
reclaimed based on threshold; the RECLAIM value for the storage pool is
ignored.
All volumes in this storage pool are created as FILE volumes. A retention
date, which is derived from the retention attributes in the archive copy
group for the storage pool, is set in the metadata for the FILE volume
using the SnapLock feature of the NetApp Data ONTAP operating system.
Until the retention date expires, the FILE volume and any data on it cannot
be deleted from the physical SnapLock volume on which it is stored.
The RECLAMATIONTYPE parameter for all storage pools that are being defined
must be the same when defined to the same device class name. The DEFINE
command can fail if the RECLAMATIONTYPE parameter specified is different
from what is defined for storage pools that are already defined to the
device class name.
v NETAPPDUMP
v CELERRADUMP
v NDMPDUMP
COLlocate
Specifies whether the server attempts to keep data, which is stored on as few
volumes as possible, that belong to one of the following candidates:
v A single client node
v A group of file spaces
v A group of client nodes
v A client file space
This parameter is optional. The default value is GROUP.
Collocation reduces the number of sequential access media mounts for restore,
retrieve, and recall operations. However, collocation increases both the amount
of server time that is needed to collocate files for storing and the number of
volumes required. Collocation can also impact the number of processes
migrating disks to sequential pool. For details, see the Administrator's Guide.
You can specify one of the following options:
No Specifies that collocation is disabled. During migration from disk, processes
are created at a file space level.

GRoup
Specifies that collocation is enabled at the group level for client nodes or
file spaces. For collocation groups, the server attempts to put data for
nodes or file spaces that belong to the same collocation group on as few
volumes as possible.
If you specify COLLOCATE=GROUP but do not define any collocation
groups, or if you do not add nodes or file spaces to a collocation group,
data is collocated by node. Consider tape usage when you organize client
nodes or file spaces into collocation groups.
For example, if a tape-based storage pool consists of data from nodes and
you specify COLLOCATE=GROUP, the server completes the following
actions:
v Collocates the data by group for grouped nodes. Whenever possible, the
server collocates data that belongs to a group of nodes on a single tape
or on as few tapes as possible. Data for a single node can also be spread
across several tapes that are associated with a group.
v Collocates the data by node for ungrouped nodes. Whenever possible,
the server stores the data for a single node on a single tape. All available
tapes that already have data for the node are used before available space
on any other tape is used.
v During migration from disk, the server creates migration processes at the
collocation group level for grouped nodes, and at the node level for
ungrouped nodes.
If a tape-based storage pool consists of data from grouped file spaces and
actions:
v Collocates by group, the data for grouped file spaces only. Whenever
possible, the server collocates data that belongs to a group of file spaces
on a single tape or on as few tapes as possible. Data for a single file
space can also be spread across several tapes that are associated with a
group.
v Collocates the data by node (for file spaces that are not explicitly defined
to a file space collocation group). For example, node1 has file spaces that
are named A, B, C, D, and E. File spaces A and B belong to a file space
collocation group but C, D, and E do not. File spaces A and B are
collocated by file space collocation group, while C, D, and E are
collocated by node.
collocation group level for grouped file spaces.
Data is collocated on the least number of sequential access volumes.
NODe
Specifies that collocation is enabled at the client node level. For collocation
groups, the server attempts to put data for one node on as few volumes as
possible. If the node has multiple file spaces, the server does not try to
collocate those file spaces. For compatibility with an earlier version,
COLLOCATE=YES is still accepted by the server to specify collocation at
the client node level.
If a storage pool contains data for a node that is a member of a collocation
group and you specify COLLOCATE=NODE, the data is collocated by
node.
For COLLOCATE=NODE, the server creates processes at the node level
when you migrate data from disk.
FIlespace
Specifies that collocation is enabled at the file space level for client nodes.
The server attempts to place data for one node and file space on as few
volumes as possible. If a node has multiple file spaces, the server attempts
to place data for different file spaces on different volumes.
For COLLOCATE=FILESPACE, the server creates processes at the file space
level when you migrate data from disk.
MAXSCRatch (Required)
Specifies the maximum number of scratch volumes that the server can request
for this storage pool. You can specify an integer 0 - 100000000. By allowing the
server to request scratch volumes, you avoid having to define each volume to
be used.
The value that is specified for this parameter is used to estimate the total
number of volumes available in the storage pool and the corresponding
estimated capacity for the storage pool.
Scratch volumes are automatically deleted from the storage pool when they
become empty. When scratch volumes with the device type of FILE are
deleted, the space that the volumes occupied is freed by the server and
returned to the file system.
Tip: For server-to-server operations that use virtual volumes and that store a
small amount of data, consider specifying a value for the MAXSCRATCH
parameter that is higher than the value you typically specify for write
operations to other types of volumes. After a write operation to a virtual
volume, Tivoli Storage Manager marks the volume as FULL, even if the value
of the MAXCAPACITY parameter on the device-class definition is not reached. The
Tivoli Storage Manager server does not keep virtual volumes in FILLING
status and does not append to them. If the value of the MAXSCRATCH parameter
is too low, server-to-server operations can fail.
REUsedelay
Specifies the number of days that must elapse after all files are deleted from a
volume before the volume can be rewritten or returned to the scratch pool.
This parameter is optional. You can specify an integer 0 - 9999. The default
value is 0, which means that a volume can be rewritten or returned to the
scratch pool as soon as all the files are deleted from the volume.
Important: Use this parameter to help ensure that when you restore the
database to an earlier level, database references to files in the storage pool are
still valid. You must set this parameter to a value greater than the number of
days you plan to retain the oldest database backup. The number of days that
are specified for this parameter must be the same as the number specified for
the SET DRMDBBACKUPEXPIREDAYS command. For more information, see the
OVFLOcation
Specifies the overflow location for the storage pool. The server assigns this
location name to a volume that is ejected from the library by the command.
This parameter is optional. The location name can be a maximum length of 255
characters. Enclose the location name in quotation marks if the location name

MIGDelay
before it becomes eligible for migration. All files on a volume must be eligible
for migration before the server selects the volume for migration. To calculate a
value to compare to the specified MIGDELAY, the server counts the number of
days that the file has been in the storage pool.
This parameter is optional. You can specify an integer 0 - 9999. The default is
0, which means that you do not want to delay migration. If you want the
server to count the number of days based only on when a file was stored and
not when it was retrieved, use the NORETRIEVEDATE server option.

sequential storage pools that will be involved with the migration, and the
To access a sequential-access volume, Tivoli Storage Manager uses a mount
point and, if the device type is not FILE, a physical drive. The number of
available mount points and drives depends on other Tivoli Storage Manager
sequential access storage pools that are involved in the migration.
For example, suppose you want to simultaneously migrate the files from
volumes in two primary sequential storage pools and that you want to specify
three processes for each of the storage pools. The storage pools have the same
device class. Assuming that the storage pool to which files are being migrated
has the same device class as the storage pool from which files are being
migrated, each process requires two mount points and, if the device type is not
FILE, two drives. (One drive is for the input volume, and the other drive is for
the output volume.) To run six migration processes simultaneously, you need a
total of at least 12 mount points and 12 drives. The device class for the storage
pools must have a mount limit of at least 12.
If the number of migration processes you specify is more than the number of
time, the migration processes will end. For information about specifying the
154.
The Tivoli Storage Manager server will start the specified number of migration
processes regardless of the number of volumes that are eligible for migration.
For example, if you specify ten migration processes and only six volumes are
eligible for migration, the server will start ten processes and four of them will
complete without processing a volume.
Tip: When you specify this parameter, consider whether the

simultaneous-write function is enabled for server data migration. Each
migration process requires a mount point and a drive for each copy storage
pool and active-data pool that is defined to the target storage pool.

DATAFormat
Specifies the data format to use to back up files to this storage pool and restore
files from this storage pool. The default format is the NATIVE server format.
NATive
Specifies the data format is the native Tivoli Storage Manager server
format and includes block headers.
NONblock
Specifies the data format is the native Tivoli Storage Manager server
format and does not include block headers.

Important: The default minimum block size on a volume that is associated
with a FILE device class is 256 KB, regardless how much data is being
written to the volume. For certain tasks (for example, using
content-management products, using the DIRMC client option to store
directory information, or migrating very small files using Tivoli Storage
Manager for Space Management or Tivoli Storage Manager HSM for
Windows), you can minimize wasted space on storage volumes by
specifying the NONBLOCK data format. In most situations, however, the
NATIVE format is preferred.
NETAPPDump
Specifies the data is in a NetApp dump format. This data format must be
specified for file system images that are in a dump format and that were
backed up from a NetApp or an IBM System Storage N Series file server
using NDMP. The server does not complete migration, reclamation, or
AUDIT VOLUME for a storage pool with DATAFORMAT=NETAPPDUMP. You
can use the MOVE DATA command to move data from one primary storage
pool to another, or out of a volume if the volume must be reused.
CELERRADump
Specifies that the data is in an EMC Celerra dump format. This data format
must be specified for file system images that are in a dump format and
that were backed up from an EMC Celerra file server using NDMP. The
server does not complete migration, reclamation, or AUDIT VOLUME for a
storage pool with DATAFORMAT=CELERRADUMP. You can use the MOVE
DATA command to move data from one primary storage pool to another, or
out of a volume if the volume must be reused.
NDMPDump
Specifies that the data is in NAS vendor-specific backup format. Use this
data format for file system images that were backed up from a NAS file
server other than a NetApp or EMC Celerra file server. The server does not
complete migration, reclamation, or AUDIT VOLUME for a storage pool with
DATAFORMAT=NDMPDUMP. You can use the MOVE DATA command to
move data from one primary storage pool to another, or out of a volume if
the volume must be reused.
AUTOCopy
Specifies when Tivoli Storage Manager completes simultaneous-write
operations. The default value is CLIENT. This parameter is optional and affects
the following operations:

Specifies how the server reacts to a copy storage pool write failure for any of
the copy storage pools that are listed in the COPYSTGPOOLS parameter. This

operation, use the COPY ACTIVEDATA command to store the imported data in

DEDUPlicate
Specifies whether the data that is stored in this storage pool is deduplicated.
This parameter is optional and is valid only for storage pools that are defined
with a FILE-type device class. The default value is NO.
IDENTIFYPRocess
Specifies the number of parallel processes to use for server-side duplicate
identification. This parameter is optional and is valid only for storage pools
that are defined with a FILE device class. Enter a value 0 - 50. The default
value is 1. If the value of the DEDUPLICATE parameter is NO, the default setting
for IDENTIFYPROCESS has no effect.
When calculating the value for this parameter, consider the workload on the
server and the amount of data requiring data deduplication. Server-side
duplicate identification requires disk I/O and processor resources, so the more
processes you allocate to data deduplication, the heavier the workload that you
place on your system. In addition, consider the number of volumes that
require processing. Server-side duplicate-identification processes work on
volumes containing data that requires deduplication. If you update a storage
pool, specifying that the data in the storage pool is to be deduplicated, all the
volumes in the pool require processing. For this reason, you might have to
define a high number of duplicate-identification processes initially. Over time,
however, as existing volumes are processed, only the volumes containing new
data have to be processed. When that happens, you can reduce the number of
duplicate-identification processes.
Remember: Duplicate-identification processes can be either active or idle.

Processes that are working on files are active. Processes that are waiting for
files to work on are idle. Processes remain idle until volumes with data to be
deduplicated become available. The output of the QUERY PROCESS command for
a duplicate-identification process includes the total number of bytes and files
that have been processed since the process first started. For example, if a
duplicate-identification process processes four files, becomes idle, and then
processes five more files, then the total number of files processed is nine.
Processes end only when canceled or when the number of
duplicate-identification processes for the storage pool is changed to a value less
than the number currently specified.

If you change the value from the default, specify a value of 50 percent or
greater so that files stored on two volumes can be combined onto a single

When a copy pool volume that is offsite becomes eligible for reclamation, the
reclamation process attempts to obtain the unexpired files on the reclaimable
volume from a primary or copy storage pool that is onsite. The process then
writes these files to an available volume in the original copy storage pool.
Effectively, these files are moved back to the onsite location. However, the files
can be obtained from the offsite volume after a disaster if a database backup is
used that references the files on the offsite volume. Because of the way
reclamation works with offsite volumes, use it carefully with copy storage
pools.

is NOLIMIT. Possible values are:
NOLimit
Specifies that you want to have the space reclaimed in all of your offsite
volumes.
number
Specifies the number of offsite volumes to have their space reclaimed. You
can specify an integer from 0 to 99999. A value of zero means that none of
the offsite volumes will be reclaimed.
Important: When determining the value for the OFFSITERECLAIMLIMIT,

consider using the statistical information in the message issued at the end
of the offsite volume reclamation operation. Alternatively, you can use the
following Tivoli Storage Manager SQL select command to obtain the
statistical information from the SUMMARY table for the offsite volume
reclamation operation:
select * from summary where activity=’OFFSITE RECLAMATION’
The statistical information includes the following items:

v The number of offsite volumes that were processed
v The number of parallel processes that were used
v The total amount of time required for the processing
The order in which offsite volumes are reclaimed is based on the amount of
unused space in a volume. (Unused space includes both space that has never
been used on the volume and space that has become empty because of file
deletion.) Volumes with the largest amount of unused space are reclaimed first.
For example, suppose a copy storage pool contains three volumes: VOL1,
VOL2, and VOL3. VOL1 has the largest amount of unused space, and VOL3
has the least amount of unused space. Suppose further that the percentage of
unused space in each of the three volumes is greater than the value of the
RECLAIM parameter. If you do not specify a value for the OFFSITERECLAIMLIMIT
parameter, all three volumes will be reclaimed when the reclamation runs. If
you specify a value of 2, only VOL1 and VOL2 will be reclaimed when the
reclamation runs. If you specify a value of 1, only VOL1 will be reclaimed.

a file in a storage pool, Tivoli Storage Manager also analyzes the file in all
other storage pools.

DEFINE SUBSCRIPTION (Define a profile subscription)
Use this command on a managed server to subscribe that managed server to a
profile.
When a server subscribes to its first profile, a subscription is also created to the
default profile (if one exists) of the configuration manager. The server then contacts
the configuration manager periodically for configuration updates.
Restrictions:
1. A server cannot subscribe to profiles from more than one configuration
manager.
2. If a server subscribes to a profile with an associated object that is already
defined on the server, the local definition is replaced by the definition from the
configuration manager. For example, if a server has an administrative schedule
named WEEKLY_ BACKUP, then subscribes to a profile that also has an
administrative schedule named WEEKLY_BACKUP, the local definition is
replaced.

SERVer
Specifies the name of the configuration manager from which the configuration
information is obtained. This parameter is required, if the managed server does
not have at least one subscription. If the managed server has a subscription,
you can omit this parameter and it defaults to the configuration manager for
that subscription.
Example: Define a profile subscription

DEFINE VIRTUALFSMAPPING (Define a virtual file space
mapping)
Use this command to define a virtual file space mapping.
Virtual file space names can be used in the NAS data operations BACKUP NODE and
RESTORE NODE similar to a file system name. Refer to the documentation about your
NAS device for guidance on specifying the parameters for this command.
Note: The NAS node must have an associated data mover definition because when
the Tivoli Storage Manager server updates a virtual file space mapping, the server
attempts to contact the NAS device to validate the virtual file system and file
system name.
Privilege class
v System privilege
v Restricted policy privilege for the domain to which the NAS node is assigned.
Syntax
DEFine VIRTUALFSmapping node_name virtual_filespace_name
NAMEType = SERVER
file_system_name path
NAMEType = SERVER
HEXadecimal
Parameters
Specifies the NAS node on which the file system and path reside. You cannot
use wildcard characters or specify a list of names.
virtual_filespace_name (Required)
Specifies the name which refers to this virtual file space definition. The virtual
file space name is case sensitive and the first character must be a forward slash
/. The length of the name cannot be more than 64 characters, including the
required forward slash. Virtual file space names are restricted to the same
character set as all other objects in the Tivoli Storage Manager server except
that the forward slash / character is also allowed.
The virtual file space name cannot be identical to any file system on the NAS
node. When selecting a virtual file space name, consider the following
restrictions:
v If a file system is created on the NAS device with the same name as a
virtual file system, a name conflict will occur on the Tivoli Storage Manager
server when the new file space is backed up. Use a string for the virtual file
space name that is unlikely to be used as a real file system name on your
NAS device in the future.
For example: A user follows a naming convention for creating file spaces on
a NAS device with names of the form /vol1, /vol2, /vol3. The user defines
a virtual file space to the Tivoli Storage Manager server with the name
/vol9. If the user continues to use the same naming convention, the virtual
file space name is likely to conflict with a real file space name at some point
in the future.
v During backup and restore operations, Tivoli Storage Manager verifies that a
name conflict does not occur prior to starting the operation.
v The virtual file space name appears as a file space in the output of the
QUERY FILESPACE command, and also in the backup and restore panels of
the Tivoli Storage Manager Web client. Therefore, consider selecting a name
that unambiguously identifies this object as a directory path on the NAS
device.
file_system_name (Required)
Specifies the name of the file system in which the path is located. The file
system name must exist on the specified NAS node. The file system name
cannot contain wildcard characters.
path (Required)
Specifies the path from the root of the file system to the directory. The path can
only reference a directory. The maximum length of the path is 1024 characters.
The path name is case sensitive.
NAMEType
Specifies how the server should interpret the path name specified. This
parameter is useful when a path contains characters that are not part of the
code page in which the server is running. The default value is SERVER.
SERVER
The server uses the server code page to interpret the path name.
HEXadecimal
The server interprets the path that you enter as the hexadecimal
representation of the path. This option should be used when a path
contains characters that cannot be entered. This could occur if the NAS file
system is set to a language different from the one in which the server is
running.
Example: Define a virtual file space mapping
Define the virtual file space mapping name /mikeshomedir for the path /home/mike
on the file system /vol/vol1 on the NAS node named NAS1.
define virtualfsmapping nas1 /mikeshomedir /vol/vol1 /home/mike

DEFINE VOLUME (Define a volume in a storage pool)
Use this command to assign a random or sequential access volume to a storage
pool.
When you define a random-access (DISK) storage-pool volume or a sequential

access storage pool volume that is associated with a FILE device class, you can
have the server create the volume before it is assigned. Alternatively, you can use
space triggers to create preassigned volumes when predetermined space-utilization
thresholds are exceeded. For details about space triggers, see “DEFINE
SPACETRIGGER (Define the space trigger)” on page 316. For volumes associated
with device classes other than DISK or device types other than FILE, you can use
the DEFINE VOLUME command to assign an already-created volume to a storage pool.
Remember: Raw partitions generally provide the best performance, however an

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server running on Solaris 10 does not support ZFS
raw partitions.
Attention: Volumes for the z/OS® media server that are created using the DEFINE
VOLUME command remain physically full or allocated after Tivoli Storage Manager
empties the volume, for example, after expiration or reclamation. For FILE
volumes, the DASD space is not relinquished to the system when the volume is
emptied. If a storage pool requires an empty or filling volume, the FILE volume
can be used. In contrast, tape volumes that are logically empty are the same as
physically empty. FILE and tape volumes remain defined in Tivoli Storage
Manager. In contrast, SCRATCH volumes, including the physical storage that is
allocated for SCRATCH FILE volumes, are returned to the system when emptied.
To create space in sequential access storage pools, you can define volumes or allow
the server to request scratch volumes as needed, as specified by the MAXSCRATCH
parameter for the storage pool. For storage pools associated with the FILE device
class, the server can create private volumes as needed using storage-pool space
triggers. For DISK storage pools, the scratch mechanism is not available. However,
you can create space by creating volumes and then defining them to the server.
Alternatively, you can have the server create volumes that use storage-pool space
triggers.
Tivoli Storage Manager does not validate the existence of a volume name when
defining a volume in a storage pool that is associated with a library. The defined
volume has “0” EST capacity until data is written to the volume.
Attention: The size of a storage pool volume cannot be changed after it is

defined to the Tivoli Storage Manager server.
If you change the size of Tivoli Storage Manager volumes by altering the file
sizes of the volumes with operating system commands or utilities, the server
might not initialize correctly and data can be lost.
Restrictions:
v You cannot use this command to define volumes in storage pools with the
parameter setting RECLAMATIONTYPE=SNAPLOCK. Volumes in this type of storage
pool are allocated by using the MAXSCRATCH parameter on the storage pool
definition.
v You cannot define volumes in a storage pool that is defined with the CENTERA
device class.
Physical files that are allocated with DEFINE VOLUME command are not removed
from a file space if you issue the DELETE VOLUME command.

Parameters
Specifies the name of the storage pool to which the volume is assigned.
Specifies the name of the storage pool volume to be defined. If you specify a
number greater than 1 for the NUMBEROFVOLUMES parameter, the volume name is
used as a prefix to generate multiple volume names. The volume name that
you specify depends on the type of device that the storage pool uses.
Each volume that is used by a server for any purpose must have a unique
name. This requirement applies to all volumes, whether the volumes are used
for storage pools, or used for operations such as database backup or export.
The requirement also applies to volumes that reside in different libraries but
that are used by the same server.
Remember: Volume names cannot contain embedded blanks or equal signs.

ACCess
Specifies how client nodes and server processes (such as migration) can access
files in the storage pool volume. This parameter is optional. The default value
is READWRITE. Possible values are:
READWrite
Specifies that client nodes and server processes can read from and write to
files stored on the volume.
READOnly
Specifies that client nodes and server processes can only read files that are
stored on the volume.
UNAVailable
Specifies that client nodes or server processes cannot access files that are
If you define a random access volume as UNAVAILABLE, you cannot vary
the volume online.
If you define a sequential access volume as UNAVAILABLE, the server
does not attempt to access the volume.
OFfsite
Specifies that the volume is at an offsite location from which it cannot be
mounted. You can specify this value only for volumes in copy storage
pools.
Use this value to help you track volumes at offsite locations. The server
treats volumes that are designated as offsite differently:
v The server does not generate mount requests for volumes designated
offsite.
v The server reclaims or moves data from offsite volumes by retrieving
files from other storage pools.
v The server does not automatically delete empty, offsite scratch volumes
from a copy storage pool.
LOcation
Specifies the location of the volume. This parameter is optional. It can be
specified only for volumes in sequential access storage pools. The location
information can be a maximum length of 255 characters. Enclose the location in
Formatsize
Specifies the size of the random access volume or FILE volume that is created
and formatted in one step. The value is specified in megabytes. The maximum
size is 8 000 000 MB (8 terabytes). This parameter is required if any of the
following conditions are true:
v A single FILE or DISK volume is specified, which is to be created and
formatted in one step.
v The value for the NUMBEROFVOLUMES parameter is greater than 1, and DISK
volumes are being created.
v The value of the NUMBEROFVOLUMES parameter is greater than 1, and the value
of the FORMATSIZE parameter is less than or equal to the MAXCAPACITY
parameter of the DEFINE DEVCLASS command.
If you are allocating volumes on a z/OS media server, this parameter is not
valid.
For a FILE volume, you must specify a value less than or equal to the value of
the MAXCAPACITY parameter of the device class associated with the storage pool.
You cannot use this parameter for multiple, predefined volumes. Unless you
specify WAIT=YES is specified, the operation is completed as a background
process.
Numberofvolumes
Specifies the number of volumes that are created and formatted in one step.
This parameter applies only to storage pools with DISK or FILE device classes.
This parameter is optional. The default is 1. If you specify a value greater than
1, you must also specify a value for the FORMATSIZE parameter. Specify a
number from 1 to 256.
If you are allocating volumes on a z/OS media server, the only value that this
parameter supports is the default value of 1.

If the value for the NUMBEROFVOLUMES parameter is greater than 1, the volume
name you specified will have a numeric suffix appended to create each name,
for example, tivolivol001 and tivolivol002. Be sure to chose a volume name so
that a valid file name for the target file system is created when the suffix is
appended.
Important: You must ensure that storage agents can access newly created FILE
volumes. For more information, see “DEFINE PATH (Define a path)” on page
255.
Wait
Specifies whether volume creation and formatting operation is completed in
the foreground or background. This parameter is optional. It is ignored unless
you also specify the FORMATSIZE parameter.
No Specifies that a volume creation and formatting operation is completed in
the background. The NO value is the default when you also specify a
format size.
Yes
Specifies that a volume creation and formatting operation is completed in
the foreground.
Remember: You cannot specify WAIT=YES from the server console.
Example: Use a background process to define a new 100 MB

volume for a disk storage pool
Create a volume of 100 MB in the disk storage pool named BACKUPPOOL. The
volume name is /var/storage/bf.dsm. Let the volume be created as a background
process.
define volume backuppool
/var/storage/bf.dsm formatsize=100
Example: Define a volume to a disk storage pool with read and

write access
A storage pool named POOL1 is assigned to a tape device class. Define a volume
named TAPE01 to this storage pool, with READWRITE access.
define volume pool1 tape01 access=readwrite
Example: Define a volume to a file storage pool
A storage pool that is named FILEPOOL is assigned to a device class with a device
type of FILE. Define a volume that is named filepool_vol01 to this storage pool.
define volume filepool /usr/storage/filepool_vol01
Example: Example: Use a background process to define 10

volumes for a file storage pool with a device class 5 GB
maximum capacity
Define 10 volumes in a sequential storage pool that uses a FILE device class. The
storage pool is named FILEPOOL. The value of the MAXCAPACITY parameter for the
device class that is associated with this storage pool is 5 GB. Creation must occur
in the background.
define volume filepool filevol numberofvolumes=10 formatsize=5000
The Tivoli Storage Manager server creates volume names filevol001 through
filevol010.
Volumes are created in the directory or directories that are specified with the
DIRECTORY parameter of the device class that is associated with storage pool
filepool. If you specified multiple directories for the device class, individual
volumes can be created in any of the directories in the list.

When the server creates a backup set, the retention period assigned to the backup
set determines how long the backup set remains in the database. When that date
passes, the server automatically deletes the backup set when expiration processing
runs. However, you can also manually delete the client's backup set from the
server before it is scheduled to expire by using the DELETE BACKUPSET command.
Attention: If the volumes contain multiple backup sets, they are not returned to
scratch status until all the backup sets are expired or are deleted.

DELETE FILESPACE (Delete client node data from the server)
Use this command to delete file spaces from the server. Files that belong to the file
space are deleted from primary, active-data, and copy storage pools, and any file
space collocation groups.
Tivoli Storage Manager deletes one or more file spaces as a series of batch database
transactions, thus preventing a rollback or commit for an entire file space as a
single action. If the process is canceled or if a system failure occurs, a partial
deletion can occur. A subsequent DELETE FILESPACE command for the same node or
owner can delete the remaining data.
If this command is applied to a WORM (write once, read many) volume, the
volume is returned to scratch if it has space on which data can be written. (Data
on WORM volumes, including deleted and expired data, cannot be overwritten.
Therefore, data can be written only in space that does not contain current, deleted,
or expired data.) If a WORM volume does not have any space available on which
data can be written, it remains private. To remove the volume from the library, you
must use the CHECKOUT LIBVOLUME command.
Tips:
v If archive retention protection is enabled, the server deletes archive files with
expired retention periods. For more information, see the SET
ARCHIVERETENTIONPROTECTION command.
v The server does not delete archive files that are on deletion hold until the hold is
released.
v Reclamation does not start while the DELETE FILESPACE command is running.
v If a file space is part of a collocation group and you remove the file space from a
node, the file space is removed from the collocation group.
| v If you delete a file space in a deduplicated storage pool, the file space name
| DELETED is displayed in the output of the QUERY OCCUPANCY command until all
| deduplication dependencies are removed.

and must be entered exactly as it is known to the server. To determine how to
enter the name, use the QUERY FILESPACE command. You can use wildcard
characters to specify this name.
For a server that has clients with support for Unicode, you might have the
server convert the file space name that you enter. For example, you might
want to have the server convert the name that you entered from the server's
code page, to Unicode. See the NAMETYPE parameter for details. If you do not
specify a file space name, or specify only a single wildcard character for the
name, you can use the CODETYPE parameter to limit the operation to Unicode
file spaces or to non-Unicode file spaces.

DELETE KEYRING (Delete password information in the key
database)
Use this command to delete the password information in the Tivoli Storage
Manager database for the key database (cert.kdb).
This command is needed when the SSLTCPPORT or SSLTCPADMINPORT options are in

use and the cert.kdb file has been lost or is not recoverable. If the cert.kdb file
does not exist and there is no entry in the database for its password, Tivoli Storage
Manager automatically generates a new self-signed certificate in a replacement
cert.kdb file at server startup. The administrator then distributes the new public
key (that is, the corresponding cert.arm file) to the clients that are using Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL).
If the password information is lost after it was updated outside of the server, use
this command to delete the key database file information from the server database.
You can also delete cert.* files from the server instance directory. When the server
is restarted, it regenerates the cert.kdb file.

DELETE PROFILE (Delete a profile)
Use this command on a configuration manager to delete a profile and stop its
distribution to managed servers.
You cannot delete a locked profile. You must first unlock the profile with the
UNLOCK PROFILE command.
Deleting a profile from a configuration manager does not delete objects associated
with that profile from the managed servers. You can use the DELETE SUBSCRIPTION
command with the DISCARDOBJECTS=YES parameter on each subscribing
managed server to delete subscriptions to the profile and associated objects. This
also prevents the managed servers from requesting further updates to the profile.

DELETE SUBSCRIBER (Delete subscriptions from a
configuration manager database)
Use this command on a configuration manager to delete managed server
subscriptions from the configuration manager database. Use this command when a
managed server no longer exists or cannot notify the configuration manager after
deleting a subscription.
Attention: Use this command only in rare situations in which the configuration
manager's database contains an entry for a subscription, but the managed server
does not have such a subscription. For example, use this command if a managed
server no longer exists or cannot notify the configuration manager after deleting a
subscription.
Under normal circumstances, use the DELETE SUBSCRIPTION command to delete a

subscription from the managed server. The managed server notifies the
configuration manager, which then deletes the subscription from its database.

DELETE VOLHISTORY (Delete sequential volume history
information)
Use this command to delete volume history file records that are no longer needed
(for example, records for obsolete database backup volumes).
When you delete records for volumes that are not in storage pools (for example,
database backup or export volumes), the volumes return to scratch status even if
Tivoli Storage Manager acquired them as private volumes. Scratch volumes of
device type FILE are deleted. When you delete the records for storage pool
volumes, the volumes remain in the Tivoli Storage Manager database. When you
delete records for recovery plan file objects from a source server, the objects on the
target server are marked for deletion.
Use the DELETE BACKUPSET command to delete specified backup set volume
information in the volume history file. Do not use this DELETE VOLHISTORY
command to delete backup set volume information in the volume history file.
For users of DRM, the database backup expiration should be controlled with the
SET DRMDBBACKUPEXPIREDAYS command instead of this DELETE
VOLHISTORY command. Using the DELETE VOLHISTORY command removes
Tivoli Storage Manager's record of the volume. This can cause volumes to be lost
that were managed by the MOVE DRMEDIA command. The recommended way to
manage the automatic expiration of DRM database backup volumes is by using the
SET DRMDBBACKUPEXPIREDAYS command.
Notes:
1. Volumes for the most recent database backup series are not deleted.
2. Existing volume history files are not automatically updated with this command.
3. You can use the DEFINE SCHEDULE command to periodically delete volume
history records.

DELETE VOLUME (Delete a storage pool volume)
Use this command to delete a storage pool volume and, optionally, the files stored
in the volume.
If the volume has data, to delete the volume you must do one of the following:
v Before deleting the volume, use the MOVE DATA command to move all files to
another volume.
v Explicitly request to discard all files in the volume when the volume is deleted
(by specifying DISCARDDATA=YES).
If you are deleting several volumes, delete the volumes one at a time. Deleting
more than one volume at a time can adversely affect server performance.
Storage pool volumes cannot be deleted if they are in use. For example, a volume
cannot be deleted if a user is restoring or retrieving a file residing in the volume, if
the server is writing information to the volume, or if a reclamation process is using
the volume.
If you issue the DELETE VOLUME command, volume information is deleted from the
Tivoli Storage Manager database. However, the physical files that are allocated
with DEFINE VOLUME command are not removed from the file space.
If this command is applied to a WORM (write once, read many) volume, the
volume returns to scratch if it has space remaining in which data can be written.
(Note that data on WORM volumes, including deleted and expired data, cannot be
overwritten. Therefore, data can only be written in space that does not contain
current, deleted, or expired data.) If a WORM volume does not have any space
available in which data can be written, it remains private. To remove the volume
from the library, you must use the CHECKOUT LIBVOLUME command.
The DELETE VOLUME command automatically updates the server library inventory
for sequential volumes if the volume is returned to scratch status when the volume
becomes empty. To determine whether a volume will be returned to scratch status,
issue the QUERY VOLUME command and look at the output. If the value for the
attribute "Scratch Volume?" is "Yes," then the server library inventory is
automatically updated.
If the value is "No," you can issue the UPDATE LIBVOLUME command to specify the
status as scratch. It is recommended that you issue the UPDATE LIBVOLUME command
after issuing the DELETE VOLUME command.
Attempting to use the DELETE VOLUME command to delete WORM FILE volumes in
a storage pool with RECLAMATIONTYPE=SNAPLOCK fails with an error
message. Deletion of empty WORM FILE volumes is performed only by the
reclamation process.
If you issue the DELETE VOLUME command for a volume in a storage pool that has a
SHRED parameter value greater than 0, the volume is placed in the pending state
until shredding is run. Shredding is necessary to complete the deletion, even if the
volume is empty.
If you issue the DELETE VOLUME command for a volume in a storage pool that is set
up for data deduplication, the Tivoli Storage Manager destroys any object that is
referencing data on that volume.

Parameters
Specifies the name of the volume to delete.
DISCARDdata
Specifies whether files stored in the volume are deleted. This parameter is
optional. The default value is NO. Possible values are:
No Specifies that files stored in the volume are not deleted. If the volume
contains any files, the volume is not deleted.
Yes
Specifies that all files stored in the volume are deleted. The server does not
need to mount the volume for this type of deletion.
Remember:
1. The Tivoli Storage Manager server does not delete archive files that are
on deletion hold.
2. If archive retention protection is enabled, the Tivoli Storage Manager
server deletes only archive files whose retention period has expired.
If the volume being deleted is a primary storage pool volume, the server
checks whether any copy storage pool has copies of files that are being
deleted. When files stored in a primary storage pool volume are deleted,
any copies of these files in copy storage pools are also deleted.
When you delete a disk volume in a primary storage pool, the command
also deletes any files that are cached copies (copies of files that have been
migrated to the next storage pool). Deleting cached copies of files does not
delete the files that have already been migrated or backed up to copy
storage pools. Only the cached copies of the files are affected.
If the volume being deleted is a copy storage pool volume, only files on
the copy pool volume are deleted. The primary storage pool files are not
affected.
Do not use the DELETE VOLUME command with DISCARDDATA=YES if a
restore process (RESTORE STGPOOL or RESTORE VOLUME) is running. The
DELETE VOLUME command could cause the restore to be incomplete.

If you cancel the DELETE VOLUME operation during processing or if a system
failure occurs, some files might remain on the volume. You can delete the
same volume again to have the server delete the remaining files and then
the volume.
Wait

requested that any data on the volume be discarded. This parameter is
optional. The default value is No. Possible values are:

DISABLE EVENTS (Disable events for event logging)
Use this command to disable the processing of one or more events. If you specify a
receiver that is not supported on any platform, or if you specify an invalid event
or name, Tivoli Storage Manager issues an error message. However, any valid
receivers, events, or names that you specified are still enabled.
Tip: Messages in the SEVERE category and message ANR9999D can provide
valuable diagnostic information if there are serious server problems. For this
reason, you should not disable these messages.
Restriction:
v Certain messages are displayed on the console even if they are disabled. These
include some messages issued during server startup and shutdown and
responses to administrative commands.
v Server messages from the server on which this command is issued cannot be
disabled for the activity log.
ANR1822I indicates that event logging is being ended for the specified receiver.
When the DISABLE EVENTS command is issued, this message is logged to the
receiver even if it is one of the events that has been disabled. This is done to
confirm that event logging has ended to that receiver, but subsequent ANR1822I
messages are not logged to that receiver.

EXPIRE INVENTORY (Manually start inventory expiration processing)
Use this command to manually start inventory expiration processing. The
inventory expiration process removes client backup and archive file copies from
server storage. Removal is based on policy specifications in the backup and archive
copy groups of the management classes to which the files are bound.
When you have the disaster recovery manager function for your Tivoli Storage
Manager server, the inventory expiration process also removes eligible virtual
volumes that are used by the following processes:
v Database backups of type BACKUPFULL, BACKUPINCR, and DBSNAPSHOT.
The SET DRMDBBACKUPEXPIREDAYS command controls when these volumes are
eligible for expiration.
v Recovery plan files of type RPFILE and RPFSNAPSHOT. The SET
DRMRPFEXPIREDAYS command controls when these volumes are eligible for
expiration.
The inventory expiration process that runs during server initialization does not
remove these virtual volumes.
Only one expiration process is allowed at any time, but this process can be
distributed among a maximum of 40 threads. If an expiration process is currently
running, you cannot start another process.
You can set up automatic expiration processing with the EXPINTERVAL server
option. If you set the EXPINTERVAL option to 0, the server does not run expiration
automatically, and you must issue the EXPIRE INVENTORY command to start
expiration processing.
This command creates a background process that can be canceled with the CANCEL
If this command is applied to a WORM volume, the volume returns to being a

scratch volume if it has remaining space in which data can be written. Data on
WORM volumes, including deleted and expired data, cannot be overwritten.
Therefore, data can be written only in space that does not contain current, deleted,
or expired data. If a WORM volume does not have any space available in which
data can be written, it remains private. To remove the volume from the library, you
must use the CHECKOUT LIBVOLUME command.
Run the EXPIRE INVENTORY command to delete files from server storage if they
were not completely deleted when you used client delete operations.
See the Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide for more information
about client delete operations.

Parameters
Quiet
Specifies whether the server suppresses detailed messages about policy
changes during the expiration processing. This parameter is optional. The
default is NO. Possible values are:
No Specifies that the server sends detailed informational messages.
Yes
Specifies that the server sends only summary messages. The server issues
messages about policy changes only when files are deleted and either the
default management class or retention grace period for the domain was
used to expire the files.
You can also specify the EXPQUIET option in the server options file to
automatically determine whether expiration processing is run with
summary messages.
Wait

Yes

SKipdirs
Specifies whether the server skips directory type objects during the expiration
processing. This parameter is optional. The default is NO. Possible values are:
No Specifies that the server expires files and directories based upon the
appropriate policy criteria.
Yes
Specifies that the server will skip directory type backup and archive objects
during expiration processing, even if the directories are eligible for
expiration. By specifying YES, you prevent deletion of directories, and
expiration processing can occur more quickly.
Attention: This option should not be used all of the time. With Tivoli
Storage Manager
Attention: Version 6.0 and later, you can run multiple threads (resources)
for an expiration process. Also, if you specify YES often, the database
grows as the directory objects accumulate, and the time spent for
expiration increases. Run SKIPDIRS=NO periodically to expire the
directories and reduce the size of the database.
Node
Specifies the name of the client nodes or node groups whose data is to be
processed. To specify multiple node and node group names, separate the
names with commas and no intervening spaces. Node names can contain
wildcard characters, but node group names cannot.
You can specify either NODE or DOMAIN. If you specify both, only those
nodes that match the criteria for both specified command options are
processed. If you do not specify either NODE or DOMAIN with a value, data
for all nodes is processed.
Domain
Specifies that only data for client nodes assigned to the specified domain is to
be processed. You can specify either NODE or DOMAIN. If you specify both,
only those nodes that match the criteria for both specified command options
are processed. If you do not specify either NODE or DOMAIN with a value,
data for all nodes is processed.
Type
Specifies the type of data to be processed. The default value is ALL. Possible
values are:
ALl
Process all types of data that are eligible for expiration
Archive
Process only client archive data
Backup
Process only client backup data
Other
Process only items for disaster recovery manager functions, such as
recovery plan files and obsolete database backups
REsource
Specifies the number of threads that can run in parallel. Specify a number from
one to 40. The default is 4.
Expiration runs as a single process, although the resources represent parallel
work by the server within the single expiration process. Archive data for a
node runs only on a single resource, but backup data can be spread across
resources on a file space level. For example, if you specify NODE=X,Y,Z each
with three file spaces and RESOURCE=5, then expiration processing for the three

X, Y, and Z client nodes run in parallel. At least one resource processes each
node, and at least one node uses multiple resources for processing backup data
across the multiple file spaces.
DUration
Specifies the maximum number of minutes for the expiration process to run.
The process stops when the specified number of minutes pass or when all
eligible expired objects are deleted, whichever comes first. You can specify a
number from 1 to 999999. This parameter is optional. If this parameter is not
specified, the duration of the expiration process is not limited by time.
Example: Run inventory expiration processing for a specific time

period
Run the expiration process for two hours.

expire inventory duration=120
Example: Run inventory expiration processing for backup data

for two client nodes
Run inventory expiration processing for the backup data for two client nodes,
CHARLIE and ROBBIE. Allow the server to run expiration processing until
completed.

EXPORT commands
Use the EXPORT commands to copy information from a Tivoli Storage Manager
server to sequential removable media.
Important: For commands that export administrators or nodes, you must consider
the method of authentication. The Tivoli Storage Manager server cannot export or
import passwords for nodes or administrators that are authenticating with LDAP
directory servers. If the current authentication method uses an LDAP directory
server and the password is not already synchronized by that server, you must
update the password. After issuing the EXPORT command, set the password by
issuing the UPDATE ADMIN or UPDATE NODE command.
v “EXPORT ADMIN (Export administrator information)” on page 476
v “EXPORT NODE (Export client node information)” on page 483
v “EXPORT POLICY (Export policy information)” on page 504
v “EXPORT SERVER (Export server information)” on page 511

EXPORT ADMIN (Export administrator information)
Use this command to export administrator and authority definitions from a server.
You can export the information to sequential media for later importing to another
server, or you can export the information directly to another server for immediate
import.
Important:
v If target and source server levels are not compatible, the operation might not
work. See the Administrator's Guide for server compatibility requirements.
v You cannot use a CENTERA device class as the target medium for an export
command, or as the source medium for an import command.
Tivoli Storage Manager exports administrator information such as:

v Administrator name, password, and contact information
v Administrative privilege classes that are granted to the administrator
v Whether the administrator ID is locked from server access
You can use the QUERY ACTLOG command to view the status of the export operation.
You can also view this information from the server console.
This command generates a background process that can be canceled with the
CANCEL PROCESS command. If you export information to sequential media and the
background process is canceled, the sequential media that is holding the exported
data is incomplete, it must not be used for importing data. If a server-to-server
export background process is canceled, a partial import might result. Evaluate any
imported data on the target server to determine whether you want to keep or
delete the imported data. Review the import messages for details. To display
information about background processes, use the QUERY PROCESS command.
Limitation: The Tivoli Storage Manager server does not convert code pages during
export, import, and node replication operations. If servers are running in different
locales, some information in databases or system output might become unreadable.
Invalid characters might be displayed, for example, in the contact information for
the administrator and client nodes, and in descriptions of policy domains. Any
field that is stored in the server character set and that includes extended ASCII
characters can be affected. To resolve the issue after the import or node replication
operation, update the fields with the appropriate UPDATE commands. This server
limitation does not affect client data. Any client data that was exported, imported,
or replicated can be restored, retrieved, and recalled.
The EXPORT ADMIN command takes two forms: Export directly to another server on
the network, or export to sequential media. The syntax and parameters for each
form are defined separately.

is required if you specify PREVIEW=NO.
You cannot specify the DISK, NAS, or CENTERA device classes.
If all drives for the device class are busy when the export runs, Tivoli Storage
Manager cancels lower priority operations to make a drive available.
Tip: You can export data to a storage pool on another server by specifying a
device class whose device type is SERVER. For details about storing data on
another server, see the Administrator's Guide.
Scratch
Specifies whether scratch volumes can be used. The default value is YES.
Yes
Specifies that scratch volumes can be used for export. If you also specify a
list of volumes, scratch volumes are used only if there is not enough space
on the volumes specified.
No Specifies that scratch volumes cannot be used for export. To determine
how many volumes you might need, you can run the command specifying
PREVIEW=YES.
VOLumenames
Specifies the volumes to be used to contain exported data. This parameter is
optional, unless you specify SCRATCH=NO and PREVIEW=NO. If you do not
specify a volume name, scratch volumes are used.
volume_name
Specifies the volume name. To specify multiple volumes, separate the
names with commas and no intervening spaces.
FILE:file_name
Specifies the name of a file that contains a list of volumes. In the file, each
volume name must be on a separate line. Blank and comment lines that
begin with an asterisk are ignored.
Use these naming conventions when specifying volumes associated with the
following device types:
For this device Specify

Tape 1–6 alphanumeric characters.
FILE Any fully qualified file name string. For example:
/imdata/mt1.
SERVER 1–250 alphanumeric characters.

USEDVolumelist
Specifies the file where a list of volumes used in the export operation are
stored. This parameter is optional.
This file can be used in the import operation. This file contains comment lines
with the date and time the export was done, and the command issued to create
the export.
Attention: If you specify an existing file, the file is overwritten.

ENCryptionstrength
Indicates which algorithm to use to encrypt passwords when exporting
administrative and node records. This parameter is optional. The default value
is AES. If you are exporting to a server that does not support AES, specify
DES. Possible values are:
AES
Specifies the Advanced Encryption Standard.
DES
Specifies the Data Encryption Standard.
Example: Export administrator definitions to tape volumes
From the server, export the information for all defined administrators to tape
volumes TAPE01, TAPE02, and TAPE03. Specify that these tape volumes be read

MENU1 device class. Issue the command:
export admin devclass=menu1 volumenames=file:tapevol
The number and types of objects that are exported are reported to the system
console and in the activity log.
EXPORT ADMIN (Export administrator information directly to
another server)
Use this command to export administrator and authority definitions directly to
another server on the network. This results in an immediate import on the target
server.
You can issue a QUERY PROCESS command from the target server to monitor the
progress of the import operation.

Parameters
admin_name
Specifies the administrators for which information is to be exported. This
parameter is optional. The default is all administrators.
Separate the items in the list by commas, with no intervening spaces. You can
use wildcard characters to specify names.
TOServer
Specifies the name of a server to which the export data is sent directly over the
network for immediate import.
Important: The target server must be defined on the originating server with
the DEFINE SERVER command. The administrator that issues the export
command must be defined with the same administrator name and password
and have system authority on the target server.
When you specify TOSERVER, you cannot specify the DEVCLASS,
VOLUMENAMES, and SCRATCH, USEDVOLUMELIST, and PREVIEW
parameters.
PREVIEWImport
Specifies whether to view how much data is transferred, without actually
moving any data. This information can be used to determine how much
storage pool space is required on the target server. The default is NO.
Valid values are:

Yes
Specifies that you want to preview the results of the import operation on
the target server, without importing the data. Information is reported to the
server console and the activity log.
No Specifies that you want the data to be imported on the target server
without previewing the results.
Replacedefs
Specifies whether to replace definitions (not file data) on the server. The
default is NO.
Valid values are:
Yes
Specifies that definitions are replaced on the server if definitions having
the same name as those being imported exist on the target server.
No Specifies that imported definitions are skipped if their names conflict with
definitions that are already defined on the target server.

EXPORT NODE (Export client node information)
Use this command to export client node definitions or file data to sequential media
or directly to another server for immediate import.
You can export data from a server with retention protection enabled The data is
not protected by retention when it is imported to another server.
You cannot export nodes of type NAS; export processing excludes these nodes.
The following information is included in each client node definition:

v User ID, password, and contact information.
v Name of the client's assigned policy domain.
v File compression status.
v Whether the user has the authority to delete backed-up or archived files from
server storage.
v Whether the client node ID is locked from server access.
Optionally, you can also export the following items:

v File space definitions.
v Backed-up, archived, and files that were migrated by a Tivoli Storage Manager
for Space Management client.
v Access authorization information that pertains to the file spaces exported.
v Archive data that is in deletion hold status (the hold status is preserved). When
the archive data is imported, it remains in deletion hold.
If you use an LDAP directory server to authenticate passwords, any servers that
you export to must be configured for LDAP passwords. Node data that is exported
from a node that authenticates with an LDAP directory server is inaccessible if the
target server is not properly configured. If your target server is not configured,
exported data from an LDAP node can still be exported. But the target server must
be configured to use LDAP, to access the data.
The EXPORT NODE command generates a background process that can be

canceled with the CANCEL PROCESS command. If you are exporting node information

to sequential media and the background process is canceled, the sequential media
that is holding the exported data is incomplete, it must not be used to import data.
If a server-to-server export background process is canceled, a partial import might
result. Evaluate any imported data on the target server to determine whether you
want to keep or delete the imported data. Review the import messages for details.
To display information about background processes, issue the QUERY PROCESS
command.
To display information about any running and suspended server-to-server export

operations, issue the QUERY EXPORT command. The QUERY EXPORT command displays
information only for exports that are, or can be, suspended. Export operations that
can be suspended, and then restarted, are those server-to-server exports whose
FILEDATA has a value other than NONE. You can issue the QUERY ACTLOG
command to view the status of the export operation.
Restrictions:
Because of unpredictable results, do not run expiration, migration, backup, or

archive when you are issuing the EXPORT NODE command. See the Administrator's
Guide for more information.
For a server that has clients with support for Unicode, you can get the server to
convert the file space name that you enter, or use one of the following parameters:

Parameters
node_name
Specifies the client node names for which information is to be exported. This
parameter is optional. Separate multiple names with commas and no
intervening spaces. You can use wildcard characters to specify names. For each
node entered, all file spaces in the file space, FSID, and Unicode enabled lists
are searched.
Restriction: If you use wildcard characters to specify a pattern for node

names, the server does not report the node names or patterns that do not
match any entries in the database. Check the summary statistics in the activity
log to verify that the server exported all intended nodes.
FILESpace
Specifies the file spaces for which data is to be exported. This parameter is
optional. Separate multiple names with commas and no intervening spaces.
You can use wildcard characters to specify a name.
FSID
Specifies the file spaces by using their file space IDs (FSIDs). The server uses
the FSIDs to find the file spaces to export. To find the FSID for a file space, use
the QUERY FILESPACE command. Separate multiple file space IDs with commas
and no intervening spaces. This parameter is optional.
UNIFILESpace
Specifies the file spaces that are known to the server as Unicode enabled. The
server converts the names that you enter from the server code page to the
UTF-8 code page to find the file spaces to export. The success of the
conversion depends on the actual characters in the name and the server's code
page. Separate multiple names with commas and no intervening spaces. This
DOmains
Specifies the policy domains from which nodes are to be exported. This
intervening spaces. If you specify domains, a node is exported only if it
belongs to one of the specified domains. You can use wildcard characters to
specify a name.

FILEData
Specifies the type of files that are to be exported for all nodes that are being
exported to the server. This parameter is optional. The default value is NONE.
Note: If you are exporting a node that has group data, data that is not a part
of the target objects might be exported. An example of group data is virtual
machine data or system state backup data. For example, if
FILEDATA=BACKUPACTIVE when the FROMDATE or TODATE parameters
are specified, it is possible to include inactive backup data. The incremental
backup processing for the data can cause extra files that do not meet the
filtering criteria to be exported.
If you are exporting to sequential media: the device class that is used by the
file data is determined by the device class for the storage pool. If it is the same
device class that is specified in this command, two drives are needed to export
node information. The mount limit for the device class must be at least 2.
Important: If client nodes registered as TYPE=SERVER are being exported,

specify ALL, ARCHIVE, or ALLACTIVE.
The following descriptions mention active and inactive backup file versions. An
active backup file version is the most recent backup version for a file that still
exists on the client workstation. All other backup file versions are called
inactive copies. This parameter supports the following values:
ALl
The server exports all backup versions of files, all archived files, and all
files that were migrated by a Tivoli Storage Manager for Space
Management client.
None
The server does not export files, only node definitions.
ARchive
The server exports only archived files.
Backup
The server exports only backup versions, whether active or inactive.
BACKUPActive
The server exports only active backup versions. These active backup
versions are the active versions in the Tivoli Storage Manager database at
the time that the EXPORT command is issued.
ALLActive
The server exports all active backup versions of files, all archived files, and
all files that were migrated by a Tivoli Storage Manager for Space
Management client. The active backup versions are the active versions in
the Tivoli Storage Manager database at the time that the EXPORT command
is issued.

FROMDate
Specifies the earliest date for which files to be exported were stored on the
server. Files that were stored on the server earlier than the specified date are
not exported. This parameter only applies to client file data. This parameter
does not affect other information that might be exported, for example, policy.
Tivoli Storage Manager ignores the FROMDATE parameter when the
FILEDATA parameter is set to NONE.
Directory processing: The FROMDATE parameter does not apply to

directories. All directories in a file space are processed even if the directories
were not backed up in the specified date range.
Important: If you have group data on the node that you are exporting, data
that was backed up before the designated FROMDATE and FROMTIME can
also be exported. Group data on the node is, for example, virtual machine data
or system state backup data. This export is a result of incremental backup
processing for the data. The incremental backup processing can cause extra
files that do not meet the filtering criteria to be exported, so that there is a
consistent image for the backup data.
Use one of the following values to specify the date:

This Month)
If this parameter is not specified, Tivoli Storage Manager exports all objects
stored before the TODATE parameter and as qualified by the FILEDATA
parameter. If no TODATE parameter is specified, then all data as qualified by
the FILEDATA parameter is exported.
When a server-to-server export operation uses a relative FROMDATE, for
example, TODAY-1, and the operation is restarted at a later date, the restarted
process still uses the date that was used during the original operation. For
example, if a server-to-server export operation is started on 07/04/2009 and
the FROMDATE is specified as TODAY-1, the date that is used for selecting
files is 07/03/2009. If this same export operation is suspended and restarted
ten days later (07/14/2009), the date that is used for selecting files is still
07/03/2009. This behavior ensures that the entire export operation uses the
same cutoff date for selecting files to export.
TODate
Specifies the latest date for files to be exported from the server. Files stored on
the server on a date later than the TODATE value are not exported. TODATE
only applies to client file data and does not affect other information that is
being exported, such as policy.
v Tivoli Storage Manager ignores the TODATE parameter when the FILEDATA
parameter is set to NONE.
v If a TODATE parameter is specified without a TOTIME parameter, the server
exports all objects inserted on or before the day specified by the TODATE
parameter.
v If you specified the FROMDATE parameter, the value of TODATE must be
later than or equal to the FROMDATE value. If the TODATE and
FROMDATE are equal, then the TOTIME parameter must be later that the
FROMTIME parameter.
v The TODATE parameter does not apply to directories. All directories in a file
space are processed even if the directories were not backed up in the
specified date range.

month.

When a server-to-server export operation uses a relative TODATE, for example,
TODAY-1, and the operation is restarted at a later date, the restarted process
still uses the date that was used during the original operation. For example, if
a server-to-server export operation is started on 07/04/2009 and the TODATE
is specified as TODAY-1, the date that is used for selecting files is 07/03/2009.

(07/14/2009), the date that is used for selecting files is still 07/03/2009. This
behavior ensures that the entire export operation uses the same cutoff date for
selecting files to export.
FROMTime
Specifies the earliest time for which objects to be exported were stored on the
server. When you specify FROMTIME, you must also use the FROMDATE
parameter. This parameter only applies to client file data. This parameter does
not affect other information that might be exported, for example, policy.
Objects that were stored on the server before the specified time and date are
not exported. Tivoli Storage Manager ignores the FROMTIME parameter when

The default value for this parameter when used with the FROMDATE
parameter is midnight (00:00:00).
Use one of the following values to specify the time:

or +HH:MM minutes specified. The
FROMTIME+ can only be used If you issue this command at 5:00 with
with a FROMDATE before FROMTIME=NOW+02:00 or
today. FROMTIME=+02:00, the export
operation only contains files that were
put on the server after 7:00 on the
FROMDATE that you specify.
NOW-HH:MM The current time minus hours NOW–02:00 or –02:00.
FROMTIME=NOW–02:00 or
FROMTIME=–2:00, the export includes
files that were put on the server after
3:00.
TOTime
Specifies the latest time that objects to be exported were stored on the server.
You must specify the TODATE parameter in order to use the TOTIME
parameter. TOTIME only applies to client file data and does not affect other
information that is being exported, such as policy. Tivoli Storage Manager
ignores the TOTIME parameter if the FILEDATA parameter is set to NONE.
The default value for this parameter, when used with the TODATE parameter,
is midnight minus one second (23:59:59).
Important: The value of the TOTIME and TODATE parameters must be later
than the FROMDATE and the FROMTIME value.

ALLOWSHREDdable
Specifies whether data from a storage pool that enforces shredding is exported.
This parameter supports the following values:
No Specifies that data is not exported from a storage pool that enforces
shredding.
Yes
Specifies that data can be exported from a storage pool that enforces
shredding. The data on the export media is not shredded.
Example: Export client node information to specific tape volumes

EXPORT NODE (Export node definitions or file data directly to
another server)
Use this command to export client node definitions or file data directly to another
server for immediate import.
Important: You cannot export nodes of type NAS. Export processing will exclude
these nodes.
You can suspend and subsequently restart a server-to-server export operation that
has a FILEDATA value other than NONE. The server saves the state and status of
the export operation so that it may be restarted from the point at which the
operation failed or was suspended. The export operation can be restarted at a later
date by issuing the RESTART EXPORT command.
Important: An export operation is suspended when any of the following

conditions are detected:
v A SUSPEND EXPORT command is issued for the running export operation
v Segment preemption - the file being read for export is deleted by some other
process
v Communication errors on a server-to-server export
v No available mount points
v Necessary volumes are unavailable
v I/O errors encountered
Issue the QUERY EXPORT command to display information on any running and
suspended export operations.
The export operation cannot be restarted if the export operation fails prior to
transmitting the eligible node and file space definitions to the target server. You
must reenter the command to begin a new export operation.
You can issue a QUERY PROCESS command from the target server to monitor the
progress of the import operation. Issue the QUERY EXPORT command to list all
restartable server-to-server export operations.

EXPORT POLICY (Export policy information)
Use this command to export policy information from a Tivoli Storage Manager
server to sequential media or directly to another server for immediate import.
Important:
v If target and source server levels are not compatible, the export operation might
not work. See the Administrator's Guide for server compatibility requirements.

v Policy domain definitions
v Policy set definitions, including the active policy set
v Management class definitions, including the default management class
v Backup copy group and archive copy group definitions
v Schedule definitions for each policy domain
v Client node associations, if the client node exists on the target server
Restriction: When a policy is exported by using the EXPORT POLICY command, the
active data pool information in the domain is not exported.
You can use the QUERY ACTLOG command to view the status of the export operation.
CANCEL PROCESS command. If you export policy information to sequential media
and the background process is canceled, the sequential media that is holding the
exported data is incomplete and must not be used to import data. If a

EXPORT SERVER (Export server information)
Use this command to export all or part of the server control information and client
file data (if specified) from the server to sequential media.
When you export server information to sequential media, you can later use the
media to import the information to another server with a compatible device type.
Important: For commands that import administrators or nodes, you must consider
update the password. After issuing the IMPORT command, set the password by

work.
For information about server compatibility requirements, see the Administrator's
Guide.
You also have the option of processing an export operation directly to another
server on the network. This results in an immediate import process without the
need for compatible sequential device types between the two servers.
You can export the following types of server information by issuing the EXPORT
SERVER command:
v Policy domain definitions
v Policy set definitions
v Management class and copy group definitions
v Schedules defined for each policy domain
v Administrator definitions
v Client node definitions
You can optionally export the following types of data:

v File space definitions
v Access authorization information that pertains to the file spaces exported
v Backed-up, archived, and files that were migrated by a Tivoli Storage Manager
for Space Management client
You cannot export nodes of type NAS. Export processing excludes these nodes.
This command generates a background process that can be canceled by the CANCEL
PROCESS command. If you export server information to sequential media, and the
background process is canceled, the sequential media holding the exported data
are incomplete and should not be used for importing data. If a server-to-server
export background process is canceled, a partial import might result. Evaluate any
imported data on the target server to determine whether you want to keep or
delete the imported data. Review the import messages for details.

Issue the QUERY PROCESS command from the target server to monitor the progress
of the import operation. Issue the QUERY EXPORT command to list all
server-to-server export operations (that have a FILEDATA value other than NONE)
that are running or suspended.
You can use the QUERY ACTLOG command to view the actual status information
which indicates the size and the success or failure of the export operation.

EXPORT SERVER (Export server control information and client
file data to another server)
Use this command to export all or part of the server control information and client
file data directly to another server on the network. This results in an immediate
import on the target server.
Server-to-server export operations that have a FILEDATA value other than NONE
can be restarted after the operation is suspended. The server saves the state and
status of the export operation so that it may be restarted from the point at which
the operation failed or was suspended. The export operation can be restarted at a
later date by issuing the RESTART EXPORT command. These export operations can be
manually suspended as well as restarted. Therefore, if an export fails, it is
automatically suspended if it has completed the transmitting definitions phase.
An export operation is suspended when any of the following conditions is

detected:
process
The export operation cannot be restarted if the export operation fails prior to
transmitting the eligible node and filespace definitions to the target server. You
must reenter the command to begin a new export operation.
Issue the QUERY PROCESS command from the target server to monitor the progress
of the import operation. Issue the QUERY EXPORT command to list all
server-to-server export operations (that have a FILEDATA value other than NONE)
that are running or suspended.

shredded.
Important: After an export operation finishes identifying files for export, any
changes to the storage pool ALLOWSHREDABLE value is ignored. An export
operation that is suspended retains the original ALLOWSHREDABLE value
throughout the operation. You might want to consider cancelling your export
operation if changes to the storage pool ALLOWSHREDABLE value jeopardize
the operation. You can reissue the export command after any needed cleanup.
EXPORTIDentifier
This optional parameter specifies the name that you selected to identify this
export operation. If you do not specify a command name, the server generates
one for you. The export identifier name cannot be more than 64 characters,
cannot contain wildcard characters, and is not case sensitive. You can use the
identifier name to reference export operations in the QUERY EXPORT, SUSPEND
EXPORT, RESTART EXPORT, or CANCEL EXPORT commands. EXPORTIDENTIFIER is
ignored if FILEDATA=NONE or if PREVIEWIMPORT=YES.
If you are specifying the EXPORTIDENTIFIER parameter, you must specify the
TOSERVER parameter.
Example: Export server information directly to another server
To export server information directly to SERVERB, issue the following command.

EXTEND DBSPACE (Increase space for the database)
Use this command to increase space for the database by adding directories for the
database to use.
Privilege class
privilege.
When you issue the EXTEND DBSPACE command, directories are added to the
database. With the default parameter settings, data is redistributed across all
database directories, and storage space is reclaimed. This action improves parallel
I/O performance and makes the new directory space available for immediate use.
If you do not want to redistribute data when you add new directories, you can
specify RECLAIMSTORAGE=NO. If you specify No for this parameter, all space in
existing directories is filled before new directories are used. You can redistribute
data and reclaim space later, but you must complete the manual procedure for this
task by using DB2 commands.
For more information, see the Administrator's Guide.
Restriction: Redistribution of data and reclaiming of space as part of an operation

to extend database space works only with DB2 Version 9.7 or later table spaces.
The table spaces are created when you format a new Tivoli Storage Manager
Version 6.2 or later server. If you upgraded or restored your Tivoli Storage
Manager server from V6.1, you cannot redistribute data or reclaim space. You must
issue the EXTEND DBSPACE command with RECLAIMSTORAGE=NO.
Important: The redistribution process uses considerable system resources, so

ensure that you plan ahead when you want to add space to the database. Review
the following guidelines:
v Complete the process when the server is not handling a heavy workload.
v The time that is required to redistribute data and reclaim space might vary. It is
affected by factors such as the file system layout, the ratio of new paths to
existing storage paths, server hardware, and concurrent operations. To get a
rough estimate, you can try the operation with a small Tivoli Storage Manager
database on a lab system. Use your results as a reference to estimate the time
that is required for the procedure.
v Do not interrupt the redistribution process. If you try to stop it, for example, by
halting the process that is completing the work, you must stop and restart the
DB2 server. When the server is restarted, it will go into crash recovery mode,
which takes several minutes, after which the redistribution process resumes.
When you add directories to the database, ensure that you follow best practices.
For more information, see the Optimizing Performance guide.
After an operation to extend the database space is complete, halt and restart the
server to fully use the new directories. If the existing database directories are
nearly full when a new directory is added, the server might encounter an out of
space condition (reported in the db2diag.log). You can fix the out of space
condition by halting and restarting the server.

Parameters
db_directory (Required)
Specifies the directories for database storage. The directories must be empty
and accessible by the user ID of the database manager. A directory name must
be a fully qualified name and cannot exceed 175 characters in length. Enclose
the name in quotation marks if it contains embedded blanks, an equal sign, or
other special characters. If you are specifying a list of directories for database
storage, the maximum length of the list can be 1400 characters.
REClaimstorage
Specifies whether data is redistributed across newly created database
directories and space is reclaimed from the old storage paths. This parameter is
optional. The default value is Yes.
Unless you specify WAIT=YES, the operation is completed as a background
process.
Yes
Specifies that data is redistributed so that new directories are available for
immediate use.
Important: The redistribution process uses considerable system resources

so ensure that you plan ahead.
After the process starts, messages are issued to inform you about the
progress. You can use the QUERY PROCESS command to monitor the
operation. To cancel the process, you can use the CANCEL PROCESS
command, but if a data redistribution operation is in progress, it completes
before the process is stopped.
No Specifies that data is not redistributed across database directories and
storage space is not reclaimed when space is added for the database.
Wait
Specifies whether this command is processed in the background or foreground.
No Specifies background processing. The default is NO.
Yes
Specifies foreground processing.
You cannot specify YES from the server console.
Example: Add directories to the storage space for the database,
redistribute data, and reclaim storage
Add two directories (/tsm_db/stg1 and tsm_db/stg2) under the /tsm_db directory
to the storage space for the database. Issue the command:

GENERATE commands
Use the GENERATE commands for backup sets for a selected filespace or client node.

data)” on page 533
v “GENERATE BACKUPSETTOC (Generate a table of contents for a backup set)”
on page 542
GENERATE BACKUPSET (Generate a backup set of
Backup-Archive Client data)
Use this command to generate a backup set for a Backup-Archive Client node. A
backup set is a collection of a Backup-Archive Client's active backed up data, which
is stored and managed as a single object, on specific media, in server storage.
Although you can create a backup set for any client node, a backup set can be
used only by a Backup-Archive Client.
Restriction: A backup set in “deduplication format” has that designation as a

result of a GENERATE BACKUPSET command with at least one of the following
specifications:
v Includes a node at Backup-Archive Client Version 6.1.x (at least V6.1.0 but less
than V6.2.0).
v Includes a node that has one or mode nodes that are authorized to act as a
proxy. At least one of those proxy nodes is at Backup-Archive Client V6.1.x.
Backup sets in the deduplication format can be restored only by the V6.1.2 or later
Backup-Archive Client. Backup-Archive Clients before V6.1.2 cannot restore from a
backup set that is in the deduplication format.
A backup set in the “distributed deduplication format” has that designation as a

result of a GENERATE BACKUPSET command with at least one of the following
specifications:
v Includes a node at Backup-Archive Client level V6.2.0 or later.
v Includes a node that has one or mode nodes that are authorized to act as a
proxy. At least one of those proxy nodes is at Backup-Archive Client V6.2.0.
Backup sets in the distributed deduplication format can be restored only by the
V6.2.0 or later Backup-Archive Client.
Restriction: You cannot generate a backup set with files that were backed up to
Tivoli Storage Manager using NDMP. However, you can create a backup set with
files that were backed up using NetApp SnapShot Difference.
The server creates copies of active versions of a client's backed up objects that are
within the one-or-more file spaces specified with this command. The server then
consolidates them onto sequential media. Currently, the backup object types that
are supported for backup sets include directories and files only.
The backup-archive client node can restore its backup set from the server and from
the media to which the backup set was written.
CANCEL PROCESS command. If the background process created by this command is
canceled, the media might not contain a complete backup set. You can use the
QUERY PROCESS command to show information about the background process that is
created by this command.
Tip: When Tivoli Storage Manager generates a backup set, you can improve
performance if the primary storage pools containing the client data are collocated.
If a primary storage pool is collocated, client node data is likely to be on fewer
tape volumes than it would be if the storage pool were not collocated. With
collocation, less time is spent searching database entries, and fewer mount
operations are required.

Privilege class
To issue this command, you must have system privilege or policy privilege for the
domain to which the client node is assigned.

Parameters
Specifies the name of the client node and node groups whose data is contained
in the backup set. To specify multiple node names and node group names,
separate the names with commas and no intervening spaces. You can use
wildcard characters with node names but not with node group names. When
multiple node names are specified, the server generates a backup set for each
node and places all of the backup sets together on a single set of output
volumes.
backup_set_name_prefix (Required)
Specifies the name of the backup set for the client node. The maximum length
of the name is 30 characters.
When you select a name, Tivoli Storage Manager adds a suffix to construct
your backup set name. For example, if you name your backup set mybackupset,
Tivoli Storage Manager adds a unique number such as 3099 to the name. The
backup set name is then identified to Tivoli Storage Manager as
mybackupset.3099. To later show information about this backup set, you can
include a wildcard with the name, such as mybackupset.* or specify the fully
qualified name, such as mybackupset.3099.
When multiple node names or node group names are specified, the server
generates a backup set for each node or node group and places all the backup
sets on a single set of output volumes. Each backup set is given the same fully
qualified name consisting of the backup_set_name_prefix and a suffix determined
by the server.
file_space_name
Specifies the names of one or more file spaces that contain the data to be
included in the backup set. This parameter is optional. The file space name
that you specify can contain wildcard characters. You can specify more than
one file space by separating the names with commas and no intervening
spaces. If you do not specify a file space, data from all the client nodes
backed-up and active file spaces is included in the backup set.
For a server that has clients with support for Unicode-enabled file spaces, you
can enter either a file space name or a file space ID (FSID). If you enter a file
space name, you might need to have the server convert the file space name
that you enter. For example, you might need to have the server convert the
name that you enter from the server's code page to Unicode. See the
NAMETYPE parameter for details. If you do not specify a file space name, or
specify only a single wildcard character for the name, you can use the
CODETYPE parameter to limit the operation to Unicode file spaces or to
non-Unicode file spaces.

DEVclass (Required)
Specifies the name of the device class for the volumes to which the backup set
is written. The maximum length of the name is 30 characters.
Restriction: You cannot specify a device class with a device type of NAS or
CENTERA.
SCRatch
Specifies whether to use scratch volumes for the backup set. If you include a
list of volumes using the VOLUMES parameter, the server uses scratch
volumes only if the data cannot be contained in the volumes you specify. The
default is SCRATCH=YES. The values are:
YES
Specifies to use scratch volumes for the backup set.
NO Specifies not to use scratch volumes for the backup set.
VOLumes
Specifies the names of one or more volumes that will contain the backup set.
This parameter is optional. You can specify more than one volume by
separating each volume with a comma, with no intervening spaces.
If you do not specify this parameter, scratch volumes are used for the backup
set.
RETention
Specifies the number of days to retain the backup set on the server. You can
specify an integer from 0 to 30000. The default is 365 days. The values are:
days
Specifies the number of days to retain the backup set on the server.
NOLimit
Specifies that the backup set should be retained on the server indefinitely.
If you specify NOLIMIT, the server retains the volumes containing the
backup set forever, unless a user or administrator deletes the volumes from
server storage.
DESCription
Specifies the description to associate with the backup set. This parameter is
optional. The maximum length of the description is 255 characters. Enclose the
Wait
in the foreground. This parameter is optional. The default is NO. The values
are:
Yes
Specifies the command processes in the foreground. Messages that are
created are not displayed until the command completes processing. You
cannot specify WAIT=YES from the server console.
No Specifies that the command processes in the background. Use the QUERY
PROCESS command to monitor the background processing of this command.
NAMEType
Unicode-enabled file spaces. You can use this parameter for Tivoli Storage
Manager clients using Windows, NetWare, or Macintosh OS X operating
systems.
name. The default value is SERVER. Possible values are:
SERVER
UNIcode
The server converts the file space name that is entered from the server
code page to the UTF-8 code page. The success of the conversion depends
on the actual characters in the name and the server's code page.
Conversion can fail if the string includes characters that are not available
in the server code page, or if the server has a problem accessing system
conversion routines.
FSID
Important: Use care when specifying this parameter if multiple node

names are also specified. Different nodes might use the same file space ID
for different file spaces, or different file space IDs for the same file space
name. Therefore, specifying a file space ID as the file space names can
result in the wrong data being written to the backup set for some nodes.
CODEType
space name or when you do not specify any file space names. Possible values
are:
UNIcode
Include only file spaces that are in Unicode.
NONUNIcode
Include only file spaces that are not in Unicode.
BOTH
PITDate
Specifies that files that were active on the specified date and that are still
stored on the Tivoli Storage Manager server are to be included in the backup
set, even if they are inactive at the time you issue the command. This
parameter is optional. The default is the date on which the GENERATE BACKUPSET
command is run. You can specify the date using one of the following values:

TODAY-daysor-days The current date minus days TODAY-7 or -7.

PITTime
Specifies that files that were active on the specified time and that are still
stored on the Tivoli Storage Manager server are to be included in the backup
set, even if they are inactive at the time you issue the command. This
parameter is optional. IF a PITDate was specified, the default is midnight
(00:00:00); otherwise the default is the time at which the GENERATE BACKUPSET
command is started. You can specify the time using one of the following
values:

specified PIT date
NOW The current date on the NOW
specified PIT date
NOW+HH:MM or The current time plus hours NOW+03:00 or +03:00
+HH:MM and minutes on the
specified PIT date If you issue this command at 9:00
with PITTIME=NOW+03:00 or
PITTIME=+03:00. Tivoli Storage
Manager includes files that were
active at 12:00 on the PIT date.
DATAType
Specifies that backup sets containing the specified types of data that are to be
generated. This parameter is optional. The default is that file level backup sets
are to be generated. To specify multiple data types, separate data types with
commas and no intervening spaces.
The server generates a backup set for each data type and places all the backup
sets on a single set of output volumes. Each backup set is given the same fully
qualified name consisting of the backup_set_name_prefix and a suffix determined
by the server. However, each backup set has a different data type, as shown by
the QUERY BACKUPSET command. Possible values are:
ALL
application) that have been backed up on the server are to be generated.
FILE
Specifies that a file level backup set is to be generated. File level backup
sets contain files and directories that are backed up by the backup client. If
no files or directories have been backed up by the backup client, a file level
backup set is not generated. This is the default.
IMAGE
Specifies that an image backup set is to be generated. Image backup sets
contain images that are created by the backup client BACKUP IMAGE
command. Image backup sets are generated only if an image has been
backed up by the backup client.
TOC
Specifies whether a table of contents (TOC) is saved for each file level backup
set. Tables of contents are always saved for backup sets containing image or
application data. The TOC parameter is ignored when generating image and
application backup sets. A table of contents will always be generated for image
and application backup sets.
Consider the following in determining whether you want to save a table of
contents:
v If a table of contents is saved for a backup set, you can use the Tivoli
Storage Manager Web backup-archive client to examine the entire file system
tree and choose files and directories to restore. To create a table of contents,
you must define the TOCDESTINATION attribute in the backup copy group
for the management class that is specified by the TOCMGMTCLASS parameter.
Creating a table of contents requires additional processing, storage pool
space, and possibly a mount point during the backup set operation.
v If a table of contents is not saved for a backup set, you can still restore
individual files or directory trees using the backup-archive client RESTORE
BACKUPSET command, if you know the fully qualified name of each file or
directory to be restored.
To display the contents of backup sets, you can also use the QUERY
BACKUPSETCONTENTS command.
This parameter is optional. Possible values are:
No Specifies that table of contents information is not saved for file level
backup sets.
Preferred
Specifies that table of contents information should be saved for file level
backup sets. This is the default. However, a backup set does not fail just
because an error occurs during creation of the table of contents.
Yes
level backup set. A backup set fails if an error occurs during creation of the
table of contents.
TOCMGmtclass
should be bound. If you do not specify a management class, the table of
contents is bound to the default management class for the policy domain to
which the node is assigned. In this case, creation of a table of contents requires
that you define the TOCDESTINATION attribute in the backup copy group for
the specified management class.
ALLOWSHREDdable
Specifies whether data from a storage pool that enforces shredding is included
in the backup set. This parameter is optional. Possible values are:

No Specifies that data from a storage pool that enforces shredding is not
included in the backup set. This is the default.
Yes
Specifies that data from a storage pool that enforces shredding can be
included in the backup set. The data on the backup set media will not be
shredded.
Example: Generate a backup set for a file space
Generate a backup set of a file space that is called /srvr that belongs to client node
JANE. Name the backup set PERS_DATA and retain it for 75 days. Specify that
volumes VOL1 and VOL2 contain the data for the backup set. The volumes are to
be read by a device that is assigned to the AGADM device class. Include a

GENERATE BACKUPSETTOC (Generate a table of contents for
a backup set)
Use this command to generate a table of contents for a backup set that does not
already have one. The backup-archive client uses the table of contents to display
the backup set, which allows users to select individual files to be restored from the
backup set.
Creating a table of contents for a backup set requires storage pool space and
possibly one or more mount points during the creation operation.

a list of client node names.
Specifies the name of the backup set for the client node. You cannot use
wildcard characters to specify a name, nor can you specify a list of backup set
names.
DATAType
Specifies the type of data to be included in the table of contents. This
parameter is optional. By default, all data is included. To specify multiple data
types, separate the data types with commas and no intervening spaces.
ALL
Specifies that the table of contents includes all types of data (file-level,
image, and application) stored in the backup set. This is the default.
FILE
Specifies that the table of contents includes only file-level data. File-level
data consists of files and directories backed up by the backup-archive
client. If the backup set contains no files or directories, the table of contents
is not generated.
IMAGE
Specifies that the table of contents will include only image backups. Image
backups consist of file system images created by the backup client BACKUP
IMAGE command. If the backup set contains no image backups, the table of
contents will not be generated.
TOCMGmtclass
should be bound. If you do not specify a management class, the table of
contents is bound to the default management class for the policy domain to
which the node is assigned. If you create a table of contents you must define
the TOCDESTINATION attribute in the backup copy group for the specified
management class.
Example: Generate a table of contents
Generate a table of contents for a backup set named PROJX_DATA that contains
the data for client node GARY. The table of contents is to be bound to the default
management class.

Notes:
1 You must specify one or more of these parameters.
Parameters
admin_name (Required)
Specifies the name of the administrator being granted an administrative
privilege class.
CLasses
Specifies one or more privilege classes to grant to an administrator. This
parameter is required, except when you specify the STGPOOLS parameter. You
can specify more than one privilege class by separating each with a comma.
Possible classes are:
SYstem
Specifies that you want to grant system privilege to an administrator. A
system administrator has the highest level of authority in Tivoli Storage
Manager. A system administrator can issue any administrative command

and has authority to manage all policy domains and all storage pools. Do
not specify additional privilege classes or the DOMAINS or STGPOOLS
parameters when granting system privilege to an administrator. Only a
system administrator can grant authority to other administrators.
Policy
Specifies that you want to grant policy privilege to an administrator. If you
do not specify the DOMAINS parameter, unrestricted policy privilege is
granted. An unrestricted policy administrator can issue commands that
affect all existing policy domains as well as any policy domains that are
defined in the future. An unrestricted policy administrator cannot define,
delete, or copy policy domains. Use the GRANT AUTHORITY command with
CLASSES=POLICY and no DOMAINS parameter to upgrade a restricted
policy administrator to an unrestricted policy administrator.
STorage
Specifies that you want to grant storage privilege to an administrator. If the
STGPOOLS parameter is not specified, unrestricted storage privilege is
granted. An unrestricted storage administrator can issue all commands that
allocate and control storage resources for the server. An unrestricted
storage administrator can issue commands that affect all existing storage
pools as well as any storage pools that are defined in the future. An
unrestricted storage administrator cannot define or delete storage pools.
Using the GRANT AUTHORITY command with CLASSES=STORAGE and no
STGPOOLS parameter upgrades a restricted storage administrator to an
unrestricted storage administrator.
Operator
Specifies that you want to grant operator privilege to an administrator. An
administrator with operator privilege can issue commands that control the
immediate operation of the server and the availability of storage media.
Node
Specifies that you want to grant a node privilege to a user. A user with
client node privilege can remotely access a web backup-archive client with
an administrative user ID and password if they have been given owner
authority or access authority. Access authority is the default for a node
privilege class.
Attention: When you specify the node privilege class, you must also
specify either the DOMAIN parameter or the NODE parameter, but not
both.
AUTHority
Specifies the authority level of a user with node privilege. This
If an administrator already has system or policy privilege to the policy
domain to which the node belongs, this command will not change the
administrator's privilege. Possible authority levels are:
Access
Specifies that you want to grant client access authority to a user
with the node privilege class. This is the default when
CLASSES=NODE is specified. A user with client access authority
can access a web backup-archive client and perform backup and
restore actions on that client.
Attention: A user with client access authority cannot access that
client from another system by using the -NODENAME or
-VIRTUALNODENAME parameter.
A client node can set the REVOKEREMOTEACCESS option to restrict a

user that has node privilege with client access authority from
accessing a client workstation that is running a web client. This
option does not apply to administrators with client owner
authority, system privilege, or policy privilege to the policy domain
to which the node belongs.
Owner
Specifies that you want to grant client owner authority to a user
with the node privilege class. A user with client owner authority
can access a web backup-archive client through the web client
interface and also access their data from another client using the
-NODENAME or -VIRTUALNODENAME parameter.
DOmains
Specifies that you want to grant to the administrator client access or
client owner authority to all clients in the specified policy domain. You
cannot use this parameter together with the NODE parameter.
NOde
Specifies that you want to grant the administrator client access or client
owner authority to the node. You cannot use this parameter together
with the DOMAIN parameter.
DOmains
When used with CLASSES=POLICY, specifies that you want to grant restricted
policy privilege to an administrator.
Restricted policy privilege permits an administrator to issue a subset of the
policy commands for the domains to which the administrator is authorized.
You can use this parameter to grant additional policy domain authority to a
restricted policy administrator. This parameter is optional. You can specify
more than one policy domain by delimiting each policy domain name with a
comma.
You can use wildcard characters to specify a name. Authority for all matching
policy domains is granted.
STGpools
Specifies that you want to grant restricted storage privilege to an administrator.
If the STGPOOLS parameter is specified, then CLASSES=STORAGE is optional.
Restricted storage privilege permits you to issue a subset of the storage
commands for the storage pools to which the administrator is authorized. You
can use this parameter to grant additional storage pool authority to a restricted
storage administrator. This parameter is optional. You can specify more than
one storage pool by delimiting each storage pool name with a comma.
You can use wildcard characters to specify a name. Authority for all matching
storage pools is granted.
Example: Grant system privilege to an administrator
Grant system privilege to administrator Larry.

grant authority larry classes=system

Example: Grant access to additional policy domains
Specify additional policy domains that the restricted policy administrator

CLAUDIA can manage.

HALT (Shut down the server)
Use this command to shut down the server. The HALT command forces an abrupt
shutdown, which cancels all the administrative and client node sessions even if
they are not completed.
Any transactions in progress interrupted by the HALT command are rolled back
when you restart the server. Use the HALT command only after the administrative
and client node sessions are completed or canceled. To shut down the server
without severely impacting administrative and client node sessions, perform the
following steps:
1. Use the DISABLE SESSIONS command to prevent starting new client node
sessions.
2. Use the QUERY SESSIONS command to identify any existing administrative and
client node sessions.
3. Notify any existing administrative and client node sessions that you plan to
shut down the server (you must do this outside of Tivoli Storage Manager).
4. Use the CANCEL SESSIONS command to cancel any existing administrative or
client node sessions.
5. Issue the HALT command to shut down the server and stop any administrative
and client node sessions.
Tip:
The HALT command can be replicated using the ALIASHALT server option. Use the
server option to define a term other than HALT that performs the same function.
The HALT command retains its normal function however, the server option provides
an additional method for issuing the HALT command. See “ALIASHALT” on page
1457 for additional information.

IDENTIFY DUPLICATES (Identify duplicate data in a storage pool)
Use this command to start or stop processes that identify duplicate data in a
storage pool. You can specify the number of duplicate-identification processes and
their duration.
When you create a new storage pool for data deduplication, you can specify 0 - 50
duplicate-identification processes. Tivoli Storage Manager starts the specified
number of duplicate-identification processes automatically when the server is
started. If you do not stop them, they run indefinitely.
This command affects only server-side deduplication processing. In client-side data

deduplication processing, duplicates are identified on the backup-archive client.
With the IDENTIFY DUPLICATES command, you can start more processes, stop some
or all of the processes, and specify an amount of time that the change remains in
effect. If you increased or decreased the number of duplicate-identification
processes, you can use the IDENTIFY DUPLICATES command to reset the number of
processes to the number that is specified in the storage pool definition.
If you did not specify any duplicate-identification processes in the storage pool
definition, you can use the IDENTIFY DUPLICATES command to start and stop all
processes manually.
This command starts or stops a background process or processes that you can
cancel with the CANCEL PROCESS command. To display information about
Important:
v You can also change the number of duplicate-identification processes by
updating the storage pool definition by using the UPDATE STGPOOL command.
However, when you update a storage pool definition, you cannot specify a
duration. The processes that you specify in the storage pool definition run
indefinitely, or until you issue the IDENTIFY DUPLICATES command, update the
storage pool definition again, or cancel a process.
Issuing the IDENTIFY DUPLICATES does not change the setting for the number of
duplicate-identification processes in the storage pool definition.
v Duplicate-identification processes can be either active or idle. Processes that are
deduplicating files are active. Processes that are waiting for files to deduplicate
are idle. Processes remain idle until volumes with data to be deduplicated
become available. Processes stop only when canceled or when you change the
number of duplicate-identification processes for the storage pool to a value less
than what is specified. Before a duplicate-identification process stops, it must
finish the file that it is deduplicating.
The output of the QUERY PROCESS command for a duplicate-identification process
includes the total number of bytes and files that have been processed since the
process first started. For example, if a duplicate-identification process processes
four files, becomes idle, and then processes five more files, then the total number
of files that are processed is nine.
Privilege class
Syntax
IDentify DUPlicates stgpool_name
NUMPRocess = number

DURation = minutes
Parameters
stgpool_name (Required)
Specifies the storage pool name in which duplicate data is to be identified. You
can use wildcards.
NUMPRocess
Specifies the number of duplicate-identification processes to run after the
command completes. You can specify 0 - 50 processes. The value that you
specify for this parameter overrides the value that you specified in the storage
pool definition or the most recent value that was specified when you last
issued this command. If you specify zero, all duplicate-identification processes
stop.
This parameter is optional. If you do not specify a value, the Tivoli Storage
Manager server starts or stops duplicate-identification processes so that the
number of processes is the same as the number that is specified in the storage
pool definition.
For example, suppose that you define a new storage pool and specify two
duplicate-identification processes. Later, you issue the IDENTIFY DUPLICATES
command to increase the number of processes to four. When you issue the
IDENTIFY DUPLICATES command again without specifying a value for the
NUMPROCESS parameter, the server stops two duplicate-identification processes.
If you specified 0 processes when you defined the storage pool definition and
you issue IDENTIFY DUPLICATES without specifying a value for NUMPROCESS, any
running duplicate-identification processes stop, and the server does not start
any new processes.
Remember: When you issue IDENTIFY DUPLICATES without specifying a value

for NUMPROCESS, the DURATION parameter is not available. Duplicate-
identification processes specified in the storage pool definition run indefinitely,
or until you reissue the IDENTIFY DUPLICATES command, update the storage
pool definition, or cancel a process.
When the server stops a duplicate-identification process, the process completes
the current physical file and then stops. As a result, it might take several
minutes to reach the number of duplicate-identification processes that you
specified as a value for this parameter.
DURation
Specifies the maximum number of minutes (1 - 9999) that this command
remains in effect. At the end of the specified time, the Tivoli Storage Manager
server starts or stops duplicate-identification processes so that the number of
processes is the same as the number that is specified in the storage pool
definition.

This parameter is optional. If you do not specify a value, the processes that are
running after the command is issued run indefinitely. They end only if you
reissue the IDENTIFY DUPLICATES command, update the storage pool definition,
or cancel a process.
For example, if you define a storage pool with two duplicate-identification
processes and you issue the IDENTIFY DUPLICATES command with DURATION=60
and NUMPROCESS=4, the server starts two more duplicate-identification processes
that run for 60 minutes. At the end of that time, two processes finish the files
that they are working on and stop. The two processes that stop might not be
the same two processes that started as a result of issuing this command.
The Tivoli Storage Manager server stops idle processes first. If after stopping
all idle processes, more processes need to be stopped, the Tivoli Storage
Manager server notifies active processes to stop.
When the server stops a duplicate-identification process, the process completes
the current physical file and then stops. As a result, it might take several
minutes to reach the amount of time that you specified as a value for this
parameter.
Example: Controlling the number and duration of

duplicate-identification processes
In this example, you specified three duplicate-identification processes in the

storage pool definition. You use the IDENTIFY DUPLICATES command to change the
number of processes and to specify the amount of time the change is to remain in
effect.

Important:
1. Existing file spaces are not replaced. New file spaces are created when
identical names are encountered. However, this new name might match an
existing name on the client node, which can have file spaces that are not
yet backed up to the server.
2. This parameter is only specified for non-Unicode file spaces. To import all
file spaces that are both Unicode and non-Unicode, use the
FILEDATA=ALL parameter without the FILESPACE and UNIFILESPACE
parameters.
DOmains
Specifies the policy domains from which to import node information. These
domains must be included in the data that was exported. This parameter is
optional. The default is all domains that were exported.
wildcard characters to specify a name.
FILEData
Specifies the type of files that can be imported for all nodes that are specified
and found on the export media. This parameter is optional. The default value
is NONE.
If you are importing from sequential media, the device class that is used by the
file data is determined by the device class for the storage pool. If it is the same
device class that is specified in this command, two drives are needed to import
the node information. The mount limit for the device class must be at least 2.
The following descriptions mention active and inactive backup file copies. An
active backup file copy is the most recent backup copy for a file that still exists
on the client workstation. All other backup file copies are called inactive
copies. The parameter supports the following values:
ALl
The server imports all backup versions of files, all archived files, and all
files that were migrated by a Tivoli Storage Manager for Space
Management client. The file spaces that are included are both Unicode and
non-Unicode.
None
Only node definitions are imported. The server does not import any files.
ARchive
The server imports only archived files.

Backup
The server imports only backup versions, whether active or inactive.
BACKUPActive
The server imports only active backup versions. These active backup
the time that the IMPORT command is issued.
ALLActive
The server imports all active backup versions of files, all archived files, and
the Tivoli Storage Manager database at the time that the IMPORT command
is issued.
SPacemanaged
The server imports only files that were migrated by a Tivoli Storage
Preview
Specifies whether to preview the results of the import operation, without
importing information. The PREVIEW=YES option requires that you mount the
export volumes. The following values are supported:
No Specifies that the node information is to be imported.
Yes
Specifies that you want to preview the results of the import operation,
without importing files. Information is reported to the server console and
the activity log.

DEVclass (Required)
Specifies the device class from which import data is to be read. You cannot
specify the DISK, NAS, or CENTERA device classes.
If all drives for the device class are busy when the import runs, the server
cancels lower priority operations, such as identify duplicates, to make a drive
available.
Dates
Specifies whether the dates for the file copies are set as the same date when
the files were exported, or is adjusted to the import date.
Absolute
The dates for file copies are set to the values specified when the files were
exported.
Relative
The dates for file copies are adjusted to the import date.
The default value is ABSOLUTE.

If the export media is idle for some time after export, for example; if it is
sitting on a shelf for six months, the original backup, or archive dates might be
old enough to trigger the file copies to expire immediately when the data is
imported into a server. The RELATIVE specification for this value adjusts for
time that is elapsed since export so that the file copies are not immediately
expired.
For example, assume that an export tape contains an archive file copy that was
archived five days before the export operation. If the media is saved for six
months and then imported, the archive file look like it is inserted six months
and five days ago by default, the (DATES=ABSOLUTE) and might expire
immediately depending on the retention value that is specified in the file's
management class. Specifying DATES=RELATIVE results in resetting the
archive date for the file to five days ago during import. The
DATES=RELATIVE parameter thus adjusts file backup and archive dates for
the time that elapsed since the export operation occurred.
VOLumenames (Required)
imported in the same order as they were exported. The parameter supports the
following values:
volume_name
FILE:file_name

FILE Any fully qualified file name string. An example is
/imdata/mt1.
Replacedefs
Specifies whether to replace definitions on the target server. The default value
is NO. The parameter supports the following values:
No Objects are not to be replaced.
Yes
Objects are to be replaced.
HEXFILESpace
Specifies the hexadecimal representation of the file space names in UTF-8
format. Separate multiple names with commas and no intervening spaces. This
To view the hexadecimal representation of a file space name, you can use the
QUERY FILESPACE command with FORMAT=DETAILED.
UNIFILESpace
Specifies that the file spaces that are known to the server are Unicode enabled.
The server converts the names that you enter from the server code page to the
UTF-8 code page to find the file spaces to import. The success of the

MERGEfilespaces

PROXynodeassoc
Specifies whether proxy node associations are imported. This parameter is
optional. The default value is NO.
Example: Import client node information from tapes

From the server, import client node information from tape volumes TAPE01,
TAPE02, and TAPE03. Specify that these tape volumes be read by a device that is
assigned to the MENU1 device class.
import node devclass=menu1 volumenames=tape01,tape02,tape03
Example: Import client node information from tapes listed in a

file
From the server, import client node information from tape volumes that are listed
in a file named TAPEVOL.

Dates
Specifies whether the dates for the file copies are set as the same date when
the files were exported, or is adjusted to the import date.
If the import media is idle for some time after export, for example; if it is
sitting on a shelf for six months, the original backup, or archive dates might be
old enough to trigger the file copies to expire immediately when the data is
imported into a server. The RELATIVE specification for this value adjusts for
time that is elapsed since export so that the file copies are not immediately
expired.
For example, assume that an import tape contains an archive file copy that was
archived five days before the export operation. If the export media are saved
for six months and then imported, the archive file looks like it is inserted six
months and five days ago by default (DATES=ABSOLUTE) and might expire
immediately depending upon the retention value that is specified in the file's
management class. Specifying DATES=RELATIVE results in resetting the
archive date for the file to five days ago during import. DATES=RELATIVE
parameter thus adjusts file backup and archive dates for the time that elapsed
since the export operation occurred.

Absolute
The dates for file copies are set to the values specified when the files were
exported.
Relative

LABEL LIBVOLUME (Label a library volume)
Use this command to label tape volumes or, in an automated library, to label the
volumes automatically as they are checked in. With this command, the server uses
the full-length label with which the volumes are often prelabeled.
Important: Use this command only for MANUAL, SCSI, ACSLS, and 349X
libraries. The command processing will not wait for a drive to become available,
even if the drive is only in the IDLE state. If necessary, you can make a library
drive available by issuing the DISMOUNT VOLUME command to dismount the volume
in that particular drive. When the library drive becomes available, you can reissue
the LABEL LIBVOLUME command.

Parameters
Specifies the name of the library that contains the storage volume.
volume_name
Specifies the name of the volume to be labeled.
v For SCSI libraries: The server requests that the volume be inserted into a slot
in the library or, if available, into an entry/exit port. The server identifies a
slot by the slot's element address. If you are labeling a volume in a SCSI
library with multiple entry/exit ports, the volume in the lowest numbered
slot will be labeled.
v For MANUAL libraries: The server requests that the volume be inserted into
a drive.
v For 349X libraries: The volume might already be in the library, or you might
be prompted to put it into the I/O station.
Remember: If the specified volume name is already defined in a storage pool

or in a volume history file, the volume is not labeled, and a message is
displayed.
CHECKIN
Specifies whether the server checks in the volume. This parameter is optional.
SCRatch
Specifies that the server checks in the volumes and adds them to the
library's scratch pool. If a volume has an entry in volume history, you
cannot check it in as a scratch volume.
PRIvate
Specifies that the server checks in the volumes and designates them as
private. Private volumes are available only when you request them by
name.
If you do not specify a value for this parameter, then the command will only
label the volume but will not check it in. If you do not specify a value for this
parameter and you want to check in the volume, you must issue the CHECKIN
LIBVOLUME command.
SEARCH
Specifies that the server searches the library for usable volumes to label. This
parameter applies to SCSI, 349X, and ACSLS libraries.
Yes
Specifies that the server labels only volumes that are stored in the library,
unless the volume is already labeled or its bar code cannot be read.

If you specify the LABELSOURCE=PROMPT option, the volume is moved
into the drive from its location in the library or entry and exit ports. The
server prompts you to issue the REPLY command containing the label
string, and that label is written to the tape.
Bulk
Specifies that the server searches the library entry/exit ports for usable
volumes to label. This option is only valid for SCSI libraries.
If you specify LABELSOURCE=BARCODE, the volume bar code is read,
and the tape is moved from its location in the library or in the entry/exit
ports to a drive where the bar code label is written. After the tape is
labeled, it is moved back to its location in the library, to the entry/exit
ports, or to a storage slot if the CHECKIN option is specified. For bar code
support to work correctly for libraries supported by Tivoli Storage
Manager, the Tivoli Storage Manager server and the device driver must be
at the same level. Bar code support is available for libraries supported by
Tivoli Storage Manager and which use the Tivoli Storage Manager device
driver or the IBM Magstar® or LTO Ultrium device driver.
Tip: You can use the VOLRANGE or VOLLIST parameter to limit the
search.
VOLRange
Specifies a range of volume names separated by a comma. Use this parameter
to limit the search for volumes to be labeled when you specify SEARCH=YES
(349X, ACSLS, and SCSI libraries) or SEARCH=BULK (SCSI libraries only). If
there are no volumes in the library that are within the specified range, the
command completes without errors.
You can specify only volume names that can be numerically incremented. In
addition to the incremental area, a volume name can include an alphanumeric
prefix and an alphanumeric suffix, for example:
volrange=bar110,bar130 The 21 volumes are labeled: bar110, bar111,
bar112 ,...bar129, bar130.
volrange=bar11a,bar13a The 3 volumes are labeled: bar11a, bar12a,
bar13a.
volrange=123400,123410 The 11 volumes are labeled: 123400, 123401,
...123409, 123410.
VOLList
Specifies a list of volumes. Use this parameter to limit the search for volumes
to be labeled when you specify SEARCH=YES (349X, ACSLS, and SCSI
libraries) or SEARCH=BULK (SCSI libraries only). If there are no volumes in
the library that are in the list, the command completes without errors. The
VOLLIST parameter can also be the source of names to be used to label
volumes if the LABELSOURCE parameter is set to VOLLIST. If
LABELSOURCE=VOLLIST, you must specify the VOLLIST parameter.
volume_name
Specifies the names of one or more values that are used for the command.
For example: VOLLIST=TAPE01,TAPE02.
FILE:file_name
example, to use volume TAPE01, TAPE02 and TAPE03, create a file named
TAPEVOL that contains these lines:
TAPE01
TAPE02
TAPE03

Remember: The file name is case-sensitive.

LABELSource
Specifies how or whether the server reads sequential media labels of volumes.
This option is only valid for SCSI libraries. Specify this parameter only when
SEARCH=YES or SEARCH=BULK.
Prompt
The server prompts for volume names as necessary.
Barcode
The server attempts to read the bar code label. If the attempt fails, the
server will not label the volume and will display a message.
Important: For bar code support to work properly, the appropriate device
drivers must be installed for the libraries.
Vollist
This option only applies to SCSI libraries. The server attempts to read the
specified file or list of files. If the attempt fails, the server will not label the
volumes and will display a message.
OVERWRITE
Specifies whether the server attempts to overwrite existing labels. This
parameter is optional. The default is NO. Possible values are:
No Specifies that the server labels only unlabeled volumes. For StorageTek
VolSafe volumes, the value must be NO.
Yes
Specifies that the server overwrites existing labels only if both the existing
label and the prompted or bar code label are not already defined in either
the server storage pool or volume history list.
WAITTime
Specifies the number of minutes that the server will wait for you to reply or
respond to a request. Specify a value in the range 0-9999. If you want to be
prompted by the server, specify a wait time greater than zero. The default
value is 60 minutes. For example, suppose the server prompts you to insert a
tape into the entry/exit port of a library. If you specified a wait time of 60
minutes, the server will issue a request and wait 60 minutes for you to reply.
Suppose, on the other hand, you specify a wait time of 0. If you have already
inserted a tape, a wait time of zero will cause the operation to continue
without prompting. If you have not inserted a tape, a wait time of zero will
cause the operation to fail.

Example: Automatically label library volumes
Label tapes in a SCSI library named AUTO automatically as you are checking the
volumes in.
label libvolume auto checkin=scratch search=yes labelsource=barcode
overwrite=yes
Example: Label sequential library volumes
Label 3 volumes from bar11a to bar13a in a SCSI library named ABC. When you
issue the following command, the 3 volumes are labeled: bar11a, bar12a, bar13a.
label libvolume abc checkin=scratch search=yes volrange=bar11a,bar13a

MACRO (Invoke a macro)
Use this command to invoke a file from the administrative command line that
contains one or more Tivoli Storage Manager administrative commands to be
performed.
Restriction: Use this command with administrative command-line clients only.
A macro is a file that contains one or more Tivoli Storage Manager administrative
commands. You can only issue a macro from the administrative client in batch or
interactive mode. A macro is stored as a file on the administrative client machine
(or system). Macros are not distributed across servers and cannot be scheduled on
the server.
Creating a macro to enter commands can be helpful when you want to issue
commands that are used repeatedly, to issue commands that contain several
parameters, or to process related commands in a specific order. After you create a
macro, you can update the information it contains and use it again, or you can
copy the macro file, make changes to the copy, and then run the copy.
For detailed information on macros, how to use them, and the differences between
command scripts and administrative command-line client macros, refer to the

Parameters
macro_name (Required)
Specifies the name of the macro.
substitution_value
Specifies the value for a substitution variable in a macro. When you use a
substitution variable, you can reuse a macro whenever you need to perform
the same task for different objects or with different parameter values. To
specify a value that contains blanks, you must enclose the value in quotation
marks. This parameter is optional.
Example: Create a macro to register a new administrator
Create a macro file named REGNG. Use the macro to register and grant authority
to a new administrator. Write the macro as follows:
/* Register and grant authority to a new administrator */
REGister Admin jones passwd -

MIGRATE STGPOOL (Migrate storage pool to next storage pool)
Use this command to migrate files from one storage pool to the next storage pool
in the storage hierarchy.
This command can only be used with primary storage pools. The storage pool data
format cannot be NETAPPDUMP, CELERRADUMP, or NDMPDUMP. Data cannot
be migrated into or out of storage pools that are defined with a CENTERA device
class.
Only one migration or reclamation process for a given storage pool is allowed at
any given time. If a migration or reclamation process is already running for the
storage pool, you cannot start another migration process for the storage pool.
You should only use this command if you are not going to use automatic
migration for the storage pool. To prevent automatic migration from running, set
the HIGHMIG attribute of the storage pool definition to 100.
If you use this command to start a migration process, but the storage pool does not
have a next storage pool identified in the hierarchy, a reclamation process is
triggered for the source storage pool. To prevent the reclamation process, define
the next storage pool in the hierarchy. For details, see the topic about setting up a
storage pool hierarchy in the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Administrator's Guide.
Then, start the migration process.
The MIGRATE STGPOOL command honors the values of the following parameters on
the DEFINE STGPOOL and UPDATE STGPOOL commands:
v MIGPROCESS
v MIGDELAY
v MIGCONTINUE
v NEXTPOOL
v LOWMIG
Tip: You can override the value of the LOWMIG parameter on DEFINE STGPOOL and
UPDATE STGPOOL by specifying a value for the LOWMIG parameter on the
MIGRATE STGPOOL command.
The MIGRATE STGPOOL command ignores the value of the HIGHMIG parameter of
the storage pool definition. Migration occurs regardless of the value of the
HIGHMIG parameter.
This command creates one or more migration processes that can be canceled with
the CANCEL PROCESS command. The number of processes is limited by the
MIGPROCESS attribute of the storage pool definition. To display information about

Syntax
MIGrate STGpool pool_name
LOwmig = number
REClaim = No Wait = No

DUration = minutes REClaim = No Wait = No
Yes Yes
Parameters
Specifies the primary storage pool from which files are to be migrated.
DUration
Specifies the maximum number of minutes the migration runs before being
automatically canceled. When the specified number of minutes elapses, the
server will automatically cancel all migration processes for this storage pool.
As soon as the processes recognize the automatic cancellation, they end. As a
result, the migration might run longer than the value you specified for this
parameter. You can specify a number from 1 to 9999. This parameter is
optional. If not specified, the server will stop only after the low migration
threshold is reached.
LOwmig
For random-access and sequential-access disk storage pools, specifies that
migration should stop when the amount of data in the pool is at or below this
percentage of the pool's estimated capacity. This parameter is optional.
The calculation for sequential-access disk storage pools includes the capacity of
all the scratch volumes that are specified for the pool. Because migration is by
node or filespace, depending upon collocation, the occupancy of the storage
pool can fall below the value that you specified for this parameter. To empty
the storage pool, set LOWMIG=0. For other types of sequential-access storage
pools, the server stops migration when the ratio of volumes containing data to
the total number of volumes in the storage pool is at or below this percentage.
The total number of volumes includes the maximum number of scratch
volumes. You can specify a number from 0 to 99 for this optional parameter.
The default value is the LOWMIG attribute of the storage pool definition.
REClaim
Specifies whether reclamation is attempted for the storage pool before
completing the migration. This parameter can only be specified for a
sequential-access storage pool. This parameter is optional. The default is No.
No Specifies that the server will not attempt a reclamation before starting the
migration.
Yes
Specifies that the server will attempt reclamation before starting the
migration. Any volumes in the storage pool that meet the reclamation
threshold as specified by the RECLAIM attribute of the storage pool
definition will be reclaimed before completing the migration. If no volumes
meet the reclamation threshold or if, after reclamation, the LOWMIG
threshold has not been reached, the server will begin the migration. Before
reclaiming space for storage pools defined with

MOVE DATA (Move files on a storage pool volume)
Use this command to move files from one storage pool volume to other storage
pool volumes.
You can move files from a primary storage pool volume only to volumes in the
same or a different primary storage pool. You can move files from a copy storage
pool volume only to volumes in the same copy storage pool. You can move files
from an active-data pool volume only to volumes in the same active-data pool.
In addition to moving data from volumes in storage pools that have NATIVE or
NONBLOCK data formats, you can use this command to move data from volumes
in storage pools that have NDMP data formats (NETAPPDUMP, CELERRADUMP,
or NDMPDUMP). The target storage pool must have the same data format as the
source storage pool. If you are moving data out of a storage pool for the purpose
of upgrading to new tape technology, the target primary storage pool must be
associated with a library that has the new device for the tape drives.Tivoli Storage
Manager supports backend data movement for NDMP images. For details, see the
You cannot move data into or out of a storage pool that is defined with a
CENTERA device class.
If you are moving files to volumes in the same storage pool, sufficient space must
be available on the volumes. Otherwise, the operation fails.
When you move files from a sequential access volume, multiple sequential access
volume mounts are required to move files that span volumes.
When you move files from a random access volume, the server erases any cached
copies of files on the volume.
After a move data operation completes, a volume might not be empty if one or
more files cannot be relocated to another volume because of input/output errors
on the device or because errors were found in the file. If needed, you can delete
the volume using the option to discard any data. The files with I/O or other errors
are then deleted.
You can use this command to move files from an offsite volume in a copy storage
pool or active-data pool. Because the offsite volume cannot be mounted, the server
obtains the files that are on the offsite volume from either a primary storage pool
or another copy storage pool. These files are then written to the destination
volumes in the original copy storage pool or active-data pool.
During the data movement process, active-data pools cannot be used to obtain
data.
If you run the MOVE DATA command on an offsite volume that contains collocated
data, it might be necessary to issue the MOVE DATA command multiple times to
move all of the data out of the volume. For example, if you are using filespace
collocation groups with an offsite volume that contains filespaces in a collocation
group and filespaces that are not in the group, you must issue two MOVE DATA
commands. Each MOVE DATA command moves the data for a single collocated or
non-collocated group of files.
Do not use the MOVE DATA command if a restore process (RESTORE STGPOOL or
RESTORE VOLUME) is running. The MOVE DATA command might cause the restore to be
incomplete. If you issue the MOVE DATA command during a restore operation and
you receive an error message indicating that one or more files are locked and
cannot be moved, you must reissue the MOVE DATA command after the restore
operation completes in order to move any remaining files.
Remember:
Issuing this command removes duplicate data when:

v Moving data from a primary storage pool that is set up for data deduplication to
another primary storage pool that is also set up for data deduplication.
v Moving data within a copy storage pool that is set up for data deduplication.
v Moving data within an active-data pool that is set up for data deduplication.

Parameters
Specifies the storage pool volume from which to move files.
STGpool
Specifies the primary storage pool to which you want to move files (the target
storage pool). This parameter is optional and applies only to moving data from

primary storage pool volumes. If you do not specify a value for this parameter,
files are moved to other volumes within the same storage pool.
SHREDTONOshred
Specifies whether data is moved from a storage pool that enforces shredding to
a storage pool that does not enforce shredding. This parameter is optional. The
default value is NO. Possible values are:
No Specifies that the server will not allow data to be moved from a storage
pool that enforces shredding to a storage pool that does not enforce
shredding. If the source storage pool enforces shredding and the target
storage pool does not, the operation will fail.
Yes
Specifies that the server allows data to be moved from a storage pool that
enforces shredding to a storage pool that does not enforce shredding. The
source data is shredded when the operation is complete. The target data
will not be shredded when it is deleted.
RECONStruct
Specifies whether to reconstruct file aggregates during data movement.
Reconstruction removes empty space that has accumulated during deletion of
logical files from an aggregate. This parameter is optional. If both the source
and target storage pools are sequential access, the default value is YES. If
either the source or target storage pool is random access, the default is NO.
The parameter is not available or is ignored if any of the following conditions
are true:
v The data format is NETAPPDUMP, CELERRADUMP, or NDMPDUMP.
v The data is in a storage pool that is configured for data deduplication.
v The target storage pool for the data movement is configured for data
deduplication.
Attention: Reconstruction removes inactive backup files in active-data pools.

If you specify RECONSTRUCT=NO when moving the data in an active-data
pool that is not configured for data deduplication, inactive backup files remain
in the storage pool.
No Specifies that reconstruction of file aggregates is not completed during data
movement.
Yes
Specifies that reconstruction of file aggregates is completed during data
movement. You can only specify this option when both the source and the
target storage pools are sequential-access.
Wait

MOVE DRMEDIA (Move disaster recovery media offsite and
back onsite)
Use this command to track database backup and copy storage-pool volumes that
are to be moved offsite and to identify the expired or empty volumes that are to be
moved onsite.
The database backup volumes can be used for full plus incremental or snapshot
backups. You cannot specify virtual volumes (backup objects that are stored on
another server). You can change volumes through each state, or you can use the
TOSTATE parameter and skip states to simplify the movements.
The MOVE DRMEDIA command always processes copy storage-pool volumes. By

default, volumes in active-data pools are not eligible for processing by the disaster
recovery manager. To process active-data pool volumes, you must issue the SET
DRMACTIVEDATASTGPOOL command. To control whether the command processes
database backup volumes, you can use the SOURCE parameter on this command.
You can use the QUERY ACTLOG command to see if the MOVE DRMEDIA command was
successful. You can also view this information from the server console.
Restriction: Do not run the MOVE DRMEDIA and BACKUP STGPOOL commands
concurrently. Ensure that the storage pool backup processes are complete before
you issue the MOVE DRMEDIA command.

COPYstgpool
Specifies the name of the copy storage pool whose volumes are to be
processed. This parameter is optional. You can use wildcard characters to
specify this name. If you use wildcard characters to specify this name, you
must also specify the WHERESTATE parameter.
The copy storage pools that are specified with this parameter override copy
storage pools that are specified with the SET DRMCOPYSTGPOOL command. If this
parameter is not specified, Tivoli Storage Manager selects the storage pools as
follows:
v If the SET DRMCOPYSTGPOOL command was previously issued with valid copy
storage pool names, Tivoli Storage Manager processes only those storage
pools.
v If the SET DRMCOPYSTGPOOL command was not issued, or if all of the copy
storage pools are removed by using the SET DRMCOPYSTGPOOL command,
Tivoli Storage Manager processes all copy storage pool volumes in the
specified state. The states available are MOUNTABLE, NOTMOUNTABLE,
COURIER, VAULTRETRIEVE, or COURIERRETRIEVE.
Source
Specifies whether to include database backup volumes for processing. This
parameter is optional. The default is DBBACKUP. Specify one of the following
values:
DBBackup
Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager includes full and incremental
database backup volumes for processing.
DBSnapshot
Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager includes database snapshot backup
volumes for processing.
DBNOne
Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager does not include any database
backup volumes for processing.
ACTIVEDatastgpool
Specifies the name of the active-data pool whose volumes are to be processed.
This parameter is optional. You can use wildcard characters to specify this
name. If you use wildcard characters to specify this name, you must also
specify the WHERESTATE parameter.
The active-data pools that are specified with this parameter override
active-data pools that are specified with the SET DRMACTIVEDATASTGPOOL
command. If this parameter is not specified, Tivoli Storage Manager selects the
storage pools in the following way:
v If the SET DRMACTIVEDATASTGPOOL command was previously issued with valid
active-data pool names, Tivoli Storage Manager processes only those storage
pools.
v If the SET DRMACTIVEDATASTGPOOL command was not issued, or all of the
active-data pools are removed by using the SET ACTIVEDATASTGPOOL
command, Tivoli Storage Manager processes all active-data pool volumes in
the specified state. The states available are NOTMOUNTABLE, COURIER,
VAULTRETRIEVE, or COURIERRETRIEVE. Volumes in the MOUNTABLE
state are not processed.
REMove
Specifies that the Tivoli Storage Manager server tries to move the volume out
of the library and into the convenience I/O station or entry/exit ports. This
parameter is optional. Possible values are YES, BULK, NO, and
UNTILEEFULL. The default is BULK. The response of the server to each of

Specifies that volumes are to change to the ONSITERETRIEVE state. This
value is valid only if the volumes are in the VAULTRETRIEVE or
COURIERRETRIEVE state. For database backup and scratch copy storage
pool volumes that are changing to the ONSITERETRIEVE state, Tivoli
Storage Manager deletes the volume records from the database.

WHERELOcation
Specifies the current location of the volumes. This parameter is optional. The
maximum length of the location is 255 characters. Enclose the text in quotation
TOLOcation
Specifies the destination location of the volumes. This parameter is optional.
The maximum length of the location that is specified is 255 characters. Enclose
the text in quotation marks if it contains any blank characters. If you do not
specify the destination location, the location that is defined by the SET
DRMNOTMOUNTABLE command is used.
CMd
Specifies a command to be issued for each volume that is processed by the
MOVE DRMEDIA command. DRM writes the commands to a file that is specified
by the CMDFILENAME parameter. After the MOVE DRMEDIA operation is
completed, the commands in the file can be issued. The command can contain
up to 255 characters. If the command contains more than 240 characters, it is
split into multiple lines, and continuation characters (+) are added. You might
need to alter the continuation character based on the operating system. This
command
The command string that is enclosed in quotation marks. The string must
not include embedded quotation marks. For example, the following CMD
parameter is valid:
cmd="checkin libvol lib8mm &vol status=scratch"
The following example is not a valid way to specify the CMD parameter:
cmd=""checkin libvol lib8mm" &vol status=scratch""
The command can include substitution variables. The variables are not
case-sensitive, and must not contain blank spaces after the ampersand (&).
You can specify the following values:
&VOL
A volume name.
&LOC
A volume location.
&VOLDSN
The file name to be written into the sequential access media labels. For
example, if the applicable device class sets Tivoli Storage Manager as
the tape volume prefix, a copy storage pool tape volume file name
might be TSM.BFS and a database backup tape volume file name
might be TSM.DBB.
&NL
The new line character. When you use the new line character, the
command is split at the &NL variable. If required, you must specify
the appropriate continuation character before the &NL character. If the
&NL character is not specified and the command line is greater than
240 characters, the line is split into multiple lines and continuation
characters (+) are added.
CMDFilename
Specifies the fully qualified name of the file that contains the commands that
are specified by CMD parameter. This parameter is optional.
If you do not specify a file name or if you specify a null string (""), DRM uses
the file name that is specified by the SET DRMCMDFILENAME command. If you do
not specify a file name with the SET DRMCMDFILENAME command, DRM generates
a file name by appending exec.cmds to the directory path name of the current
working directory of the Tivoli Storage Manager server.
If the operation fails after the command file is created, the file is not deleted.
APPend
Specifies whether to overwrite any existing contents of the command file or
append the commands to the file. This parameter is optional. The default is
NO. Specify one of the following values::
No DRM overwrites the contents of the file.
Yes
DRM appends the commands to the file.
Wait
in the foreground. This parameter is optional. The default value is NO. Specify
No Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager processes this command in the
background.
To see whether the operation was successful, issue the QUERY ACTLOG
command.
Yes

MOVE MEDIA (Move sequential access storage pool media)
Use this command to manage overflow storage pools. The database tracks media
that is moved by using this command.
This command applies to sequential access primary and copy storage pool volumes
that are managed by an automated library (including an external library). The
library does not have to be full. One or more sequential access storage pool
volumes can be processed at the same time.
Use the DAYS parameter to identify eligible volumes to be moved. Use the
OVERFLOW LOCATION parameter to record the storage location for the moved
media.
This command generates a background process that you can view by using the
QUERY PROCESS command. To cancel, issue the CANCEL PROCESS command.
To determine whether the command was successful, issue the QUERY ACTLOG
command or use the server console.
The volumes that are moved by the MOVE DRMEDIA command for offsite recovery are
not processed by the MOVE MEDIA command.
For more information, see the Administrator's Guide.

Parameters
Specifies the name of the sequential access primary or copy storage pool
volume to be processed. You can use a wildcard character to specify the name.
All matching volumes are considered for processing.
STGpool (Required)
Specifies the name of the sequential access primary or copy storage pool that is
used to select the volumes for processing. You can use a wildcard character to
specify the name. All matching storage pools are processed. If the storage pool
specified is not managed by an automated library, no volumes are processed.
Days
Specifies the number of days that must elapse after the volume is written or
read before the volume is eligible for processing by the command. This
parameter is optional. You can specify a number from 0 to 9999. The default
value is 0. The most recent of the volumes' last written date or last read date is
used to calculate the number of days elapsed.
WHERESTate
Specifies the current state of the volumes to be processed. This parameter is
used to restrict processing to the volumes that are in the specified state. This
parameter is optional. The default value is MOUNTABLEINLIB.
MOUNTABLEInlib
Specifies that storage pool volumes are to move from the
MOUNTABLEINLIB state to the MOUNTABLENOTINLIB state. Volumes
in the MOUNTABLEINLIB state contain valid data and are in the library.
MOUNTABLENotinlib
Specifies that storage pool volumes are to change from the
MOUNTABLENOTINLIB state back to the MOUNTABLEINLIB state.
Volumes in the MOUNTABLENOTINLIB state might contain valid data
and are in the overflow location.
v For empty scratch volumes, the MOVE MEDIA command deletes the
volume records so that they can be used again.
v For private volumes, the MOVE MEDIA command resets the volume
location to blank, changes the volumes' state to CHECKIN, and changes
the last update date to the current date.

v For scratch volumes with data, the MOVE MEDIA command resets the
volume location to blank, changes the volumes' state to CHECKIN, and
changes the last update date to the current date.
Attention: Volumes in the CHECKIN state might contain valid data and
must be checked into the library.
WHERESTATUs
Specifies that the move process must be restricted by volume status. This
parameter is optional. You can specify more than one status in a list by
separating each status with a comma and no intervening spaces. If you do not
specify this parameter, volumes moved from the MOUNTABLEINLIB state to
the MOUNTABLENOTINLIB state are restricted to only full volumes, and
volumes moved from the MOUNTABLENOTINLIB state to the
MOUNTABLEINLIB state are restricted to only empty volumes.
FULl
Moves volumes with a status of FULL.
FILling
Moves volumes with a status of FILLING.
EMPty
Moves volumes with a status of EMPTY.
ACCess
Specifies how users and system processes access files in the storage pool
volume that is moved out from an automated library and stored in an
overflow location by the MOVE MEDIA command. This parameter is optional. If
you do not specify this parameter, moving volumes from the
MOUNTABLEINLIB state to the MOUNTABLENOTINLIB process updates the
volumes' access mode to READONLY, and moving volumes from the
MOUNTABLENOTINLIB state to the MOUNTABLEINLIB process updates the
volumes' access mode to READWRITE.
READWrite
Specifies that users and system processes can read from and write to files
stored on the volume that is in the overflow location. If this value is
specified, Tivoli Storage Manager requests the volume to be checked into
the library when the volume is needed for a read or write operation.
READOnly
Specifies that users and system processes can read but not write to files
that are stored on the volume that is in the overflow location. The server
requests the volume to be checked into the library only when the volume
is needed for a read operation.
OVFLOcation
Specifies the overflow location that is the destination of the volumes that are
being processed. The maximum length of the location name is 255 characters.
The location name information must be enclosed in quotation marks if it
contains any blank characters. If you do not specify an overflow location and
the storage pool also has no overflow location identified, the server changes
the location of the ejected volume to a null string ("").
REMove
Specifies that the Tivoli Storage Manager server tries to move the volume out
of the library and into the convenience I/O station or entry/exit ports. This
parameter is optional. Possible values are YES, BULK, and NO. The default is
BULK. The response of the server to each of those options and the default
values are described in the following tables.

CMd
Specifies the creation of executable commands. This parameter is optional. You
must enclose your command specification in quotation marks. The maximum
length of the command specification is 255 characters. For each volume
successfully processed by the MOVE MEDIA command, Tivoli Storage
Manager writes the associated commands to a file. Specify the file name with
the CMDFILENAME parameter.
If you do not specify the file name, the MOVE MEDIA command generates a
default file name by appending the string exec.cmds.media to the Tivoli
Storage Manager server directory.
If the length of the command that is written to the file exceeds 255 characters,
it is split into multiple lines and a continuation character, +, is added to all but
the last line of the command. You must alter the continuation character
according to the requirements of the product that runs the commands.
If you do not specify CMD, the MOVE MEDIA command might not generate any
string
Specifies the string to build an executable command. You can specify any
free form text for the string. Enclose the full string in quotation marks. For
example, the following is a valid executable command specification:
CMD="UPDATE VOLUME &VOL"
The following is an invalid executable command specification:

CMD=""UPDATE VOLUME" &VOL"
substitution
Specifies a variable for which you want the command to substitute a value.
The possible substitution variables are:
&VOL
Substitute the volume name for &VOL. You can specify lowercase
characters, &vol. No spaces or blanks are allowed between ampersand,
&, and VOL. If there are spaces or blanks between ampersand and
VOL, the MOVE MEDIA command treats them as strings and no
substitution is set. If &VOL is not specified, no volume name is set in
the executable command.
&LOC
Substitute the volume location for &LOC. You can specify lowercase
characters, &loc. No spaces or blanks are allowed between ampersand,
&, and LOC. If there are spaces or blanks between ampersand and
LOC, the MOVE MEDIA command treats them as strings and no
substitution is set. If &LOC is not specified, no location name is set in
the executable command.
&VOLDSN
Substitute the volume file name for &VOLDSN. An example of a
storage pool tape volume file name that uses the default prefix ADSM
is ADSM.BFS. If &VOLDSN is not specified, no volume file name is set
in the executable command.
&NL
Substitute a new line character for &NL. When &NL is specified, the
MOVE MEDIA command splits the command at the position where the
&NL is and does not append any continuation character. The user is
responsible for specifying the correct continuation character before the
&NL if one is required. The user is also responsible for the length of
the line written. If the &NL is not specified and the length of the
command line exceeds 255, the command line is split into multiple
lines and a continuation character, +, is added to all but the last line of
the command.
CMDFilename
Specifies the full path name of a file that contains the commands that are
specified with CMD. This parameter is optional. The maximum length of the
file name is 1279 characters.
If you do not specify a file name, the MOVE MEDIA command generates a default
file name by appending the string exec.cmds.media to the Tivoli Storage
Manager server directory. The server directory is the current working directory
of the Tivoli Storage Manager server process.
The MOVE MEDIA command automatically allocates the file name that is specified
or generated. If the file name exists, you can use the APPEND=YES parameter
to add to the file. Otherwise, the file is overwritten. If a file is accidentally
overwritten and you must run the commands that were in the file, issue the
QUERY MEDIA command to rebuild the executable commands for the desired
volumes. If the MOVE MEDIA command fails after the command file is allocated,
the file is not deleted.
APPend
Specifies to write at the beginning or ending of the command file data. The
default is NO. Possible values are:
No Specifies to write the data from the beginning of the command file. If the
command file exists, its contents are overwritten.
Yes
Specifies to append the command file by writing at the end of the
command file data.

CHECKLabel
Specifies whether Tivoli Storage Manager reads volume labels for sequential
media. For SCSI devices, you can suppress label checking by setting the
CHECKLabel to NO. This parameter is not applicable to 349X libraries. This
parameter is optional. The default is YES. Possible values are:
Yes
Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager attempts to read the media label.
Reading the media label verifies that the correct volume is being checked
out.
No Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager does not attempt to read media label.
This increases performance because the read process does not occur.

processes.

MOVE NODEDATA (Move data by node in a sequential access
storage pool)
Use this command to move data that is in a sequential-access storage pool. You can
move data for one or more nodes, a group of file spaces, or for a group of
collocated nodes. You can also move selected file spaces for a single node. The data
can be in a primary storage pool, a copy storage pool, or an active-data pool.
This command is helpful for reducing the number of volume mounts during client
restore or retrieve operations by consolidating data for a specific node within a
storage pool, or to move data to another storage pool. For example, you can use
this command for moving data to a random-access storage pool in preparation for
client restore processing.
Ensure that the access mode of the volumes from which you are moving the node
data is read/write or read-only and that the access mode of the volumes to which
you are moving the node data is set to read/write. This operation will not move
data on volumes with access modes of offsite, unavailable, or destroyed.
The MOVE NODEDATA command takes two forms, depending on whether you are
moving data only for selected filespaces. The syntax and parameters for each form
are defined separately.
v “MOVE NODEDATA (Move data in file spaces for one or more nodes or a
collocation group)” on page 630
v “MOVE NODEDATA (Move data from selected file spaces of a single node)” on

Parameters
node_name (Required unless the COLLOCGROUP parameter is specified)
Specifies the node name that is related to the data that is moved with this
command. Separate multiple names with commas and no intervening spaces.
You can use wildcard characters to specify names.
COLLOCGroup (Required unless the node_name parameter is specified)
Specifies the name of the collocation group whose data is to be moved. Data
for all nodes and file spaces that belong to the collocation group are moved.
FROMstgpool (Required)
Specifies the name of a sequential-access storage pool that contains data to be
moved. This storage pool must be in the NATIVE or NONBLOCK data format.
TOstgpool
Specifies the name of a storage pool to where the data is moved. This storage
pool must be in the NATIVE or NONBLOCK data format. This parameter is
optional and does not apply when the source storage pool is a copy storage
pool or an active-data pool. That is, if the source storage pool is a copy storage
pool the destination must be the same copy storage pool. Similarly, if the
source storage pool is an active-data pool, the destination must be the same
active-data pool. If a value is not specified, data is moved to other volumes
within the source pool.
Important: If you are moving data within the same storage pool, there must be
volumes available that do not contain the node data that you are moving. That
is, the server cannot use volumes that contain the data to be moved as
destination volumes.
Type
Specifies the type of files to be moved. This parameter is optional. The default
value is ANY. If the source storage pool is an active-data pool, the only valid
values are ANY and BACKUP. However, only the active versions of backup
data are moved if TYPE=ANY. Specify one of the following values:
ANY
Specifies that all types of files are moved.
Backup
Specifies that backup files are moved.
ARchive
Specifies that archive files are moved. This value is not valid for
active-data pools.
SPacemanaged
Specifies that space-managed files (files that were migrated by a Tivoli
Storage Manager for Space Management client) are moved. This value is
not valid for active-data pools.
MAXPRocess
Specifies the maximum number of parallel processes to use for moving data.
This parameter is optional. You can specify a value from 1 to 999, inclusive.
The default value is 1. Increasing the number of parallel processes usually
improves throughput.
When you determine this value, consider the number of logical and physical
depends on other Tivoli Storage Manager and system activity. The mount
points and drives also depend on the mount limits of the device classes for the
sequential access storage pools that are involved in the move. Each process
needs a mount point for storage pool volumes, and, if the device type is not
FILE, each process also needs a drive.
Wait

Specifies the name of a sequential-access storage pool that contains data to be
moved. This storage pool must be in the NATIVE or NONBLOCK data format.
TOstgpool
Specifies the name of a storage pool to which data will be moved. This storage
pool must be in the NATIVE or NONBLOCK data format. This parameter is
optional and does not apply when the source storage pool is a copy storage
pool or an active-data pool. That is, if the source storage pool is a copy storage
pool the destination must be the same copy storage pool. Similarly, if the
source storage pool is an active-data pool, the destination must be the same
active-data pool. If a value is not specified, data is moved to other volumes
within the source pool.
Important: If you are moving data within the same storage pool, there must be
volumes available that do not contain the node data you are moving. That is,
the server cannot use volumes that contain the data to be moved as destination

PERFORM LIBACTION (Define or delete all drives and paths for a
library)
Use this command to define or delete all drives and their paths for a single library
in one step.
This command can be used when you set up a library environment or modify an
existing hardware setup that requires changes to many drive definitions. After you
define a library, issue PERFORM LIBACTION to define drives and their paths for the
library. You can also delete all drives and paths for a library by issuing the
command with ACTION=DELETE.
This command is only valid for library types of SCSI and VTL. To use this
command with ACTION=DEFINE, the SANDISCOVERY option must be supported
and enabled.

Parameters
Specifies the name of the library to be defined or deleted. The maximum
length of this name is 30 characters unless you are issuing PERFORM LIBACTION
with ACTION=DEFINE and using the default PREFIX value. In that case, the
maximum length of the name is 25 characters.
ACTion
Specifies the action for the PERFORM LIBACTION command. Possible values are:
DEFine
Specifies that drives and their paths are defined for the specified library.
SAN discovery must be enabled before you specify this parameter value.
DELete
Specifies that drives and their paths are deleted for the specified library.
| RESet
| Specifies that drives and their paths are updated online for the specified
| library.
| DRIVEsonly
| Specifies that only drives are updated online for the specified library.
| Possible values are:
| No Specifies that drives and paths are updated online.
| Yes
| Specifies that only drives are updated online.
| QUIesce
| Specifies that drives are updated offline.
DEVIce
Specifies the library device name that is used when you define paths if a path
to the library is not already defined. If a path is already defined, the DEVICE
parameter is ignored. The maximum length for this value is 64 characters. This
PREFix
Specifies the prefix that is used for all drive definitions. For example, a PREFIX
value of DR creates drives DR0, DR1, DR2, for as many drives as are created.
If a value is not specified for the PREFIX parameter, the library name is used
as the prefix for drive definitions. The maximum length for this value is 25
characters.
SOURCe
Specifies the source server name to be used when you define or delete drive
path definitions on a library client or LAN-free client. Use this parameter only
if the drives in the library are set up for the local server. If no value is
specified for the SOURCE parameter, the local server name, which is the default,
is used. The maximum length for the source name is 64 characters.
| If you specify the SOURCE parameter, you can RESET only paths from specified
| SOURCE values. The SOURCE parameter is not compatible with the RESET
| DRIVESONLY=YES or QUIESCE options.
If a source name other than the local server name is specified with
ACTION=DEFINE, drive path definitions are defined with the token value of
UNDISCOVERED. The path definitions are then updated dynamically by
library clients that support SAN Discovery the first time the drive is mounted.
PREView
Specifies the output of all commands that are processed for PERFORM LIBACTION
before the command is issued. The PREVIEW parameter is not compatible with
the DEVICE parameter. If you are issuing the PERFORM LIBACTION command to
define a library, you cannot specify both the PREVIEW and the DEVICE parameter.
No Specifies that a preview of the commands that are issued for PERFORM
LIBACTION is not displayed.
Yes
Specifies that a preview of the commands that are issued for PERFORM
LIBACTION is displayed.
Example: Define a shared library
Assume that you are working in a SAN and that you configured a library manager
named LIBMGR1. Now, define a library that is named SHAREDTSM to a library
client server named LIBCL1.
Issue DEFINE LIBRARY from the library client server, LIBCL1:

define library sharedtsm libtype=shared primarylibmanager=libmgr1
Then, issue PERFORM LIBACTION from the library manager, LIBMGR1, to define the
drive paths for the library client:
perform libaction sharedtsm action=define source=libcl1
Note: The SANDISCOVERY option must be supported and enabled on the library
client server.
Example: Define a library with four drives
Define a SCSI library named KONA:

define library kona libtype=scsi
Then issue the PERFORM LIBACTION command to define drives and paths for the
library:
perform libaction kona action=define device=/dev/rmt/3lb
prefix=dr
The server then runs the following commands:

define path server1 kona srct=server destt=library
device=/dev/rmt/3lb
define drive kona dr0
define path server1 dr0 srct=server destt=drive library=kona
device=/dev/rmt/1mt

PREPARE (Create a recovery plan file)
Use this command to create a recovery plan file, which contains the information
that is needed to recover a Tivoli Storage Manager server. You can store a recovery
plan file on a file system that is accessible to the source Tivoli Storage Manager
server or on a target Tivoli Storage Manager server.
You can use the QUERY ACTLOG command to view whether the PREPARE command
was successful.
You can also view this information from the server console or, if the WAIT
parameter equals YES, an administrative client session.

PRIMstgpool = pool_name
Parameters
Source
Specifies the type of database backup series that Tivoli Storage Manager
assumes when generating the recovery plan file. This parameter is optional.
The default is DBBACKUP. The choices are:
DBBackup
Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager assumes the latest full database
backup series.
DBSnapshot
Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager assumes the latest database snapshot
backup series.
DEVclass
Specifies the device class name that is used to create a recovery plan file object
on a target server. The device class must have a device type of SERVER.
Important: The maximum capacity for the device class must be larger than the
size of the recovery plan file. If the size of the recovery plan file exceeds the
maximum capacity, the command fails.
The naming convention for the archive object that contains the recovery plan
file on the target server is:
v Filespace name:
ADSM.SERVER
v High-level qualifier:
devclassprefix/servername.yyyymmdd.hhmmss
v Low-level qualifier:
RPF.OBJ.1
The recovery plan file virtual volume name as recorded in the volume history
table on the source server is in the format servername.yyyymmdd.hhmmss.
If the DEVCLASS parameter is not specified, the recovery plan file is written to
a file based on the plan prefix.
If SOURCE=DBBACKUP is specified or is defaulted to, the volume history
entry for the recovery plan file object specifies a volume type of RPFILE. If
SOURCE=DBSNAPSHOT is specified, the volume history entry specifies a
volume type of RPFSNAPSHOT.
PLANPrefix
Specifies the path name prefix that is used in the recovery plan file name. This
The maximum length is 250 characters.
Tivoli Storage Manager appends to the prefix the sortable date and time format
yyyymmdd.hhmmss. For example: 20081115.051421.
The prefix can be one of the following:
Directory path
End the prefix with the forward slash (/). For example:
PLANPREFIX=/adsmsrv/recplans/
The resulting file name would look like this:

/adsmsrv/recplans/20081115.051421
Directory path followed by a string
Tivoli Storage Manager treats the string as part of the file name. For
example:
PLANPREFIX=/adsmsrv/recplans/accounting
The resulting file name looks like this:

/adsmsrv/recplans/accounting.20081115.051421
Note the period before the date and time.

String only
Tivoli Storage Manager specifies the directory path. Tivoli Storage
Manager uses the name of the current working directory. For example,
the current working directory is /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin and you
specify the following parameter:
PLANPREFIX=shipping

/opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/shipping.20081115.051421
Note the period before the date and time.

If the PLANPREFIX parameter is not specified, Tivoli Storage Manager selects
the prefix in one of these ways:
v If the SET DRMPLANPREFIX command has been issued, Tivoli Storage Manager
uses the prefix specified in that command.
v If the SET DRMPLANPREFIX command has not been issued, Tivoli Storage
Manager uses the directory path name of the current working directory. For
example, the current working directory is the following:
/opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin

/opt/tivoli/txm/server/bin/20081115.051421
INSTRPrefix
Specifies the prefix of the path name used by Tivoli Storage Manager to locate
the files that contain the recovery instructions. The maximum length is 250
characters.
Directory path
End the prefix with the forward slash (/). For example:
INSTRPREFIX=/adsmsrv/recinstr/
/adsmsrv/recinstr/RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.GENERAL
Directory path followed by a string
Tivoli Storage Manager treats the string as part of the file name. For
example:
INSTRPREFIX=/adsmsrv/recinstr/accounts
Tivoli Storage Manager appends the appropriate recovery plan file

stanza name. For the RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.GENERAL file, the
resulting file name is:
/adsmsrv/recinstr/accounts.RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.GENERAL
String only
v Tivoli Storage Manager specifies the directory path and appends the
appropriate recovery plan file stanza name. Tivoli Storage Manager
uses the name of the current working directory. For example, the
current working directory is /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin and you
specify the following parameter:
INSTRPREFIX=shipping
For the RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.GENERAL file, the resulting

file name looks like this:
/opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/shipping.RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.GENERAL
If you do not specify the INSTRPREFIX parameter, Tivoli Storage Manager
selects the prefix in one of these ways:
v If the SET DRMINSTRPREFIX command has been issued, Tivoli Storage
Manager uses the prefix specified in that command.
v If the SET DRMINSTRPREFIX command has not been issued, Tivoli Storage
Manager uses the current working directory.
For example, if the current working directory is /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/
bin, for the RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.GENERAL file, the resulting file
name would be:
/opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.GENERAL
PRIMstgpool
Specifies the names of the primary storage pools that you want to restore.
Separate the storage pool names with commas and no intervening spaces. You
can use wildcard characters. If this parameter is not specified, Tivoli Storage
Manager selects the storage pools as follows:
v If the SET DRMPRIMSTGPOOL command has been issued, Tivoli Storage
Manager includes the primary storage pools named in that command.
v If the SET DRMPRIMSTGPOOL command has not been issued, Tivoli Storage
Manager includes all the primary storage pools.
COPYstgpool
Specifies the names of the copy storage pools used to back up the primary
storage pools that you want to restore (see the PRIMSTGPOOL parameter).
Separate storage pool names with commas and no intervening spaces. You can
use wildcard characters. If this parameter is not specified, Tivoli Storage
Manager selects the storage pools as follows:
v If the SET DRMCOPYSTGPOOL command has been issued, Tivoli Storage
Manager includes those copy storage pools.
v If the SET DRMCOPYSTGPOOL command has not been issued, Tivoli Storage
Manager includes all copy storage pools.
ACTIVEDatastgpool
Specifies the names of the active-data storage pools that you want to have
available for offsite access. Separate active-data storage-pool names with
commas and no intervening spaces. You can use wildcard characters. If this
parameter is not specified, Tivoli Storage Manager selects the storage pools as
follows:
v If the SET ACTIVEDATASTGPOOL command has been previously issued with
valid active-data storage pool names, Tivoli Storage Manager processes those
storage pools.
v If the SET ACTIVEDATASTGPOOL command has not been issued, or all of the
active-data storage pools have been removed using the SET
ACTIVEDATASTGPOOL command, Tivoli Storage Manager processes only the
active-data pool volumes that were marked on-site at the time the PREPARE
command is run. Tivoli Storage Manager will mark these volumes as
UNAVAILABLE.
Wait
Specifies whether this command is processed in the background or foreground.
No Specifies background processing. This is the default.
Yes
Specifies foreground processing.
You cannot specify YES from the server console.
Example: Create a recovery plan file

QUERY ACTLOG (Query the activity log)
Use this command to display messages generated by the server and client. This
command provides filtering options that can be used to limit the number of
messages displayed and the time that it takes to process this query. If you do not
specify any parameters with this command, all messages generated in the previous
hour are displayed.
The activity log contains all messages that are sent to the server console under
normal operation. The results of commands entered at the server console are not
recorded in the activity log unless the command affects or starts a background
process or client session. Error messages are displayed in the activity log.
Restriction: You cannot schedule the QUERY ACTLOG command by using the DEFINE
SCHEDULE command.

QUERY AUDITOCCUPANCY (Query client node storage
utilization)
Use this command to display information about client node server storage
utilization. To display current license audit information from the server, use the
AUDIT LICENSE command before you issue the QUERY AUDITOCCUPANCY command.
As part of a license audit operation, the server calculates, by node, the amount of
backup, archive, and space management storage in use. For servers that manage
large amounts of data, this calculation can take a great deal of processor time and
can stall other server activity. You can use the AUDITSTORAGE server option to
specify that storage is not to be calculated as part of a license audit.
You can use the information from this query to determine if and where client node
storage utilization must be balanced. This information can also assist you with

Field descriptions
Node Name
Specifies the name of the client node whose data is contained in the
backup set.
Filespace Name
Specifies the name of the file space to which the specified file belongs.
File space names can be in a different code page or locale than the server.
If they are, the names in the Operations Center and the administrative
command-line interface might not be displayed correctly. Data is backed
up and can be restored normally, but the file space name or file name
might be displayed with a combination of invalid characters or blank
spaces.
If the file space name is Unicode-enabled, Tivoli Storage Manager converts
the name to the server code page for display. The success of the conversion
depends on the operating system, the characters in the name, and the
server code page. Conversion can be incomplete if the string includes
characters that are not available in the server code page or if the server
cannot access system conversion routines. If the conversion is incomplete,
the name might contain question marks, blanks, unprintable characters, or
ellipses (...).
Client's Name for File
Specifies the name of the file.
File space names and file names that can be in a different code page or
locale than the server do not display correctly in the Operations Center or
the administrative command-line interface. The data itself is backed up and
can be restored properly, but the file space or file name may display with a
combination of invalid characters or blank spaces.
If the file space name is Unicode enabled, the name is converted to the
server's code page for display. The results of the conversion for characters
not supported by the current code page depends on the operating system.
For names that Tivoli Storage Manager is able to partially convert, you
may see question marks (??), blanks, unprintable characters, or “...”. These
characters indicate to the administrator that files do exist. If the conversion
is not successful, the name is displayed as “...”. Conversion can fail if the
string includes characters that are not available in the server code page, or
if the server has a problem accessing system conversion routines.
A file name that is displayed as “......” indicates that both the file path and
file name were not successfully converted. An example of the path and
name could be:
my\dir\...

QUERY CONTENT (Query the contents of a storage pool
volume)
Use this command to display information about files in a storage pool volume, and
the names of client files that link to a deduplicated group of files.
You can use this command to identify files that the server found to be damaged
and files that were backed up to a copy storage pool or copied to an active-data
pool. This command is useful when a volume is damaged or before you:
v Request the server to fix inconsistencies between a volume and the database
v Move files from one volume to another volume
v Delete a volume from a storage pool
Because this command can take a long time to run and the results can be large,
consider using the COUNT parameter to limit the number of files displayed.
Note: Files that are cached in a disk volume and that are marked as damaged are
not included in the results.

wildcard characters to specify this name. File space names are case-sensitive. If
you do not specify a file space name, all file spaces are included.
For a server that has clients with Unicode support, you might need to have the
server convert the file space name that you enter. For example, you might need
to have the server convert the name that you enter from the server's code page
to Unicode. See the NAMETYPE parameter for details. If you do not specify a file
space name or specify only a single wildcard character for the name, you can
use the CODETYPE parameter to limit the operation to Unicode file spaces or
COUnt
Specifies the number of files to be displayed. This parameter is optional. You
can specify either a positive integer or a negative integer. If you specify a
positive integer, n, the first n files are displayed. If you specify a negative
integer, -n, the last n files are displayed in reverse order. You cannot specify
COUNT=0. If you do not specify a value for this parameter, all files are
displayed.
Type
Specifies the types of files to query. This parameter is optional. The default
value is ANY. If the volume that is being queried is assigned to an active-data
pool, the only valid values are ANY and BACKUP. Possible values are:
ANY
Specifies that all types of files in the storage pool volume are queried;
backup versions of files, archived copies of files, and files that are migrated
by Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management clients from client nodes.
Backup
Specifies that only backup files are queried.

DAmaged
Specifies criteria to restrict the query output based on whether files are marked
as damaged. For purposes of this criteria, the server examines only physical
files (a file that might be a single logical file or an aggregate that consists of
logical files). This parameter is optional. The default value is ANY. Possible
values are:
ANY
Specifies that files are displayed regardless of whether the server found the
files to be damaged.
Yes
Specifies that only files that are marked as damaged are displayed. These
are files in which the server found errors when a user attempted to restore,
retrieve, or recall the file, or when an AUDIT VOLUME command was run.
No Specifies that only files not known to be damaged are displayed.
COPied
Specifies criteria to restrict the query output based on whether files were
backed up to a copy storage pool. Whether files are stored in an active-data
pool does not affect the output. This parameter is optional. The default value is
ANY. Possible values are:
ANY
Specifies that files are displayed regardless of whether the files are backed
up to a copy storage pool. Primary and cached file copies are displayed.
Yes
Specifies that the files displayed are only those for which at least one
usable backup copy exists in a copy storage pool. A file is not displayed if
its copy in the copy storage pool is known to have errors. Cached file
copies are not displayed because these files are never restored.
Use COPIED=YES to identify primary files that can be restored using the
RESTORE VOLUME or RESTORE STGPOOL command.

Hexadecimal Filespace Name
The file space to which the file belongs. If the file space name is in
Unicode, the name is displayed in hexadecimal format.
FSID The file space ID (FSID) for the file space. The server assigns a unique
FSID when a file space is first stored on the server.
Client's Name for File
The client's name for the file.
File space names and file names that can be in a different code page or
locale than the server do not display correctly in the Operations Center or
the administrative command-line interface. The data itself is backed up and
can be restored properly, but the file space or file name might display with
a combination of invalid characters or blank spaces. The results of the
conversion for characters that are not supported by the current code page
depends on the operating system. For names that Tivoli Storage Manager
is able to partially convert, you might see question marks (??), blanks,
unprintable characters, or "...". These characters indicate to the
administrator that files do exist.
Hexadecimal Client's Name for File
The client's name for the file that is displayed in hexadecimal format.
Aggregated?
Whether the file is a logical file that is stored as part of an aggregate. If the
file is part of an aggregate, the sequence of this file within the aggregate
and the total number of logical files in the aggregate are displayed. Results
of the command include all logical files that make up any aggregate that is
on the volume, even if the aggregate is stored on more than this volume.
The query does not determine which logical files are actually stored on the
volume for which the query is performed.
If the file is not part of an aggregate, the field displays "no".

Stored Size
The size of the physical file, in bytes. If the file is a logical file that is
stored as part of an aggregate, this value indicates the size of the entire
aggregate.
Segment Number
For volumes in sequential-access storage pools, specifies whether the
physical file (either a single logical file or an aggregate of logical files) is
stored across multiple volumes. For example, if the logical file is stored in
an aggregate that spans two volumes, the segment number indicates 1/2
(the first part of the physical file is stored on the volume) or 2/2 (the
second part of the physical file is stored on the volume). If the segment
number is 1/1, the physical file is completely stored on the volume. For
volumes in random-access storage pools, no value is displayed for this
field.
Cached Copy?
Whether the physical file is a cached copy of a file migrated to the next
storage pool. If the file is part of an aggregate, this value pertains to the
aggregate.
Linked?
Indicates whether the file is stored on the volume or whether the file is
linked to the volume.
Fragment Number
Specifies the fragment number. If the fragment number is blank, it is either
the first fragment or not a fragment.

Cleaning Frequency (Gigabytes/ASNEEDED/NONE): NONE
Field descriptions
Library Name
The name of the library to which the drive is assigned.
Drive Name
The name assigned to the drive.
Device Type
The device type as specified in the associated device class. The server must
have a path defined from the server to the drive in order to determine the
true device type. As long as there is a path defined from the server to the
drive, the server will display the true device type of the drive even if there
are other paths defined to this drive. Exceptions to this occur if the device
type is remote or unknown.
REMOTE
The server does not have a path to the device. The only defined
paths to the device are from data movers.
UNKNOWN
No path exists.
Tip: Review the output of the QUERY PATH command to determine if the
desired paths are defined. If they are not defined, define those desired
paths using the DEFINE PATH command. Also, if using a data mover device,
review the output of the QUERY DATAMOVER command to determine the type
of the data mover device. If you are using a path from the server to a
drive, the device type of the device class and the drive need to match. If
you are using a path from a data mover device to a drive, review the
documentation for your type of data mover to ensure the device type of
the device class is compatible with the type of data mover device.
On Line
Specifies the status of the drive:
Yes The drive is online and available for server operations.
No The drive is offline and was put in this state by an administrator
updating the status.
Unavailable Since
Specifies that the drive has been unavailable since mm/dd/yy
hh:mm:ss. Output shows the time the server marked the drive as
unavailable.
Polling Since
Specifies that the server is polling the drive because the drive

stopped responding. Output shows the time the server detected a
problem and began polling. The server polls a drive before stating
it is unavailable. The time output follows the format: mm/dd/yy
hh:mm:ss.
If your drive is controlled by the Tivoli Storage Manager device
driver or the IBM tape driver, any device special files created by
the Oracle Solaris st device driver for this drive must be deleted to
prevent multiple device drivers from accessing the drive. If any st
device-driver special files for the drive are detected on the system,
the drive is put into polling state. Error messages are displayed to
let you know that the issue must be resolved before the drive can
be used. To fix this issue, run the rmstdev utility to locate and
delete the st device special files. If the problem is not fixed after
one hour, the drive is taken offline.
For more information on conditions under which the server will
poll, see the Administrator's Guide.
Drive State
This specifies the current state of this particular drive based on the result
of the last SCSI command to the drive or library. The server tracks the state
of the drive to improve its selection of a drive for an operation and its
drive recovery operations. The values are:
Unavailable
The drive is not available to the library for operations.
Empty The drive is empty and ready for operations.
Loaded
The drive is currently loaded, and the server is performing
operations to the drive.
Unloaded
The media has been ejected from the drive.
Reserved
The drive is reserved for a mount request.
Unknown
The drive begins in drive state unknown as a result of being
defined, as a result of server initialization, or as a result of having
its status updated to online.
ACS DriveId
The ID that specifies the physical location of the drive in an ACSLS library.
This drive ID is specified as a,l,p,d, where a is the ACSID, l is the LSM
(library storage module), p is the panel number, and d is the drive ID.
Allocated To
The name of the library client that is currently using the drive. This applies
to shared SCSI libraries only; the field is left blank for all other libraries.
Who performed the last update to the drive.
The date and time when the last update occurred.
Cleaning Frequency
How often the server activates drive cleaning. This value can be the
number of gigabytes, NONE, or ASNEEDED.

QUERY DRMEDIA (Query disaster recovery media)
Use this command to display information about database backup and copy storage
pool volumes. You can also use the command to create a file of executable
commands to process the volumes.
Remember: The QUERY DRMEDIA command always processes eligible copy

storage-pool volumes. (For details about eligible copy storage pool volumes, see
the description of the COPYSTGPOOL parameter in this command). By default,
volumes in active-data pools are not eligible for processing by the disaster recovery
manager. To process active-data pool volumes, you must issue the SET
DRMACTIVEDATASTGPOOL command, or you must use the ACTIVEDATASTGPOOL
parameter on the QUERY DRMEDIA command. Depending on the setting for the
SOURCE parameter in this command, database backups (full and incremental
types, or snapshot types) can also be processed. The other parameters of the
command (such as WHERESTATE) can further limit the results of the query.
If you are using an external library and have moved a volume to the
NOTMOUNTBLE state using the MOVE DRMEDIA command, the QUERY DRMEDIA
command might still report the volume state as MOUNTABLE if it detects that the
volume is in the library. Refer to the external library documentation for
information about the procedures that you should follow when using the MOVE
DRMEDIA and the QUERY DRMEDIA commands.

Parameters
volume_name
Specifies the names of the database backup and copy storage pool volumes to
be queried. You can use wildcard characters to specify multiple names. This
parameter is optional. The server looks for matching names among the
following eligible volumes:
v Database backup volumes, as selected by the SOURCE parameter of this
command.
v Copy storage pool volumes from copy storage pools named in the
COPYSTGPOOL parameter. If you do not use the COPYSTGPOOL
parameter, the server queries volumes from copy storage pools previously
selected by the SET DRMCOPYSTGPOOL command.
Other parameters can also limit the results of the query.
WHEREState
Specifies the state of volumes to be processed. This parameter is optional. The
default is ALL. Possible values are:
All
Specifies all volumes in all states.
MOuntable
Volumes in this state contain valid data and are accessible for onsite
processing.
NOTMOuntable
Volumes in this state are onsite, contain valid data, and not accessible for
onsite processing.
COUrier
Volumes in this state are being moved to an offsite location.
VAult
Volumes in this state are offsite, contain valid data, and are not accessible
for onsite processing.

VAULTRetrieve
Volumes in this state are located at the offsite vault, do not contain valid
data and can be moved back onsite for reuse or disposal:
v A copy storage pool volume is considered to be in the VAULTRETRIEVE
state if it has been empty for at least the number of days specified with
the REUSEDELAY parameter on the DEFINE STGPOOL command.
v A database backup volume is considered to be in the VAULTRETRIEVE
state if it is associated with a database backup series that was expired
based on the value specified using the SET DRMDBBACKUPEXPIREDAYS
command.
Important: When you issue QUERY DRMEDIA

WHERESTATE=VAULTRETRIEVE, the server dynamically determines
which volumes can be moved back onsite for reuse or disposal. Therefore,
to ensure that you identify all volumes that are in a VAULTRETRIEVE
state, issue QUERY DRMEDIA WHERESTATE=VAULTRETRIEVE without the
BEGINDATE, ENDDATE, BEGINTIME or ENDTIME parameters. The Last
Update Date/Time field in the output for QUERY DRMEDIA
WHERESTATE=VAULTRETRIEVE displays the date and time that a volume was
moved to the VAULT state, not VAULTRETRIEVE.
COURIERRetrieve
Volumes in this state are being moved back to the onsite location.
REmote
Volumes in this state contain valid data and are located at the offsite
remote server.
BEGINDate

Source
Specifies whether any database backup volumes are selected. This parameter is
optional. The default is DBBACKUP. Possible values are:
DBBackup
Full and incremental database backup volumes are selected.
DBSnapshot
Snapshot database backup volumes are selected.
DBNone
No database backup volumes are selected.
ACTIVEDatastgpool
Specifies the name of the active-data storage pool whose volumes are to be
specify this name. The active-data pools that are specified with this parameter
override those specified with the SET DRMACTIVEDATASTGPOOL command.
If this parameter is not specified, Tivoli Storage Manager selects the storage
pools as follows:
v If the SET ACTIVEDATASTGPOOL command was previously issued with valid
active-data pool names, Tivoli Storage Manager processes only those storage
pools.
v If the SET ACTIVEDATASTGPOOL command has not been issued, or all of the
active-data pools have been removed using the SET ACTIVEDATASTGPOOL
command, Tivoli Storage Manager processes all active-data pool volumes in
the specified state (ALL, NOTMOUNTABLE, COURIER, VAULT,
VAULTRETRIEVE, COURIERRETRIEVE, or REMOTE). Volumes in the
MOUNTABLE state are not processed.
Format
Specifies the information to be displayed. This parameter is optional. The
Standard
Detailed
Specifies that detailed information is displayed.
Cmd
Specifies that executable commands are built for the selected volumes. If
you specify FORMAT=CMD, you must also specify the CMD parameter.
WHERELOcation
Specifies the location of the volumes to be queried. This parameter is optional.
The maximum length of the location is 255 characters. Enclose the text in
quotation marks if it contains any blank characters. If you specify a target

server name, the disaster recovery manager displays all database backup
volumes and copy storage pool volumes located on the target server.
CMd
Specifies the creation of executable commands to process the volume name and
location obtained by this command. This parameter is optional. You must
enclose the command specification in quotation marks. The maximum length
of this parameter is 255 characters. The disaster recovery manager writes the
commands to a file specified by the CMDFILENAME parameter or the SET
DRMCMDFILENAME command, or generated by the QUERY DRMEDIA command. If the
command length is greater than 240 characters, it is split into multiple lines
and continuation characters (+) are added. You may need to alter the
continuation character according to the product that runs the commands.
If you do not specify the FORMAT=CMD parameter, this command will not
create any command lines.
string
The command string. The string must not include embedded quotation
marks. For example, this is a valid CMD parameter:
This is an example of a CMD parameter that is not valid:

cmd=""checkin libvolume lib8mm" &vol status=scratch""
substitution
Specifies a substitution variable to tell QUERY DRMEDIA to substitute a
value for the variable. The variables are not case-sensitive, and must not
contain blank spaces after the ampersand (&). The possible variables are:
&VOL
A volume name variable.
&LOC
A volume location.
&VOLDSN
The name of the file the server writes into the sequential access media
labels. An example of a copy storage pool tape volume file name using
the default prefix TSM is TSM.BFS. An example of a database backup
tape volume file name using a prefix TSM310 defined with the device
class is TSM310.DBB.
&NL
The new line character. When &NL is specified, QUERY DRMEDIA
command splits the command at the &NL variable and does not
append a continuation character. You must specify the proper
continuation character before the &NL if one is required. If the &NL is
not specified and the command line is greater than 240 characters, the
line is split into multiple lines and continuation characters (+) are
added.
CMDFilename
Specifies the fully qualified name of the file to contain the commands specified
with CMD parameter. This parameter is optional.
If you do not specify a name with the SET DRMCMDFILENAME command,
Tivoli Storage Manager creates a file name by appending exec.cmds to the
absolute directory path name of the Tivoli Storage Manager instance directory.
If you specify a null string (" ") the commands are displayed on the console
only. You can redirect the commands to a file using the redirection character
for the operating system.
If the operation fails after the command file has been created, the file is not
deleted.
APPend
Specifies whether to overwrite any existing contents of the command file or
append the commands to the file. This parameter is optional. The default is
NO. Possible values are:
No The disaster recovery manager overwrites the contents of the file.
Yes
The disaster recovery manager appends the commands to the file.

Field descriptions
Policy Domain Name
Specifies the name of the policy domain to which the schedule is assigned.
Schedule Name
Specifies the name of the schedule that initiated this event.
Node Name
Specifies the client that is scheduled to perform the operation.
Scheduled Start
Specifies the scheduled starting date and time for the event.
Actual Start
Specifies the date and time at which the client began processing the
scheduled operation. No information is displayed if the scheduled
operation has not started.
Completed
Specifies the date and time the scheduled event is completed.
Status Specifies the status of the event at the time the QUERY EVENT command is
issued. The following values are possible:
Completed
Specifies that the scheduled event is completed.
Failed Specifies that the client reports a failure when you run the
scheduled operation and successive retries failed.
Failed - no restart
Specifies an intermediate status, when a client session is
interrupted by a communications error or timeout on the server.
This status can be changed to a final status of "Completed" or
"Failed" when the event completes.
Future Specifies that the beginning of the startup window for the event is
in the future. This status also indicates that an event record has not
been created for this event.
In Progress
Specifies that the scheduled event is running and has not yet
reported the completion state to the server.
Periodically check the status for completion of the scheduled event.
If this status is not updated in a reasonable amount of time, review
your client dsmsched.log and dsmerror.log to determine why the
client did not report the outcome of this event to the server. If the
scheduled backup failed, rerun the scheduled event or perform a
manual incremental backup to ensure the data backup.
Missed
Specifies that the scheduled startup window for this event passed
and the schedule did not begin.
Pending
Specifies that the QUERY EVENT command was issued during the
startup window for the event, but processing the scheduled
operation did not begin.
Restarted
Specifies that the client has tried to process the scheduled
operation again.
Severed
Specifies that the communications with the client is severed before
the event can complete.
Started
Specifies that the event has begun processing.
Uncertain
Specifies that the state of the event cannot be determined. The
server specifies Uncertain if the QUERY EVENT command does not
find an event record. An event record is not found if the record
was deleted or if the server was unavailable during the scheduled
startup window (the schedule was never started). Records with
Uncertain status are not stored in the database. If you do not want
these records to display, either specify EXCEPTIONSONLY=YES or
delete the schedule if it is no longer needed.
Attention: When a scheduled operation is processing, and is not restarted

within its specified duration, the Status field shows Started. If the
operation continues beyond the specified duration, no event record is
created. If a query is issued after the specified duration has passed, the
Status shows as Failed even if the operation is still running. After the
operation completes, an event record is created, and a subsequent query
shows the result in the Status field.
Result Specifies the return code from the client that identifies whether the
schedule processed successfully. If the return code is other than a zero,
examine the client's error log and schedule log.
Return code Explanation

0 All operations completed successfully.
4 The operation completed successfully, but some files were not
processed.
8 The operation completed with at least one warning message.
12 The operation completed with at least one error message (except for
error messages for skipped files).
If a schedule has ACTION=COMMAND as a parameter, and the command

is not a Tivoli Storage Manager command, the command can produce
other values in the Result field. See the Backup-Archive Clients Installation
and User's Guide for details.
Reason
Specifies the reason for the return code.

Specifies the scheduled starting date and time for the event.
Actual Start
Specifies the date and time at which the client began processing the
scheduled operation. No information displays if the schedule has not
started executing.
Schedule Name
Specifies the name of the schedule that initiated this event.
Status For administrative commands or scripts that specify WAIT=YES, the status
of a scheduled event is STARTED until the operation specified by the
command or script is completed. The final status of the scheduled event
depends on the return code of the operation. However, if WAIT=YES and
if the schedule is running a script that specifies PREVIEW=YES, the final
status is COMPLETED, unless the script contained a syntax error.
For administrative commands or scripts that specify WAIT=NO, the status
of a scheduled event is COMPLETED if the scheduled command or script
started. The success of the schedule is independent of the success of the
operation performed by the command or script.

Field descriptions
Export identifier
The unique identifier assigned to this server-to-server export operation.
Start time
The time and date that this export operation was first initiated.
State The current state of this export operation. The value is one of the
following:
Running - Not Suspendible
The operation is active and is transmitting definitions to the target
server. The process cannot be suspended, and if the process fails
while in this state, you cannot restart it.
Running
The operation is active and is either searching for eligible files or
transmitting file data to the target server.
Running - Suspend in Progress
The operation is in the process of being suspended as a result of a
SUSPEND EXPORT command. The export operation is fully suspended
when all of the data from the export operation is saved. An export
operation in this state does not respond to the following
commands:
v CANCEL PROCESS
v CANCEL EXPORT
v RESTART EXPORT
v SUSPEND EXPORT
Suspended
The operation stopped running due to a failure or was suspended
with the SUSPEND EXPORT command.
Process ID
The process ID for the export operation when the status is either
“Initializing” or “Running”.
Command
The full command issued to start this server-to-server export.
Phase The current step that the operation is performing. The possible phases are
shown in the order in which they are performed:
Creating definitions on target server
The operation is exporting definitions. The process cannot be
suspended. Should the process fail in this phase, it cannot be
restarted.
Identifying and exporting eligible files
The operation is building a list of eligible files for export. Some
files may also be transmitted to the target during this phase. A
process in this phase can be suspended. Should the process fail in
this phase, it can be restarted.
File list complete. Exporting eligible files
The operation has completed building the list of eligible files for
export and it is now transmitting the files to the target. A process
in this phase can be suspended. Should the process fail in this
phase, it can be restarted.
Total running time

QUERY FILESPACE (Query one or more file spaces)
Use this command to display information about file spaces that belong to a client
node. The output from this command includes the results of the last incremental
backup or replication.
Tip: If a node has more than one file space, you can issue a DELETE FILESPACE
command for one of the file spaces. However, if you issue a QUERY FILESPACE
command for the node during the deletion process, the output shows no file
spaces. To obtain accurate information about remaining file spaces, issue the QUERY
FILESPACE command after the deletion process ends.

Parameters
node_name
Specifies the client node to which the file space belongs. You can use wildcard
characters to specify this name. This parameter is optional. The default is all
client node names.
You must specify a value for this parameter if you specify a file name.
file_space_name
Specifies the name of the file space to be queried. You can use wildcard
characters to specify this name. This parameter is optional. If a value is not
specified, all file spaces are queried.
If a server includes clients that use Unicode-enabled files spaces, the server
might have to convert the name that you enter. For example, the server might
have to convert the file space name that you enter from the server code page
to Unicode. For more information, see the NAMETYPE parameter. If you do not
specify a file space name, or if you specify only a single wildcard character for
the name, you can use the CODETYPE parameter to limit the operation to
Unicode file spaces or to non-Unicode file spaces.
File space names are case-sensitive. You can use the QUERY FILESPACE command
to determine the correct capitalization for the file space to be queried.
Format
default value is STANDARD. You can specify one of the following values:
Standard

Parameters
volume_name
Specifies the name of the sequential access primary or copy storage pool
volume to display. This parameter is optional. You can use a wildcard
character to specify the name. All matching volumes are considered for
processing. If you do not specify this parameter, all volumes defined in the
storage pool specified with the STGPOOL parameter display.
STGpool (Required)
Specifies the name of the sequential access primary or copy storage pool that is
used to select the volumes for processing. You can use wildcard characters to
specify the name. All matching storage pools are processed. If the storage pool
specified is not managed by an automated library, no volumes display.

Days
Specifies the number of days that must elapse, after the volume has been
written to or read from, before the volume is eligible for processing. This
parameter is optional. You can specify a number from 0 to 9999. The default
value is 0. The most recent of the volume's last written date or last read date is
used to calculate the number of days elapsed.
WHERESTATUs
Specifies that the output of the query should be restricted by volume status.
This parameter is optional. You can specify more than one status in a list by
separating each status with a comma and no intervening spaces. If you do not
specify a value for this parameter, all volumes in the specified storage pool,
regardless of their status, are displayed.
FULl
Specifies that volumes with a status of FULL display.
FILling
Specifies that volumes with a status of FILLING display.
EMPty
Specifies that volumes with a status of EMPTY display.
WHEREACCess
Specifies that output should be restricted by volume access mode. This
parameter is optional. If you do not specify a value for this parameter, output
is not restricted by access mode.
READWrite
Specifies that volumes with an access mode of READWRITE display.
READOnly
Specifies that volumes with an access mode of READONLY display.
Format
Specifies how information displays. This parameter is optional. The default
value is STANDARD. Possible values are:
Standard
Specifies that partial information displays for the specified sequential
access storage pool volumes.
Detailed
Specifies that complete information displays for the specified sequential
access storage pool volumes.
Cmd
Specifies that executable commands are built for the storage pool volumes
processed by the QUERY MEDIA command. These commands will be in the
file specified with the CMDFILENAME parameter on the QUERY MEDIA
command. If you want the commands to display on the console only,
specify a null string ("") for the CMDFILENAME. If FORMAT=CMD is
specified but no command string is specified with the CMD parameter, the
QUERY MEDIA command will fail.
WHEREState
Specifies the state of volumes to process. This parameter restricts processing to
volumes that have the specified state. This parameter is optional. The default is
ALL. Possible values are:
All
Specifies that volumes in all states are queried. The valid states are:
MOUNTABLEINLIB and MOUNTABLENOTINLIB.
MOUNTABLEInlib
Specifies that volumes that are currently in the MOUNTABLEINLIB state
are queried. Volumes in the MOUNTABLEINLIB state are in the library,
and are onsite, contain valid data, and are available for onsite processing.
MOUNTABLENotinlib
Specifies that volumes that are currently in the MOUNTABLENOTINLIB
state are queried. Volumes in the MOUNTABLENOTINLIB state are not in
the library, do not contain valid data, and are not available for onsite
processing.
WHEREOVFLOcation
Specifies the overflow location of the volumes to display. This parameter is
optional. This parameter restricts processing to volumes that are in the
specified location. The maximum length of the location is 255 characters. The
location must be enclosed in quotation marks if it contains any blank
characters.
CMd
Specifies the creation of executable commands. Enclose the command
specification in quotation marks. The maximum length of the command
specification is 255 characters. This parameter is optional.
For each volume successfully processed by the QUERY MEDIA command, the
server writes the associated commands to a file. Specify the file name with the
CMDFILENAME parameter.
If you do not specify a filename, the command will generate a default filename
by appending the string exec.cmds.media to the server directory.
Remember:
1. If the command written to the file exceeds 255 characters, it is split into
multiple lines, and a continuation character (+) is added to all but the last
line. You may need to alter the continuation character according to the
requirements of the product that runs the commands.
2. If an executable command is specified with any value for FORMAT other
than CMD, the command string is ignored, and the QUERY MEDIA command
will not write any command line.
Specify a command string and any substitution variables:
string
Specifies the string to build an executable command to process the volume
name or volume location or both. You can specify any free form text for
the string. Do not use embedded quotation marks. For example, the
following is a valid executable command specification:
cmd="checkin libvolume &vol"
The following is an invalid executable command specification:

cmd="checkin libvolume "&vol""
substitution
Specifies a variable for which you want the QUERY MEDIA command to
substitute a value. The possible substitution variables are:

&VOL
Substitute the volume name for &VOL. You can specify lowercase
characters, &vol. No spaces or blanks are allowed between ampersand,
&, and VOL. If there are spaces or blanks between ampersand and
VOL, the QUERY MEDIA command will treat them as strings and no
substitution will be set. If &VOL is not specified, no volume name is
set in the executable command.
&LOC
Substitute the volume location for &LOC. You can specify lowercase
characters, &loc. No spaces or blanks are allowed between ampersand,
&, and LOC. If there are spaces or blanks between ampersand and
LOC, the QUERY MEDIA command will treat them as strings and no
substitution will be set. If &LOC is not specified, no location name is
set in the executable command.
&VOLDSN
Substitute the volume file name for &VOLDSN. An example of a copy
storage pool tape volume file name using the defined prefix IBM Tivoli
Storage Manager310 is IBM Tivoli Storage Manager310.BFS. If
&VOLDSN is not specified, no volume file name is set in the
executable command.
&NL
Substitute the new line character for &NL. When &NL is specified, the
QUERY MEDIA command will split the command at the position where
the &NL is and will not append any continuation character. The user is
responsible for specifying the proper continuation character before the
&NL if one is required. The user is also responsible for the length of
the line written. If the &NL is not specified and the command exceeds
255 characters, the command is split into multiple lines, and a
continuation character (+) is added to all but the last line.
CMDFilename
Specifies the full path name that will contain the commands specified with
CMD parameter when FORMAT=CMD is specified. This parameter is optional.
The maximum length of the file name is 1279 characters.
If you specify "" with the CMDFILENAME parameter, the QUERY MEDIA
command will generate a file name by appending the "exec.cmds.media" to the
server directory. The server directory is the current working directory of the
server process.
If you specify a null string ("") for the CMDFILENAME, the commands built
are displayed on the console only. You can redirect the commands displayed to
a file by using the redirection characters for the operating system (> or >>).
If the filename is not specified, the command will generate a default filename
by appending the string "exec.cmds.media" to the server directory.
The QUERY MEDIA command automatically allocates the file name specified or
generated. If the file name exists, the QUERY MEDIA command will attempt to
use it and the existing data, if any, in the file to be overwritten. You can specify
APPEND=YES to prevent the existing data from being overwritten. If the QUERY
MEDIA command fails after the command file is allocated, the file is not deleted.
APPend
Specifies to write at the beginning or the ending of the command file data.
No Specifies to write the data from the beginning of the command file. If the
given command file exists, its contents are overwritten.
Yes
Specifies to append the command file by writing at the end of the
command file data.

QUERY MOUNT (Display information on mounted sequential

Use this command to display information about the status of one or more
sequential access volumes that are mounted.
Privilege class

Parameters
volume_name
Specifies the name of the mounted sequential access volume. You can use
default is all mounted volumes.
Format
Standard

Example: List all mounted sequential volumes
Display information on all mounted sequential media volumes.

query mount
ANR8330I 3590 volume D6W992 is mounted R/O
in drive RMT1(/dev/rmt1), status: IN USE.
ANR8334I 1 volumes found.
ANR8331I 8MMTAPE volume WPD000 is mounted R/W
in drive 8MM.1 (/dev/3mt), status: DISMOUNTING.
ANR8334I 1 volumes found.
Remember:
1. If the status of a volume is full or if its access mode is read-only (R/O), the
mount mode of the volume is R/O. To determine the status and access mode of
a volume, issue the QUERY VOLUME FORMAT=DETAILED command. If a volume can
be written to (that is, the status is filling or empty), the mount mode of the
volume is read/write (R/W), even if it is only being read.
2. In a storage pool that is associated with the FILE or CENTERA device type, the
server can complete concurrent multiple read-access and one write-access to the
same volume. As a result, a volume in a storage pool with a device type of
FILE or CENTERA can appear to be mounted more than once.

3. In the message ANR8448I, the drive name is listed as UNKNOWN for volumes of
the FILE device type with a non-shared device class. The reason is that no
drive is associated with the volumes; drive names are shown in the file-based
library.
4. If you issue the QUERY MOUNT command while the drive is being cleaned, the
command output continues to show a DISMOUNTING status for the dismounted
volume until the cleaning completes.
Example: Display detailed information about mounted sequential

volumes

Field descriptions
Node Name
The name of the client node.
Platform
The operating system of the client node, as of the last time that the client
node contacted the server. A question mark (?) is displayed until the client
node first accesses the server and reports its operating system type.
Client OS Level
The level of the operating system for the client as of the last time that the
client node contacted the server.

node.
Invalid Sign-on Count
The number of invalid sign-on attempts that were made since the last
successful sign-on. This count can be non-zero only when the invalid
password limit (SET INVALIDPWLIMIT) is greater than zero. When the
number of invalid attempts equals the limit that is set by the SET
INVALIDPWLIMIT command, the node is locked out of the system.
Locked?
Whether the client node is locked out of Tivoli Storage Manager.
Contact
Any contact information for the client node.
Compression
Whether compression is enabled on the client node.
Archive Delete Allowed?
Whether the client node can delete its own archive files.

Optionset
The name of the client option set.
| URL The URL of the Tivoli Storage Manager web client that is configured on the
| client system. You can use the URL in a web browser and in the
| Operations Center to remotely manage the client node.
Node Type
The type of client node. One of the following values is possible:
v Client: a backup-archive client, a Tivoli Storage Manager for Space
Management client, or an application client
v Server: a Tivoli Storage Manager server
v NAS: a NAS file server
The password expiration period of the client node.
Keep Mount Point?
Whether the client node retains a mount point during a session.
Maximum Mount Points Allowed
The number of mount points that a client node can use on the server for
Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management migration and for backup
and archive operations. This parameter does not apply to nodes with a

type of NAS or SERVER. If a client node was registered to a server at
Version 3.7 or later, the value is 0-999, depending on the value that is set
with the MAXNUMMP parameter of the REGISTER NODE command. If the
client node was registered under previous versions of the server and the
MAXNUMMP parameter was not explicitly set by using the UPDATE NODE
command, the value is set to NOLIMIT. The MAXNUMMP value is not
evaluated or enforced during client data read operations such as restore,
retrieve, and Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management recall.
However, mount points in use for data read operations are evaluated
against attempted concurrent data store operations for the same client
node. This evaluation might prevent the data store operations from
acquiring mount points.
Auto Filespace Rename

validation that is enabled, this field specifies whether Tivoli Storage
Manager validates only the file data or all data, which includes file
metadata. You can enable data validation by using the REGISTER NODE or
UPDATE NODE commands.
TCP/IP Name
The host name of the client node as of the last time that the client node
contacted the server. The field is blank if the client software does not
support reporting this information to the server.
TCP/IP Address
The TCP/IP address of the client node as of the last time that the client
node contacted the server. The field is blank if the client software does not
support reporting this information to the server.
Globally Unique ID
The globally unique identifier (GUID) as of the last time that the client
node contacted the server. This GUID identifies the host computer on
which the node is located.
Transaction Group Max
Specifies the number of files per transaction committed that are transferred
between a client and a server. Client performance might be improved by
using a larger value for this option.
Data Write Path
Specifies the transfer path that is used when the client sends data to the
server, storage agent, or both, during storage operations. If a path is
unavailable, the node cannot send any data.
Data transfer path options are ANY, LAN, or LAN-free.
Data Read Path
Specifies the transfer path that is used when the server, storage agent, or
both, read data for a client, during operations such as restore or retrieve. If
a path is unavailable, data cannot be read.
Data transfer path options are ANY, LAN, or LAN-free.
Session Initiation
Controls whether the server or client initiates sessions. The following two
options are available:
v ClientOrServer
v Serveronly
High-level Address
Specifies the client IP address that the server contacts to initiate scheduled
events when SESSIONINITIATION is set to SERVERONLY.
Low-level Address
Specifies the client port number on which the client listens for sessions
from the server when SESSIONINITIATION is set to SERVERONLY.
Specifies the name of the collocation group to which a node belongs. If a
node does not belong to a collocation group, this field is blank.
Tip: If the node contains file spaces that are members of a file space
collocation group, this field is left blank. You can find file space names by
issuing the QUERY FILESPACE command.
Proxynode Target
Specifies which nodes are proxy nodes (agents) for other nodes, in a
space-separated list. If there are no nodes in that type of association, this
field is blank.
Proxynode Agent
Specifies the originating (target) node name for a proxy node session, in a
space separated list. If there are no nodes in that type of association, this
field is blank.
Node Groups
Specifies the name of the node group to which a node belongs. If a node
does not belong to a node group, this field is blank.
Email Address
Specifies the email address of the client node.
Deduplication
The location where data is deduplicated. The value ServerOnly specifies
that data stored by this node can be deduplicated on the server only. The
Clientorserver value specifies that data stored by this node can be
deduplicated on either the client or the server.
Users allowed to back up
Specifies whether a non-root user ID or only a root user ID can back up
files to the server. ALL indicates all users, while ROOT indicates that just
the root user ID can back up files to the server. This output is not available
if the client node operating system is considered a single-user operating
system.
Replication State
Indicates whether the node is enabled for replication. The following values
are possible:
Enabled
The node is configured for replication and ready to replicate.
Disabled
The node is configured for replication but is not ready to replicate.

None The node is not configured for replication.
Replication Mode
Indicates whether the node is configured as the source of or target for
replicated data. If this field is blank, the node is not configured for
replication. The following values are possible:
Send The node is configured as the source of data for replication.
Receive
The node is configured as the target of data for replication.
SyncSend
The data that belongs to the node is to be synchronized with the
node data that is on the target replication server. Synchronization
applies only to nodes whose data was imported from a source
replication server and imported to the target replication server.
Synchronization occurs during replication.

node data that is on the source replication server. Synchronization
applies only to nodes whose data was imported from a source
replication server and imported to the target replication server.
Synchronization occurs during replication.
None The node is not configured for replication.
Replication Source Server
Specifies the source replication server for the client node.
Backup Default Replication Rule
Archive Default Replication Rule
Space Managed Default Replication Rule
The replication rule that applies to back up, archive, and space-managed
data that belongs to the node. The following values are possible:
ALL_DATA
Replicates backup, archive, or space-managed data. The data is
replicated with normal priority.
| ACTIVE_DATA
| Replicates active backup data. The data is replicated with normal
| priority.

Replicates backup, archive, or space-managed data. The data is
replicated with high priority.
DEFAULT
Replicates backup, archive, or space-managed data according to the
domain rule for the data type.
NONE
No data is replicated. For example, if the replication rule for
archive data is NONE, archive data that belongs to the node is not
replicated.

QUERY PVUESTIMATE (Display processor value unit estimate)
Use this command to obtain an estimate of the client devices and server devices
that are being managed by the Tivoli Storage Manager server. In addition, this
command provides an estimate of the processor value unit (PVU) totals for the
server devices.
This command generates a PVU estimate that is based on the number of logical
nodes that are defined to the Tivoli Storage Manager server. By contrast, the
calculation of license obligations is based on the number of physical computers.
There might not be a one-to-one correlation between the number of logical nodes
and the number of physical computers. The report generated by the QUERY
PVUESTIMATE command is an estimate, which is not legally binding.
For purposes of the QUERY PVUESTIMATE command, nodes on Microsoft Windows 7,

Microsoft Windows XP Professional, and Apple systems are assumed to be client
devices. Nodes on all other platforms are considered to be server devices. The
server on which Tivoli Storage Manager is running is also classified as a server
device. However, you can reclassify server devices as client devices if required. If
your system includes retired workstations, test workstations, or others that can be
ignored for purposes of PVU calculation, you can specify them as type other. To
change a node classification, use the UPDATE NODE command or the REGISTER NODE
command.
Note: The PVU information reported by Tivoli Storage Manager is not considered
an acceptable substitute for the IBM License Metric Tool.

QUERY REPLICATION (Query node replication processes)
Use this command to display information about running and ended
node-replication processes.
Important: You cannot display information about running replication processes for
client nodes that are being converted from import and export operations to
replication operations. The conversion process might run for a long time, but it
occurs only once for a client node that is being converted.
By default, records about completed node-replication processes are retained for 30

calendar days. A calendar day consists of 24-hours, from midnight to midnight.
To display the retention period, issue the QUERY STATUS command. Check the value
in the Replication Record Retention Period field. To change the retention period,
issue the SET REPLRETENTION command.

Notes:
1 Do not mix FSIDs (file space identifiers) and file space names in the same
command.
2 Do not specify FSID if you use wildcard characters for the client node name.
Parameters
Specifies the name of the client node to be queried. You can use wildcard
characters when you specify this name, with one exception. If the value of the
NAMETYPE parameter is FSID, do not specify wildcard characters for the client
node name. The FSID value indicates the file space identifier. File spaces with
identical names can have different identifiers in different client nodes.
filespace_name or FSID
Specifies the name of the file space or the file space identifier (FSID) to be
queried. A name or FSID is optional. If you do not specify a name or an FSID,
all file spaces are queried.
filespace_name
Specifies the name of the file space that has data to be queried. File space
names are case-sensitive. To determine the correct capitalization for the file
space, issue the QUERY FILESPACE command. Separate multiple names with
commas with no intervening spaces. When you specify a name, you can
use wildcard characters.
A server that has clients with Unicode-enabled file spaces might have to
convert the file space name. For example, the server might have to convert
a name from the server code page to Unicode. For details, see the NAMETYPE
parameter. If you do not specify a file space name, or if you specify only a
single wildcard character for the name, you can use the CODETYPE
parameter to limit the operation to Unicode file spaces or to non-Unicode
file spaces.
FSID
Specifies the file space identifier for the file space to be queried. The server
uses FSIDs to find the file spaces to replicate. To determine the FSID for a
file space, issue the QUERY FILESPACE command. Separate multiple FSIDs
with commas with no intervening spaces. If you specify an FSID, the value
of the NAMETYPE parameter must be FSID.
NAMEType
enter. You can use this parameter for Tivoli Storage Manager clients that are
Unicode-enabled and that have Windows, Macintosh OS X, or NetWare
operating systems.
Use this parameter only if you enter a partly qualified or fully qualified file
space name. The default value is SERVER. You can specify one of the following
values:
SERVER
The server uses the server code page to interpret file space names.
UNIcode
The server converts file space names from the server code page to the
UTF-8 code page. The success of the conversion depends on the characters
in the name and the server code page. Conversion can fail if the string
includes characters that are not available in the server code page.
Conversion can also fail if the server cannot access system conversion
routines.
FSID
The server interprets file space names by using their file space identifiers.

CODEType
Specifies the type of file spaces to be included in the query. The default value
is BOTH, which means that file spaces are included regardless of code page
type. Use this parameter only if you enter a single wildcard character for the
file space name. You can specify one of the following values:
UNIcode
NONUNIcode
BOTH
Include all file spaces regardless of code page type.
DISplay
Specifies the number of days of node replication history to display. The default
value is 1, which displays information about running node replication
processes and about processes that completed during the current calendar day.
The maximum value is 9999.
You can specify a number that is the same as or less than the number of days
that are specified as the retention period for the replication history records. If
you specify a value that is more than the value of the replication retention
period or more than the number of days that replication records have been
collected, the server displays only the number of replication history records
that are available. For example, suppose that the replication retention period is
30 days and that the replication process has been running for only 10 days. If
you specify DISPLAY=20, only 10 days of replication history are displayed.
PROCessid
Specifies the node replication history that is associated with a particular
process identified by the process identifier. This parameter is optional. If you
do not specify this parameter, all processes are displayed for the number of
days that are specified by the DISPLAY parameter.
Restarting the server can cause the server to reuse process IDs. Reuse of
process IDs can result in duplicate process IDs for separate processes.
STatus
Specifies the status of the node replication processes to query. This parameter
is optional. The default value is ALL. You can specify one of the following
values:
ALl
Specifies all running and ended node-replication processes.
RUnning
Specifies all active node-replication processes that are identifying files or
replicating files to the target replication server.
ENded
Specifies all node replication processes that ended.
FAiled
Specifies all node replication processes that failed.
Format
Standard
Specifies that partial information is displayed for node replication
processes.
Detailed
Specifies that all available information for the node replication processes is
displayed.
Example: Display information about replication processes for a

file space
Display information about replication processes for a file space in client node
PAYROLL. The file space identifier is 10.

target_server_name
Parameters
Specifies the client node that owns the files about which you want information.
You can specify one or more names. If you specify multiple names, separate
the names with commas. Do not use intervening spaces. You can use wildcard
characters to specify multiple names.
Information about client nodes that match the file criteria, but that are not
configured for replication, is not displayed.
server_name
Specifies the name of the replication server to query for replication
information. This parameter is optional. If you do not specify a value for this
parameter, the server that is the default target for replicated data is queried.
As the value for this parameter, you can also specify a server that was
formerly a target for replicated data.
The client nodes that are defined to a replication server can be the source or
the target of replicated data. To determine whether a particular client node is
sending or receiving data, issue the QUERY NODE command. Look for the value
Send or Receive in the Replication Mode field of the output.
To display the name of the active target replication server, issue the QUERY
STATUS command, and look for the name in the Target Replication Server field.

The number of files that are displayed for the replication servers might be different
for the following reasons:
v The output of the QUERY REPLNODE command displays the number of files
obtained from the occupancy table. The occupancy table contains only files that
have a length greater than zero. Files that have a length of 0 and have been
replicated are not reflected in this output.
v If only active data is replicated to the target server, the number of files that are
displayed for the source server will be larger than the number of files that are
displayed on the target server. The reason for the difference is that the source
replication server has both active and inactive data, and the target server has
only active data.
v A client node might have data that was exported from the source replication
server and imported to the target replication server. If that data was
synchronized and if the client node also stored data to the target replication
server, then the number of files on the target replication server will be greater
than the number of files stored as a result of export-and-import operations and
replication.

Comm. Method
Specifies the method that is used by the client to communicate with the
server.
Sess State
Specifies the current communications state of the server. The following
states are possible:
End The session is ending (session resources are released).
IdleW Waiting for client's next request (session is idle).
MediaW
The session is waiting for access to a sequential access volume.
RecvW
Waiting to receive an expected message from the client.
Run The server is running a client request (and not waiting to send
data).
SendW
The server is waiting to send data to the client (waiting for data to
be delivered to the client node that was already sent).
Start The session is starting (authentication is in progress).

Wait Time
Specifies the amount of time (seconds, minutes, or hours) the server is in
the current state shown.
Bytes Sent

for the session. The list of mount points specifies the device class and the
associated storage pool. The list of volumes specifies the primary storage
pool volumes in addition to any copy storage pool and active-data pool
volumes along with their assigned storage pool.
The server allows multiple sessions to read and one session to write to a
volume concurrently in a storage pool that is associated with the FILE or
CENTERA device type. As a result, a volume in a storage pool with a
device type of FILE or CENTERA can appear as the current volume for
more than one session.
Proxy by Storage Agent

Field descriptions
Storage Pool Name
The name of the storage pool.
Storage Pool Type
The type of storage pool.
Device Class Name
The name of the device class that is assigned to the storage pool.
Estimated Capacity
The estimated capacity of the storage pool in megabytes (M) or gigabytes
(G).
For DISK devices, estimated capacity is the capacity of all volumes in the
storage pool, including any volumes that are varied offline.
For sequential-access storage pools, estimated capacity is the total
estimated space of all the sequential-access volumes in the storage pool,
regardless of their access mode. At least one volume must be used in a

sequential-access storage pool (either a scratch volume or a private
volume) to calculate estimated capacity.
For tape and FILE, the estimated capacity for the storage pool includes the
following factors:
v The capacity of all the scratch volumes that the storage pool already
acquired or can acquire. The number of scratch volumes is defined by
the MAXSCRATCH parameter on the DEFINE STGPOOL or UPDATE STGPOOL
command.
v The capacity of all the private volumes that are defined to the storage
pool when using the DEFINE VOLUME command.
v The estimated capacity of the storage pool cannot be more than the
capacity of the total file systems that are used by the device class.
The calculations for estimated capacity depend on the available space of
the storage for the device that is assigned to the storage pool. For FILE
storage pools, the capacity for the storage pool is reduced if the available
storage falls below the total estimated space of all the FILE volumes in the
storage pool. The value that is displayed for capacity is reduced by the size
of a FILE volume incrementally as the available space continues to decline.
For Centera, this represents the total capacity of the Centera storage device
that is being queried.
Space Trigger Util
Utilization of the storage pool, as calculated by the storage pool space
trigger, if any, for this storage pool. You can define space triggers for
storage pools that are associated with DISK or FILE device types only.
For sequential access devices, space trigger utilization is expressed as a
percentage of the number of used bytes on each sequential access volume
relative to the size of the volume, and the estimated capacity of all existing
volumes in the storage pool. It does not include potential scratch volumes.
Unlike the calculation for percent utilization (Pct Util), the calculation for
space trigger utilization favors creation of new private file volumes by the
space trigger over usage of additional scratch volumes.
For disk devices, space trigger utilization is expressed as a percentage of
the estimated capacity, including cached data. However, it excludes data
that resides on any volumes that are varied offline. The value for space
trigger utilization can be higher than the value for percent migration (Pct
Migr) if you issue QUERY STGPOOL while a file creation is in progress. The
value for space trigger utilization is determined by the amount of space
that is allocated while the transaction is in progress. The value for percent
migration represents only the space that is occupied by committed files. At
the end of the transaction, these values are synchronized.
The value for space trigger utilization includes cached data on disk
volumes. Therefore, when cache is enabled and migration occurs, the value
remains the same because the migrated data remains on the volume as
cached data. The value decreases only when the cached data expires or
when the space that cached files occupy must be used for no-cached files.
Pct Util
An estimate of the utilization of the storage pool, as a percentage.
For sequential access devices, this is expressed as a percentage of the
number of active bytes on each sequential access volume and the estimated
capacity of all volumes in the storage pool, including the number of
potential scratch volumes that might be allocated.
For disk devices, this is expressed as a percentage of the estimated
capacity, including cached data and data that resides on any volumes that
are varied offline. The value for Pct Util can be higher than the value for
Pct Migr if you issue this command while a file creation transaction is in
progress. The value for Pct Util is determined by the amount of space
allocated (while the transaction is in progress). The value for Pct Migr
represents only the space that is occupied by committed files. At the end of
the transaction, these values become synchronized.
The Pct Util value includes cached data on disk volumes. Therefore, when
cache is enabled and migration occurs, the Pct Util value remains the same
because the migrated data remains on the volume as cached data. The Pct
Util value decreases only when the cached data expires or when the space
that cached files occupy must be used for noncached files.
For Centera, this represents an estimate of the utilization of the entire
Centera storage device, not the storage pool that is being queried.
Pct Migr (primary storage pools only)
An estimate of the percentage of data in the storage pool that can be
migrated. The server uses this value and the high and low migration
thresholds to determine when to start and stop migration.
For random-access disk devices, this value is specified as a percentage of
the value for the estimated capacity, excluding cached data, but including
data on any volumes varied offline.
For sequential-access disk devices, this value is specified as a percentage of
the value for the estimated capacity, including the capacity of all the
scratch volumes that are specified for the pool. For other types of
sequential-access devices, this value is the percentage of the total number
of volumes in the pool that contain at least one byte of active data. The
total number of volumes includes the maximum number of scratch
volumes.
The Pct Util value includes cached data on a volume; the Pct Migr value
excludes cached data. Therefore, when cache is enabled and migration
occurs, the Pct Migr value decreases but the Pct Util value remains the
same because the migrated data remains on the volume as cached data.
The Pct Util value decreases only when the cached data expires or when
the space that cached files occupy must be used for noncached files.
Pct Logical
The logical occupancy of the storage pool as a percentage of the total
occupancy. Logical occupancy is space that is occupied by client files that
might or might not be part of an aggregate. A Pct Logical value less than
100% indicates that there is vacant space within aggregates in the storage
pool.
High Mig Pct (primary storage pools only)
The high migration threshold, which specifies when the server can begin
migration for the storage pool. The server starts migration processes when
capacity utilization reaches this threshold.
Low Mig Pct (primary storage pools only)
The low migration threshold, which specifies when the server can stop
migration for the storage pool. The server stops migration processes when
capacity utilization reaches this threshold.
Migration Delay (primary storage pools only)
The minimum number of days that a file must remain in a storage pool

before the server can migrate the file to the next storage pool. For a disk
storage pool, the days are counted from the time that the file was stored in
the storage pool or last retrieved by a client. For a sequential access storage
pool, the days are counted from the time that the file was stored in the
storage pool.
Migration Continue (primary storage pools only)
Whether the server continues to migrate files to the next storage pool even
if the files have not been in the pool for the number of days specified by
the migration delay.
Migration Processes
The number of parallel processes that are used for migrating files from a
random or sequential access primary storage pool.
Reclamation Processes
The number of parallel processes that are used for reclaiming the volumes
in a sequential access primary or copy storage pool.
Next Storage Pool (primary storage pools only)
The storage pool that is the destination for data that is migrated from this
storage pool.
Reclaim Storage Pool (primary, sequential access storage pools only)
If specified, the storage pool that is the destination for data that is moved
from volumes during reclamation processing. If no pool is specified, by
default reclamation processing moves data only among volumes within the
same storage pool.
Maximum Size Threshold (primary storage pools only)
The maximum size of files that might be stored in the storage pool.
Access
How the data in the storage pool can be accessed.
Description
The description of the storage pool.
Overflow Location (sequential access storage pools only)
The location where volumes in the storage pool are stored when they are
ejected from an automated library with the MOVE MEDIA command.
Cache Migrated Files? (random access storage pools only)
Whether caching is enabled for files that are migrated to the next storage
pool.
Collocate? (sequential access storage pools only)
Whether collocation is disabled or enabled. If collocation is disabled, the
value of this field is No. If collocation is enabled, the possible values are
Group, Node, and Filespace.
Reclamation Threshold (sequential access storage pools only)
The threshold that determines when volumes in a storage pool are
reclaimed. The server compares the percentage of reclaimable space on a
volume to this value to determine if reclamation is necessary.
Offsite Reclamation Limit
The number of offsite volumes having their space reclaimed during
reclamation for this storage pool. This field applies only when
POOLTYPE=COPY.
Maximum Scratch Volumes Allowed (sequential access storage pools only)
The maximum number of scratch volumes that the server can request for
the storage pool.
Number of Scratch Volumes Used (sequential access storage pools only)
The number of scratch volumes that are used in the storage pool.
Delay Period for Volume Reuse (sequential access storage pools only)
The number of days that must elapse after all files have been deleted from
a volume before the server returns the volume to scratch or reuses the
volume.
Migration in Progress? (primary storage pools only)
Whether at least one migration process is active for the storage pool.
Amount Migrated (MB) (primary storage pools only)
The amount of data, in megabytes, that has been migrated, if migration is
in progress. If migration is not in progress, this value indicates the amount
of data that was migrated during the last migration. When multiple,
parallel migration processes are used for the storage pool, this value
indicates the total amount of data migrated by all processes.
Elapsed Migration Time (seconds) (primary storage pools only)
The amount of time that has elapsed since migration began, if migration is
active. If migration is not active, this value indicates the amount of time
that is required to complete the last migration. When multiple, parallel
migration processes are used for the storage pool, this value indicates the
total time from the beginning of the first process until the completion of
the last process.

default for the storage pool. The number of duplicate-identification
processes that are specified in this field might not equal the number of
duplicate-identification processes that are running.
Duplicate Data Not Stored
Represents the amount of data that was removed from the storage pool by
reclamation processing. The value of this field also represents the amount
of storage space that was saved in this storage pool as a result of
server-side data deduplication.
Autocopy Mode
Indicates whether data is written simultaneously to copy storage pools or
active-data pools during client store sessions, server import processes,
server data migration processes, or all three operations. The value CLIENT
indicates either client store or server import operations. The value ALL
indicates that simultaneous-write operations occur whenever this pool is a
target for any of the eligible operations.
If the storage pool is a copy storage pool or an active-data pool or if the
simultaneous-write function is disabled, this field is blank.
Contains data deduplicated by clients?
Indicates whether the storage pool contains data that was deduplicated by
clients. Storage pools that contain data that is deduplicated by clients are
not accessible for LAN-free data movement by storage agents V6.1 or
earlier.

Volume Type
The type of volume:
BACKUPFULL
Full database backup volume.
BACKUPINCR
Incremental database backup volume.
BACKUPSET
Client backup set volume.
DBSNAPSHOT
Snapshot database backup volume.
EXPORT
Export volume.
REMOTE
A volume used on the library client, which is the Tivoli Storage
Manager server named in the Volume Location field. See the
volume history on the server that is the library client to get details
about how the volume is used.
RPFILE
Recovery plan file object volume created assuming full and
incremental database backups.
RPFSnapshot
Recovery plan file object volume created assuming snapshot
database backups.
STGDELETE
Deleted sequential access storage pool volume.
STGNEW
Added sequential access storage pool volume.
STGREUSE
Reused sequential access storage pool volume.
Backup Series
The value of this field depends on the volume type:
v For BACKUPFULL or BACKUPINCR volume types: the backup series
identifier.
v For the DBSNAPSHOT volume type: the identifier of the backup series
that is associated with the DBSNAPSHOT entry.
v For the RPFILE volume type: the identifier of the backup series that is
associated with the RPFILE entry.
v For the RPFSNAPSHOT volume type: the identifier of the backup series
that is associated with the RPFSNAPSHOT entry.
v For BACKUPSET volume types: this field is blank.
v For all other volume types: always 0.
A backup series is a full backup and all incremental backups that apply to
that full backup. Another series begins with the next full backup of the
database.
Backup Operation
For BACKUPFULL or BACKUPINCR volume types: the operation number
of this backup volume within the backup series. The full backup within a
backup series is operation 0. The first incremental backup for that full
backup is operation 1, the second incremental backup is operation 2, and
so on.
For DBSNAPSHOT volume types: the operation number of this
DBSNAPSHOT volume within the DBSNAPSHOT series.
For all other volume types: always 0.
This field is blank when the volume type is BACKUPSET.
Volume Seq
The sequence or position of the volume within the backup series.
v For BACKUPFULL or BACKUPINCR volume types: the sequence, or
position, of the volume within the backup series. Volume sequence 1
identifies the first volume used for the first operation (a full backup),
and so on. For example, if the full backup occupies three volumes, these
volumes are identified as volume sequence 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The
first volume of the next operation (the first incremental backup) is then
volume sequence 4.
v For BACKUPSET volume types: the sequence, or position, of the volume
within the BACKUPSET series.
v For DBSNAPSHOT volume types: the sequence, or position, of the
volume within the DBSNAPSHOT series. Volume sequence 1 identifies
the first volume used for the first DBSNAPSHOT operation, and so on.
v For EXPORT volume types: the sequence number of the volume when it
was used for exporting data.
v For RPFILE volume types: the value of this field is always one (1).
v For all other volume types: always 0.
Device Class
The name of the device class associated with this volume.
Volume Name
The name of the volume.
Volume Location
The location of the volume. This information is available only for the
following volume types:
BACKUPFULL
BACKUPINCR
EXPORT
REMOTE
RPFILE
For the volume type of REMOTE, this location field is the server name of
the library client that owns this volume.
For the volume type of RPFILE, this location field is the server name
defined in the device class definition used by the PREPARE command
when the DEVCLASS parameter is specified.

Field descriptions
Volume Name
The name of the storage pool volume.
Storage Pool Name
The storage pool to which the volume is defined.
Device Class Name
The device class that is assigned to the storage pool.
Estimated Capacity
The estimated capacity of the volume, in megabytes (M), gigabytes (G), or
terabytes (T).
For DISK devices, this value is the capacity of the volume.
For sequential access devices, this value is an estimate of the total space
available on the volume, which is based on the device class.
Scaled Capacity Applied
The percentage of capacity to which a volume is scaled. For example, a
value of 20 for a volume whose maximum capacity is 300 GB indicates that
the volume can store only 20 percent of 300 GB, or 60 GB. This attribute
applies only to IBM 3592 devices.
Pct Util
An estimate of the utilization of the volume. The utilization includes all
space that is occupied by both files and aggregates, including empty space
within aggregates.
For DISK volumes, the utilization also includes space that is occupied by
cached data.
Volume Status
The status of the volume.
Access
Whether the volume is available to the server.
Pct. Reclaimable Space (sequential access volumes only)
The amount of space on this volume that can be reclaimed because data
has expired or been deleted. This value is compared to the reclamation
threshold for the storage pool to determine whether reclamation is
necessary. Reclaimable space includes empty space within aggregates.
Storage Manager server first determines the reclamation threshold. The
reclamation threshold is indicated by the value of the THRESHOLD parameter
on the RECLAIM STGPOOL command or, if that value was not specified, the
value of the RECLAIM parameter in a storage pool definition. The server
then examines the percentage of reclaimable space for each volume in the
storage pool. If the percentage of reclaimable space on a volume is greater
that the reclamation threshold of the storage pool, the volume is a
candidate for reclamation.
For example, suppose that storage pool FILEPOOL has a reclamation
threshold of 70 percent. This value indicates that the server can reclaim
any volume in the storage pool that has a percentage of reclaimable space
that is greater that 70 percent. The storage pool has three volumes:

When reclamation begins, the server compares the percent of reclaimable
space for each volume with the reclamation threshold of 70 percent. In this
example, FILEVOL2 and FILEVOL3 are candidates for reclamation because
their percentages of reclaimable space are greater than 70.
For volumes that belong to a SnapLock storage pool, the value is displayed
but is not used.
Scratch Volume? (sequential access volumes only)
Whether this volume is returned to scratch when the volume becomes
empty.
In Error State?
Whether the volume is in an error state. The server cannot write to
volumes in an error state.
Number of Writable Sides
This information is reserved for IBM Tivoli Storage Manager.
Number of Times Mounted
The number of times that the server opened the volume for use. The
number of times that the server opened the volume is not always the same
as the number of times that the volume was physically mounted in a drive.
After a volume is physically mounted, the server can open the same
volume multiple times for different operations, for example for different
client backup sessions.
Write Pass Number (sequential access volumes only)
The number of times the volume was written to from the beginning to the
end.
Approx. Date Last Written
The approximate date on which the volume was last written.
Approx. Date Last Read
The approximate date on which the volume was last read.
Date Became Pending
The date that the status of the volume was changed to pending.
Number of Write Errors
The number of writing errors that occurred on the volume.
Number of Read Errors
The number of reading errors that occurred on the volume.
Volume Location
The location of the volume.
Volume is MVS Lanfree Capable
Whether the volume is LAN-free capable. A LAN-free capable volume is
one that was defined and used (at least once) by the Tivoli Storage
Manager z/OS data manager server.
The administrator that defined or most recently updated the volume.
When the volume was defined or most recently updated.
Begin Reclaim Period
Represents the date after which the Tivoli Storage Manager server begins
reclaiming this volume, but not later than the date represented by the end
reclaim period. If, when the reclaim period begins, there are files on the
volume that have not expired, they are moved to a new WORM volume
during reclamation processing. This field displays a date only if this
volume is in a storage pool for which the value of the
RECLAMATIONTYPE parameter is SNAPLOCK.
If more than one archive is stored on the same volume, the start of the
volume's reclamation period is based on the date of the most recent
archive. For SnapLock volumes, the RETVer parameter of the DEFINE
COPYGROUP command determines how long an archive is stored. If RETVer
is set to 100 days, the volume's reclamation period will start 100 days after
the first archive is stored on it. If a second archive is stored on the same
volume, the reclamation start date will be adjusted to 100 days after the
new archive is stored. If the RETVer value is changed after the first archive
is stored, the latest reclamation date will apply for all of the archives on
the volume. For example, assume RETVer is set to 100 for an initial
archive, but is then changed to 50. If a second archive is stored on the
volume three days after the first, the reclamation period will not start until
100 days after the first archive was stored.
End Reclaim Period
Represents the date by which the Tivoli Storage Manager must complete
reclamation processing on this volume to ensure continued protection of
the data. It also represents the Last Access Date physical file attribute in
the NetApp Filer, which prevents the file from being deleted until after
that date. This field displays a date only if this volume is in a storage pool
for which the value of the RECLAMATIONTYPE parameter is
SNAPLOCK.
Logical Block Protection
Specifies whether logical block protection is enabled for the volume. You
can use logical block protection only with the following types of drives
and media:
v IBM LTO5 and later
v IBM 3592 Generation 3 drives and later with 3592 Generation 2 media
and later
| v Oracle StorageTek T10000C and T10000D drives
Drive Encryption Key Manager
The drive encryption key manager. This field applies only to volumes in a
storage pool that is associated with a device type of 3592, LTO, or
ECARTRIDGE.

RECLAIM STGPOOL (Reclaim volumes in a sequential-access storage
pool)
Use this command to reclaim volumes in a sequential-access storage pool.
Reclamation makes the fragmented space on volumes usable again by moving any
remaining files from one volume to another volume. This action makes the original
volume available for reuse. Reclamation does not move inactive versions of backup
data from volumes in active-data pools. For storage pools defined with
RECLAMATIONTYPE=SNAPLOCK, this command also deletes empty WORM
FILE volumes that have exceeded their reclaim period.
For storage pools that use a Write Once Read Many (WORM) device class,
reclamation is not necessary because WORM volumes are not reusable. However,
you can run reclamation to consolidate data onto fewer volumes. Volumes that are
emptied by reclamation can be checked out of the library, freeing slots for new
volumes.
This command can be used only with sequential access storage pools. The storage
pool data format cannot be NETAPPDUMP, CELERRADUMP, or NDMPDUMP.
Storage pools that are defined with a CENTERA device class cannot be reclaimed.
Use this command only if you are not going to use automatic reclamation for the
storage pool. You can set the RECLAIM parameter of the storage pool definition to
100 to prevent automatic reclamation from running. This command accepts the
values of the RECLAIMPROCESS and RECLAIMSTGPOOL attributes of the storage pool
definition. This command also accepts the values of the OFFSITERECLAIMLIMIT and
RECLAIM parameters of the storage pool definition, if not overridden by the
OFFSITERECLAIMLIMIT and THRESHOLD command parameters. Use caution when you
set the value of the RECLAIM parameter of an active-data pool to 100. Doing so
prevents the removal of inactive versions of backup data.
This command creates one or more reclamation processes that can be canceled with
the CANCEL PROCESS command. The number of processes is limited by the
RECLAIMPROCESS attribute of the storage pool definition. To display information
about background processes, use the QUERY PROCESS command.
Remember: Issuing this command removes duplicate data in a primary storage

pool, copy storage pool, or active-data pool that is set up for data deduplication.
Privilege class
privilege, or restricted storage privilege for the storage pool being reclaimed and
the reclaim storage pool, if applicable.
Syntax
RECLaim STGpool pool_name
THreshold = number
Wait = No

DUration = minutes Wait = No
Yes

OFFSITERECLAIMLimit = number_of_volumes
Parameters
Specifies the storage pool in which volumes are to be reclaimed.
DUration
Specifies the maximum number of minutes that the reclamation runs before
being automatically canceled. You can specify a number from 1 to 9999. This
After the specified number of minutes elapses, the next time the server checks
the reclamation process the server stops the reclamation process. The server
checks the reclamation process when the server mounts another eligible
volume from the storage pool being reclaimed, and when the server begins to
reclaim a new batch of files from the currently mounted volume. As a result,
the reclamation can run longer than the value you specified for this parameter.
Until the server checks the reclamation process, there is no indication that the
duration period has expired. When the server stops the reclamation process,
the server issues message ANR4927W: Reclamation terminated for volume
xxx - duration exceeded.
If you do not specify this parameter, the process stops only when no more
volumes meet the threshold.
If you specify a duration value for reclamation of a copy storage pool with
offsite volumes, you might cause the reclamation to terminate before any
volumes are reclaimed. In most situations when initiating reclamation for a
copy storage pool with offsite volumes, consider limiting the number of offsite
volumes to be reclaimed rather than limiting the duration. For details, see the
OFFSITERECLAIMLIMIT parameter.
THreshold
Specifies the percentage of reclaimable space that a volume must have to be
eligible for reclamation. Reclaimable space is the amount of space that is
occupied by files that are expired or deleted from the Tivoli Storage Manager
database. Reclaimable space also includes unused space.
You can specify a number from 1 to 99. This parameter is optional. If not
specified, the RECLAIM attribute of the storage pool definition is used.
Storage Manager server first determines the reclamation threshold. The server
then examines the percentage of reclaimable space for each volume in the
storage pool. If the percentage of reclaimable space on a volume is greater that
the reclamation threshold of the storage pool, the volume is a candidate for
reclamation.
For example, suppose that storage pool FILEPOOL has a reclamation threshold
of 70 percent. This value indicates that the server can reclaim any volume in
the storage pool that has a percentage of reclaimable space that is greater that
70 percent. The storage pool has three volumes:
on two volumes can be combined into a single target volume.
OFFSITERECLAIMLimit
Specifies the maximum number of offsite storage pool volumes that the server
tries to reclaim. This parameter is valid only for copy storage pools. Limiting
the number of offsite volumes can prevent the server from spending more time
analyzing volumes rather than reclaiming them. You can specify a number
from 0 to 99999. This parameter is optional. If not specified, the
OFFSITERECLAIMLIMIT attribute of the storage pool definition is used.
Wait
in the foreground. This parameter is optional. The default is No. Possible
values are:
cancel this process, some files might have already been moved to new
volumes before the cancellation.
Yes
operation must complete before you can continue with other tasks. Output
messages are displayed to the administrative client when the operation
completes. Messages are also displayed either in the activity log or the
server console, or both, depending on where the messages are logged.
Example: Reclaim volumes in a sequential-access storage pool
Reclaim volumes in the storage pool named TAPEPOOL. Specify that the server
end the reclamation as soon as possible after 60 minutes.

REGISTER LICENSE (Register a new license)
Use this command to register new licenses for server components, including Tivoli
Storage Manager (base), Tivoli Storage Manager Extended Edition, and System
Storage Archive Manager.
Licenses are stored in enrollment certificate files. The enrollment certificate files
contain licensing information for the server product. The NODELOCK file
preserves the licensing information for your installation. Your license agreement
determines what you are licensed to use, even if you cannot use the REGISTER
LICENSE command to register all components. You are expected to comply with
the license agreement and use only what you have purchased. Use of the
REGISTER LICENSE command implies that you agree to and accept the license
terms specified in your license agreement.
Important:
v Before upgrading from a previous version of Tivoli Storage Manager, you must
delete or rename the NODELOCK file.
v To unregister licenses, you must erase the NODELOCK file in the server instance
directory of your installation, and reregister any previously registered licenses.
v You cannot register licenses for Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail, Tivoli Storage
Manager for Databases, Tivoli Storage Manager for ERP, and Tivoli Storage
Manager for Space Management.
To generate a report that can help you understand the license requirements for
your system, run the QUERY PVUESTIMATE command. The report contains estimates
of the number of client devices and PVU totals for server devices. The estimates
are not legally binding.

REGISTER NODE (Register a node)
Use this command to register a node to the server.
This command also automatically creates an administrative user ID with client

owner authority over the node. You can use this administrative user ID to access
the web Backup-Archive Client from remote locations through a web browser. If an
administrative user ID exists with the same name as the node that is being
registered, an administrative user ID is not automatically defined. The client node
is registered without an administrative user ID. This process also applies if your
site uses open registration.
If a client requires a different policy domain than STANDARD, you must register
the client node with this command or update the registered node.
If you do not specify an administrator name or select USERID=NONE, the

administrator is given the same name as the node. To keep the same-named node
and administrator synchronized, the authentication method and the SSLREQUIRED
setting for the administrator are updated to match the node. Passwords that are
shared between same-named nodes and administrators are kept synchronized
during an authentication change.
If you register a node that has the same name as an administrator, the
administrator authentication method and SSLREQUIRED setting change to match the
method and authentication method of the node.
Important: When you set sslrequired=serveronly in a REGISTER NODE command,

the admin SSLREQUIRED setting reverts to YES. To use a non-SSL session with a
storage agent, rename the admin with the identical name by issuing the RENAME
ADMIN command.

Parameters
Specifies the name of the client node to be registered. The maximum length of
the name is 64 characters.
You cannot specify a node name of NONE.
password (Required)
Specifies the client node password, which has a maximum length of 64
characters. A password that authenticates with the Tivoli Storage Manager
server is considered “LOCAL” and is not case-sensitive. A password that
authenticates with an LDAP directory server is considered “LDAP” and is

case-sensitive. See “Naming Tivoli Storage Manager objects” on page 13 for a
table that lists the characters available for specifying a password.
Tip: A password is not required if you register a node and select

PASSExp
password expiration period 0 - 9999 days. A value of 0 means that the
parameter, the server common-password expiration period is used. The
common password expiration period is 90 days unless changed by issuing the
SET PASSEXP command.
You can change the password expiration period by using the UPDATE NODE or
SET PASSEXP commands. You can issue the SET PASSEXP command to set a
common expiration period for all administrators and client nodes. You can also
use the command to selectively set password expiration periods. If you
selectively set a password expiration period by using the REGISTER NODE
command, the UPDATE NODE command, or the SET PASSEXP command, the
expiration period is excluded from common password expiration periods that
were created by using the SET PASSEXP command.
You can use the RESET PASSEXP command to reset the password expiration
period to the common expiration period. The PASSEXP command does not
apply to nodes that authenticate to an LDAP directory server.
USerid
Specifies the administrative user ID with client owner authority. If you do not
specify a user ID, by default an administrative user ID with client owner
authority is created by using the node name of the client node to be registered.
This parameter is optional. When PASSWORDACCESS=GENERATE is used by
the client to change the password, the administrative ID with the same name
can be used to access the web Backup-Archive Client from a remote location.
NONE
Specifies that an administrative user ID is not automatically defined.
user_id
Specifies a node ID different from the node that is being registered. You
can use this parameter to grant client owner authority to an existing
administrative user ID.
CONtact
Specifies a text string of information that identifies the node. The parameter is
optional. The maximum length of the text string is 255 characters. The contact
information must be enclosed in quotation marks if it contains any blanks.
DOmain
Specifies the name of the policy domain to which the node is assigned. The
parameter is optional. If you do not specify a policy domain name, the node is
assigned to the default policy domain (STANDARD).
When a source server is registered as a node, it is assigned to a policy domain.
Data from the source server is stored in the storage pool that is specified in the
archive copy group of the default management class of that domain.
COMPression
Specifies whether the client node compresses its files before it sends these files
to the server for backup and archive. The parameter is optional. The default
value is CLIENT.
Note: This parameter does not apply to nodes with a type of NAS or SERVER.
Client
Specifies that the client determines whether to compress files.
Yes
Specifies that the client node compresses its files before it sends these files
to the server for backup and archive.
No Specifies that the client node does not compress its files before it sends
these files to the server for backup and archive.
ARCHDELete
Specifies whether the client node can delete its own archive files from the
server. The parameter is optional. The default value is YES. You can specify
Yes
Specifies that the client node can delete its own archive files from the
server.
No Specifies that the client node cannot delete its own archive files from the
server.
BACKDELete
Specifies whether the client node can delete its own backup files from the
server. The parameter is optional. The default value is NO. You can specify one
of the following values:
No Specifies that the client node cannot delete its own backup files from the
server.
Yes
Specifies that the client node can delete its own backup files from the
server.
CLOptset
Specifies the name of the option set to be used by the client. The parameter is
optional.
FORCEPwreset
Specifies whether to force a client to change or reset the password. The
parameter is optional. The default value is NO. You can specify one of the
following values:
No Specifies that the password expiration period is set by the SET PASSEXP
command. The client does not need to change or reset the password while
the client is logging on to the server.
Yes
Specifies that the client node password expires at the next logon. The client
must change or reset the password then. If a password is not specified,
you receive an error message.

Type
Specifies the type of node that is being registered. The parameter is optional.
The default value is CLIENT. You can specify one of the following values:
Client
Specifies that the client node is a Backup-Archive Client, Tivoli Storage
Manager for Space Management client, or application client.
NAS
Specifies that the node is a network-attached storage (NAS) file server
whose data is protected by using NDMP operations. The node name
cannot be SERVER.
Note: The name of the NAS node must be the same as the data mover.
Therefore, the name cannot be changed after a corresponding data mover
is defined.
Server
Specifies that the client node is a source server that is being registered on
the target server.
URL
| Specifies the URL of the Tivoli Storage Manager web client that is configured
| on the client system. You can use the URL in a web browser and in the

| address of the client system, and the port number that is defined on the client
| system for the Tivoli Storage Manager client management services. For
| example, https://client.mycorp.com:9028
| If you omit the port number, the Operations Center uses the port number 9028,
| which is the default port number when you install the client management
| services on the client system.
MAXNUMMP
Specifies the maximum number of mount points a node is allowed to use on
the server or storage agent only for operations such as backup, archive, and
Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management migration. The parameter is
optional and does not apply to nodes with a type of NAS or SERVER. The
default value is 1. You can specify an integer from 0- 999. A value of 0 specifies
that a node cannot acquire any mount point for a client data store operation.
The MAXNUMMP value is not evaluated or enforced during client data read
operations such as restore, retrieve, and Tivoli Storage Manager for Space
Management recall. However, mount points in use for data read operations are
evaluated against attempted concurrent data store operations for the same
client node and might prevent the data store operations from being able to
acquire mount points.
For volumes in a storage pool that is associated with the FILE or CENTERA
device type, the server can have multiple sessions to read and one process to
write to the same volume concurrently. To increase concurrency and provide
efficient access for nodes with data in FILE or CENTERA storage pools,
increase the value of the MAXNUMMP parameter.
For nodes that store data into primary storage pools with the
simultaneous-write function that is enabled, you must adjust the value of the
MAXNUMMP parameter to specify the correct number of mount points for each
client session. A client session requires one mount point for the primary
storage pool and one mount point for each copy storage pool and each
active-data pool.
For server-to-server backup, if one server is at a different version than the
other server, set the number of mount points on the target server to a value
higher than one. Otherwise, you receive an error.
A storage agent independently tracks the number of points that are used
during a client session. If a node has a storage agent that is installed, it might
exceed the MAXNUMMP value. The MAXNUMMP value might also be
exceeded under conditions where the node does not have to wait for a mount
point.
Note: The server might preempt a client operation for a higher priority
operation and the client might lose a mount point if no other mount points are
available. See the Administrator's Guide for more information.
KEEPMP
Specifies whether the client node keeps the mount point for the entire session.
The parameter is optional. The default value is NO. You can specify one of the
following values:
Yes
Specifies that the client node must retain the mount point during the entire
session. If policy definitions cause data to be stored to a disk storage pool
after the data is stored to a sequential access storage pool, any mount
points held by the session will not be released.
No Specifies that the client node releases the mount point during the session.
If policy definitions cause data to be stored to a disk storage pool after the
data is stored to a sequential access storage pool, any mount points held
by the session will be released.
AUTOFSRename
| Specify whether file spaces are automatically renamed when you upgrade the
| client system to support Unicode or specify whether file spaces are renamed by
| the client, if needed. The parameter is optional. The default is NO. Setting the
| parameter to YES enables automatic renaming, which occurs when the client
| runs one of the following operations: archive, selective backup, full incremental
| backup, or partial incremental backup. The automatic renaming changes the
| names of existing backed-up file spaces that are not in Unicode in server
| storage. Then, the file spaces are backed up in Unicode. You can use this
| parameter for Unicode-enabled Tivoli Storage Manager clients by using
| Windows, Macintosh OS X, and NetWare operating systems.
| After the client with support for Unicode is installed, any new file spaces that
| the client backs up are stored in server storage by using the UTF-8 code page.
| UTF-8 is a byte-oriented encoding form that is specified by the Unicode
| Standard.

| You can specify one of the following values:
| Yes
| Existing file spaces are automatically renamed when you upgrade to a
| client that supports Unicode and the client runs one of the following
| operations: archive, selective backup, full incremental backup, or partial
| incremental backup. The renaming occurs whether the client uses the
| graphical user interface, the command line, or the client scheduler.
| For example, the server renames a drive as follows:
| Original name: D_DRIVE
| New name: D_DRIVE_OLD
| The new name indicates that the file space is stored on the server in a
| format that is not Unicode.
| No Existing file spaces are not automatically renamed when the client system
| upgrades to a client that supports Unicode, and the client runs one of the
| following operations: archive, selective backup, full incremental backup, or
| partial incremental backup.
| Client
| The option AUTOFSRENAME in the client's option file determines whether
| file spaces are renamed.
| By default, the client option is set to PROMPT. When the client system
| upgrades to a client that supports Unicode and the client runs a Tivoli
| Storage Manager operation with the graphical user interface or the
| command line, the program displays a one-time prompt to the user about
| whether to rename file spaces.
| When the client scheduler runs an operation, the program does not prompt
| for a choice about renaming, and does not rename file spaces. Backups of
| existing file spaces are sent as before (not in Unicode).
| Refer to the appropriate Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide
| book for more information about the client option.
VALIdateprotocol
Specify whether Tivoli Storage Manager completes a cyclic redundancy check
(CRC) to validate the data that is sent between the client and server. The
parameter is optional. The default is NO. You can specify one of the following
values:
No Specifies that data validation is not completed on any data that is sent
between the client and server.
Dataonly
Specifies that data validation is completed only on file data that is sent
between the client and server. This does not include the file metadata. This
mode impacts performance because extra effort is required to calculate and
compare CRC values between the client and the server.
All
Specifies that data validation is completed on all client file data, client file
metadata, and Tivoli Storage Manager server metadata that is sent between
the client and server. This mode impacts performance as extra effort is
required to calculate and compare CRC values between the client and the
server.
TXNGroupmax
| Specifies the number of files per transaction commit that are transferred
| between a client and a server. The parameter is optional. Client performance
| might be improved by using a larger value for this option.
The default value is 0. Specifying 0 indicates the node uses the server global
value that is set in the server options file. To use a value other than the server
global value, specify a value of 4 through 65,000 for this parameter. The node
value takes precedence over the server value.
Attention: Increasing the TXNGROUPMAX value increases the recovery log

usage. Higher recovery log usage might increase the risk of running out of log
space. Evaluate the performance of each node before you change the
parameter. For more information about managing the recovery log, see the
DATAWritepath
Specifies the transfer path that is used when the client sends data to the server,
storage agent, or both, during storage operations such as backup or archive.
The parameter is optional. The default is ANY.
Note: If a path is unavailable, the node cannot send any data. For example, if
you select the LAN-free option but a LAN-free path is not defined, the
operation fails.
ANY
Specifies that data is sent to the server, storage agent, or both, by any
available path. A LAN-free path is used if one is available. If a LAN-free
path is unavailable, the data is moved by using the LAN.
LAN
Specifies that data is sent by using the LAN.
LANFree
Specifies that data is sent by using a LAN-free path.
DATAReadpath
Specifies the transfer path that is used when the server, storage agent, or both
read data for a client, during operations such as restore or retrieve. The
parameter is optional. The default is ANY.
Note: If a path is unavailable, data cannot be read. For example, if you select
the LAN-free option but a LAN-free path is not defined, the operation fails.
The value for the transfer path also applies to failover connections. If the value
is set to LANFree, failover cannot occur for the node on the secondary server.
ANY
Specifies that the server, storage agent, or both use any available path to
read data. A LAN-free path is used if one is available. If a LAN-free path is
unavailable, the data is read by using the LAN.
LAN
Specifies that data is read by using the LAN.
LANFree
Specifies that data is read by using a LAN-free path.
TARGETLevel

Specifies the client deployment package that is targeted for this node. You can
substitute an applicable release package for Version.Release.Modification.Fix
(V.R.M.F) Level. For example: TARGETLevel=6.2.0.0.
You must specify each segment with a number that is applicable to a
deployment package. You cannot use an asterisk in any field as a substitution
for a valid number. The parameter is optional.
Restriction: The TARGETLEVEL parameter does not apply to nodes with a type
of NAS or SERVER.
SESSIONINITiation
Controls whether the server or the client initiates sessions. The default is that
the client initiates sessions. The parameter is optional.
Clientorserver
Specifies that the client might initiate sessions with the server by
communicating on the TCP/IP port that is defined with the server option
TCPPORT. Server-prompted scheduling might also be used to prompt the
client to connect to the server.
SERVEROnly
Specifies that the server does not accept client requests for sessions. All
sessions must be initiated by server-prompted scheduling on the port that
is defined for the client with the REGISTER or UPDATE NODE commands. You
cannot use the client acceptor, dsmcad, to start the scheduler when
SESSIONINITIATION is set to SERVERONLY.
HLAddress
Specifies the client IP address that the server contacts to initiate
scheduled events. This parameter must be used when
SESSIONINITIATION is set to SERVERONLY, regardless of any
addresses that are previously used by the client to contact the server.
The address can be specified either in numeric or host name format. If
a numeric address is used, it is saved without verification by a domain
name server. If the address is not correct, it can cause failures when the
server attempts to contact the client. Host name format addresses are
verified with a domain name server. Verified names are saved and
resolved with Domain Name Services when the server contacts the
client.
LLAddress
from the server. This parameter must be used when
addresses that are previously used by the client to contact the server.
The value for this parameter must match the value of client option
TCPCLIENTPORT. The default value is 1501.
EMAILADdress
| This parameter is used for more contact information. The parameter is
| optional. The information that is specified by this parameter is not acted upon
| by Tivoli Storage Manager.
DEDUPlication
| Specifies where data deduplication can occur for this node. The parameter is
| optional. You can specify one of the following values:
| SERVEROnly
| Specifies that data stored by this node can be deduplicated on the server
| only. This value is the default.
| Clientorserver
| Specifies that data stored by this node can be deduplicated on either the
| client or the server. For data deduplication to take place on the client, you
| must also specify a value of YES for the DEDUPLICATION client option.
| You can specify this option in the client option file or in the client option
| set on the Tivoli Storage Manager server.
BACKUPINITiation
Specifies whether the non-root user ID on the client node can back up files to
the server. The parameter is optional. The default value is ALL, indicating that
non-root user IDs can back up data to the server. You can select one of the
following values:
All
Specifies that non-root user IDs can back up files to the server. ALL is the
default if BACKUPINITIATION is not specified.
ROOT
Specifies that the root user ID can back up files to the server. If you are
using the V6.4 or later backup-archive client, authorized users have the
same privileges as the root user ID.
For more information about authorized users, see the Backup-Archive Clients
Installation and User's Guide.
Restriction: The attribute is ignored by the server if the backup-archive

client connects from an operating system other than AIX, HP-UX, Linux,
Solaris, or Mac OS.
Remember: The application programming interface (API) is affected by the

BACKUPINITIATION parameter on the server. By default, all API users are
allowed to back up data. Setting the parameter to ROOT on an API node is
not recommended.
REPLState
Specifies whether data that belongs to the client node is ready to be replicated.
This parameter is optional. Specify this parameter only if you are issuing the
REGISTER NODE command on a server that is configured to replicate data to a
target replication server. If you register a client node on a source replication
server and set up replication for the node, do not register the node on the
target replication server. The client node is created automatically on the target
server the first time that replication occurs.
You can select one of the following values:
ENabled
Specifies that the client node is configured for replication and is ready to
replicate. When you specify this parameter, the replication mode in the
client node definition on the source replication server is automatically set
to SEND. This setting indicates that data that belongs to the client node is
sent to a target server during replication.
When replication first occurs for the client node, the replication state of the
node on the target replication server is automatically set to ENABLED. The
replication mode on the target replication server is set to RECEIVE. This
setting indicates that data that belongs to the client node is received from a

source replication server. To determine the replication state and mode,
issue the QUERY NODE command on a source or a target replication server.
DISabled
Specifies that the node is configured for replication but that replication
does not occur until you enable it.
BKREPLRuledefault, ARREPLRuledefault, and SPREPLRuledefault
Specifies the replication rule that applies to a data type if the file space rules
for the data type are set to DEFAULT.
Restriction: You can specify the BKREPLRULEDEFAULT, ARREPLRULEDEFAULT, or

SPREPLRULEDEFAULT parameter only if you specify the REPLSTATE parameter.
BKREPLRuledefault
Specifies the replication rule for backup data.
ARREPLRuledefault
Specifies the replication rule for archive data.
SPREPLRuledefault
Specifies the replication rule for space-managed data.
If the file space rules for the data type are set to DEFAULT and you do not
specify a rule for the BKREPLRULEDEFAULT, ARREPLRULEDEFAULT, or
SPREPLRULEDEFAULT parameter, data is replicated according to the server rule for
the data type.
You can specify normal-priority replication or high-priority replication rules. In

a replication process that includes both normal and high-priority data,
high-priority data is replicated first. Before you specify a rule, consider the
order in which you want the data to be replicated.
| You can specify the following rules:
| ALL_DATA
| Replicates active and inactive backup data, archive data, or space-managed
| data. The data is replicated with a normal priority.
| ACTIVE_DATA
| Replicates only active backup data. The data is replicated with a normal
| priority. This rule is valid only for BKREPLRULEDEFAULT.

| when they expire.
| ALL_DATA_HIGH_PRIORITY
| Replicates active and inactive backup data, archive data, or space-managed
| data. Data is replicated with a high priority.
| replicated with a high priority. This rule is valid only for
| BKREPLRULEDEFAULT.
| DEFAULT
| Replicates data according to the server replication rule for backup data.
| For example, suppose that you want to replicate the archive data in all the
| file spaces that belongs to a client node. Replication of the archive data is a
| high priority. One method to accomplish this task is to specify
| ARREPLRULEDEFAULT=DEFAULT. Ensure that the file space rules for archive
| data are also set to DEFAULT and that the server rule for archive data is set
| to ALL_DATA_HIGH_PRIORITY.
| Restriction: If a node is configured for replication, the file space rules are
| set to DEFAULT after the node stores data on the source replication server.
| NONE
| Data of the specified type is not replicated.
| For example, if you do not want to replicate space-managed data that
| belongs to a client node, specify SPREPLRULEDEFAULT=NONE
| RECOVERDamaged
| Specifies whether damaged files can be recovered for this node from a target
| replication server. The parameter is optional. The default value is YES. You can
| specify one of the following values:
| Yes
| Specifies that recovery of damaged files from a target replication server is
| enabled for this node.
| No Specifies that recovery of damaged files from a target replication server is
| not enabled for this node.
| Tip: The value of the RECOVERDAMAGED parameter is only one of several

| settings that determine whether damaged files are recovered. For
| information about how to specify the settings, see Settings that affect the
| recovery of damaged files.
| ROLEOVERRIDE
| Specifies whether to override the reported role of the client for processor value
| unit (PVU) estimation reporting. The default is USEREPORTED. The parameter
| is optional.
The role reported by the client is either client-device (for example, a
workstation) or server-device (for example, file/print server, application server,
database). By default, the client reports its role that is based on the client type
and the operating system. All clients initially report their role as server-device,
except for Backup-Archive Clients running Microsoft Windows workstation
distributions (Windows Vista) and Macintosh OS X.
Client
Specifies a client-device.

Server
Specifies a server-device.
Other
Specifies that this node is not to be used for PVU estimation reporting.
This value can be useful when multiple nodes are deployed for a physical
system (for example, virtual environments, test nodes, retired nodes, and
nodes not in production or clustering).
Usereported
Use the reported role that is provided by the client.
AUTHentication
This parameter specifies the password authentication method for the node.
Specify one of the following values: LDAP or LOCAL. The parameter is
optional and defaults to LOCAL. The default can change to LDAP if you use
the SET DEFAULTAUTHENTICATION command and specify LDAP.
LOcal
Specifies that the local Tivoli Storage Manager server database is used.
LDap
Specifies that the node uses an LDAP directory server for password
authentication.
Tip: A password is not required if you register a node and select

SSLrequired
Specifies whether the node must use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to
communicate with the Tivoli Storage Manager server. The parameter is
optional. When you authenticate passwords with an LDAP directory server,
you must protect the sessions by using SSL or another network security
method.
Yes
DEFault
Specifies that SSL is required for a node if its password authenticates with
an LDAP directory server. SSL is not required for a node that authenticates
its password with the Tivoli Storage Manager server (LOCAL).
SERVERonly
Specifies that SSL is required between the backup-archive client and the
server. SSL is not required between the backup-archive client and the
storage agent.
SPLITLARGEObjects
| Specifies whether large objects that are stored by this node are automatically
| split into smaller pieces, by the server, to optimize server processing. The
| parameter is optional. Specifying Yes causes the server to split large objects
| (over 10 GB) into smaller pieces when stored by a client node. Specifying No
| bypasses this process. Specify No only if your primary concern is maximizing
| throughput of backups directly to tape. The default value is Yes.
Example: Register a client node that only the root user can back
up
Register the client node mete0rite with password KingK0ng to back up files from
only the root user to the server.
register node mete0rite KingK0ng
backupinit=root
Example: Register a client node and password and set

compression on
Register the client node JOEOS2 with the password SECRETCODE and assign this
node to the DOM1 policy domain. This node can delete its own backup and archive
files from the server. All files are compressed by the client node before they are
sent to the server. This command automatically creates a JOEOS2 administrative
user ID with password SECRETCODE. In addition, the administrator now has
client owner authority to the JOEOS2 node.
register node joeos2 secretcode domain=dom1
archdelete=yes backdelete=yes
compression=yes
Example: Register a client node and password and prevent the

administrative ID from being automatically assigned
Register the client node FRAN and prevent an administrative user ID from being
automatically defined
register node fran xy34z userid=none
Example: Grant client owner authority for an existing

administrative user
Grant client owner authority to an existing administrative user ID, HELPADMIN,

when you register the client node JAN. This step would not automatically create an
administrator ID named JAN, but would grant client owner authority for this node
to the HELPADMIN administrator.
register node jan pwdsafe userid=helpadmin
Example: Register a NAS file server node that uses NDMP

operations
Register a node name of NAS1 for a NAS file server that is using NDMP operations.
Assign this node to a special NAS domain.
register node nas1 pw4pw domain=nasdom type=nas
Example: Register a node and specify data validation
Register a node name of ED whose data is backed up to a primary storage pool that
also has a list of two copy storage pools defined. The primary storage pool is of
disk device type, and the two copy storage pools are of sequential device type.
Specify 2 as the maximum number of mount points. The client's network was
unstable during the last few weeks. You must ensure that the client data is not
corrupted when it is sent over the network. Specify the VALIDATE PROTOCOL
parameter to validate all data that is sent from the client to the server.
register node ed pw45twx maxnummp=2 validateprotocol=all

Example: Register a node and specify the maximum number of
files per transaction commit
Register a node name of ED and set the TXNGroupmax to 1,000.

register node ed pw45twx txngroupmax=1000
Example: Register a node and allow it to deduplicate data on the

client system
Register a node name of JIM and allow it to deduplicate data on the client system.
register node jim jim deduplication=clientorserver
Example: Register a node name of ED and set the role as a

server-device for PVU estimation reporting
Register a node name of ED and set the role as a server-device for PVU estimation
reporting.
register node ed pw45twx roleoverride=server
Example: Register a node on a source replication server
Define NODE1 to a source replication server. Specify a replication rule for the
backup data that belongs to NODE1 so that active backup data is replicated with a
high priority. Enable replication for the node.
register node node1 bkreplruledefault=active_data_high_priority replstate=enabled
Example: Register a node that uses a password that

authenticates with an LDAP directory server
Register a node name of node17 that must authenticate to an LDAP directory

server.
register node node17 n0de17n0de#seventeen authentication=ldap
You must enter a new password the next time you log on if the new password
does not adhere to requirements for a “complex” password.
| Example: Register a node and enable recovery of damaged files
| Register a node name of PAYROLL. For the PAYROLL node, enable the recovery of
| damaged files from a target replication server.
| register node payroll recoverdamaged=yes

REMOVE REPLNODE (Remove a client node from replication)
Use this command to remove a node from replication if you no longer want to
replicate the data that belongs to the node.
You cannot delete client node data by issuing the REMOVE REPLNODE command. You
can issue the command on a source or on a target replication server. You can only
issue this command from an administrative command-line client. You cannot issue
this command from the server console.
If you issue the REMOVE REPLNODE command for a client node whose replication
mode is set to SEND or RECEIVE, the mode is set to NONE. The replication state
is also set to NONE. After you remove a client node from replication, the target
replication server can accept backup, archive, and space-managed data directly
from the node.
If a client node is removed from replication, information in the database about

replication for the node is deleted. If the client node is enabled for replication later,
the replication process replicates all the data that is specified by replication rules
and settings.
When you issue the REMOVE REPLNODE command, the data that belongs to a client
node is not deleted. To delete file space data that belongs to the client node, issue
the DELETE FILESPACE command for each of the file spaces that belong to the node.
If you do not want to keep the client node definition, issue the REMOVE NODE
command. To delete file space data and the client node definition, issue DELETE
FILESPACE and REMOVE NODE on the target replication server.
Restriction: If a node replication process is running for a client node that is

specified by this command, the command fails and the replication information for
the node is not removed.

use wildcards to specify the Replication Globally Unique ID, however, only
one Replication Globally Unique ID can match the wildcard. If the wildcard
sequence matches more than one Replication Globally Unique ID, the
command fails. You must qualify the wildcard string until only the Replication
Globally Unique ID you want to delete is found.
Example: Use a wildcard to remove a replication server
Remove a replication server by using a wildcard character to indicate the

Replication Global Unique Identifier (GUID).

RENAME ADMIN (Rename an administrator)
Use this command to change the name of an existing administrator. Existing
information for this administrator such as password, contact information, and
privilege classes is not altered.
If you assign an existing administrative user ID to another person, it is

recommended that you use the UPDATE ADMIN command to change the password.
When an administrator and a node share a name and you change the
administrator authentication method, the node authentication method also changes.
If you rename an administrator to the same name as an existing node, the
authentication method and the SSLREQUIRED setting for the node can change. If
those settings are different, after the renaming, both administrator and node will
have the same authentication method and SSLREQUIRED setting.
You cannot rename the SERVER_CONSOLE administrative ID.

RENAME FILESPACE (Rename a client file space on the
server)
Use this command to rename an existing client file space on the server to a new
file space name or to rename imported file spaces.
You might want to rename a file space that was imported or to cause the creation
of new Unicode-enabled file spaces for Unicode-enabled clients.
Privilege class
Any administrator with unrestricted policy authority or with restricted policy

authority over the client's policy domain can issue this command.
Syntax
REName FIlespace node_name current_file_space_name new_file_space_name
NAMEType = SERVER NEWNAMEType = SERVER

NAMEType = SERVER (1)
UNIcode NEWNAMEType = UNIcode
FSID HEXadecimal
Notes:
1 This parameter is the default when you specify NAMEType=UNIcode.
Parameters
Specifies the name of the client node to which the file space to be renamed
belongs.
current_file_space_name (Required)
Specifies the name of the file space to be renamed. A file space name is
case-sensitive and must be specified exactly as defined to the server. Virtual
file space mapping names are allowed.
new_file_space_name (Required)
Specifies the new name for the file space. A client file space name is
case-sensitive and must be specified exactly as it is to be defined to the server.
This parameter cannot be an existing virtual file space mapping name. If the
current_file_space_name is a virtual file space, the new_file_space_name must
follow all the rules for defining a virtual file space name. See the DEFINE
VIRTUALFSMAPPING command for more information.
Important: If the new name type is hexadecimal, specify valid UTF-8

hexadecimal values so the server's code page displays the file space name as
intended. For example, do not specify a value that can be interpreted as a
backspace.
When you rename a file space that is part of a file space collocation group, the
collocation group is updated with the new name.
NAMEType
Specify how you want the server to interpret the current file space name that
you enter. This parameter is useful when the server has clients with support
for Unicode. You can use this parameter for Unicode-enabled Tivoli Storage
Manager clients with Windows, Macintosh OS X, and NetWare operating
systems.
The default value is SERVER. If a virtual file space mapping name is specified,
you must use SERVER. Possible values are:
SERVER
The server uses the server's code page to interpret the file space name.
UNIcode
on the actual characters in the name and the server's code page.
in the server code page, or if the server cannot access system conversion
routines.
FSID
The server interprets the file space name as the file space ID (FSID).
NEWNAMEType
Specify how you want the server to interpret the new file space name that you
enter. The default is SERVER if you specified the NAMETYPE as SERVER, or if
the file space to be renamed is not Unicode. The default is UNICODE if you
specified the NAMETYPE as UNICODE, or if the file space to be renamed is
Unicode. If a virtual file space mapping name is specified, you must use
SERVER. Possible values are:
SERVER
The server uses the server's code page to interpret the file space name.
UNIcode
code page, to the UTF-8 code page. The success of the conversion depends
on the actual characters in the name and the server's code page. If the
conversion is not successful, you might want to specify the
HEXADECIMAL parameter.
HEXadecimal
The server interprets the file space name that you enter as the hexadecimal
representation of a name in Unicode. Using hexadecimal ensures that the
server is able to correctly rename the file space, regardless of the server's
code page.
To view the hexadecimal representation of a file space name, you can use
the QUERY FILESPACE command with FORMAT=DETAILED.
Restriction: You cannot specify a new name of a type that is different from
the original name. You can rename a file space that is Unicode to another
name in Unicode. You can rename a file space that is not Unicode, and use
a new name in the server's code page. You cannot mix the two types.
Rename an imported file space to prevent overwriting
An AIX client node named LARRY backed up file space /r033 to the Tivoli Storage
Manager server. The file space was exported to tape and later reimported to the
server. When this file space was imported, a system-generated name, /r031, was
created for it because /r033 existed for client node LARRY.

Client node LARRY, however, already had a file space named /r031 that was not
backed up, therefore, was unknown to the server. Unless the imported file space is
renamed, it overlays file space /r031 because the file space name generated by the
IMPORT function is the same as a file space on client node LARRY that is
unknown to the server.
Use the following command to rename imported file space /r031. The new name,
/imported-r033, identifies that the new file space is an imported image of file
space /r033.
rename filespace larry /r031 /imported-r033
Rename file space to create a Unicode-enabled file space
Client JOE is using an English Unicode-enabled Tivoli Storage Manager client. JOE
backed up several large file spaces that are not Unicode that is enabled in server
storage. File space \\joe\c$ contains some files with Japanese file names that
cannot be backed up to a file space that is not Unicode that is enabled. Because the
file spaces are large, the administrator does not want to convert all of JOE's file
spaces to Unicode-enabled file spaces now. The administrator wants to rename
only the non-Unicode file space, \\joe\c$, so that the next backup of the file space
causes the creation of a new Unicode-enabled file space. The new Unicode-enabled
file space allows the Japanese files to be successfully backed up.
Use the following command to rename \\joe\c$:

rename filespace joe \\joe\c$ \\joe\c$_old

RENAME NODE (Rename a node)
Use this command to rename a node.
If you are assigning an existing node ID to another person, it is recommended that

you use the UPDATE NODE command to change the password.
Restrictions:
v You cannot rename a NAS node name that has a corresponding data mover
defined. If the data mover has defined paths, the paths must first be deleted. For
details on the steps that are required when you want to rename a NAS node,
refer to the Administrator's Guide.
v If a node is configured for replication, it cannot be renamed.
If you rename a node to the same name as an existing administrator, the

administrator authentication method and SSLREQUIRED setting are updated to match
the node. When a node and an administrator share a name and you change the
node authentication method or the node SSLREQUIRED setting, the administrator
settings also change. You must have system level authority to update the node
authentication method or the node SSLREQUIRED setting and also update a
same-named administrator.
Privilege class
You must have system privilege, unrestricted policy privilege, or restricted policy
privilege for the policy domain to which the client node is assigned.
Syntax
REName Node current_node_name new_node_name
SYNCldapdelete = No

SYNCldapdelete = No
Yes
Parameters
current_node_name (Required)
Specifies the name of the node to be renamed.
new_node_name (Required)
Specifies the new name of the node. The maximum length of the name is 64
characters.
SYNCldapdelete
If the node ID is stored on the LDAP directory server, you can rename the
entry on that server by specifying a value of YES. Do not rename the entry if it
is used by another server that shares the same namespace on the LDAP
directory server. This parameter applies to nodes that authenticate passwords
with an LDAP directory server. The default is NO.
Yes
Select YES to delete the corresponding LDAP entry in order to rename it. If
you want to rename all of the same-named nodes to keep them in synch
with the LDAP server, select YES.

No Does not delete the corresponding entries. Select NO if the corresponding
entries are being used by another server that shares administrative
namespace in the LDAP directory server. Select NO if you want to rename
only one node and keep the same-named nodes on the shared LDAP
server, the same. After submitting the command, issue the UPDATE NODE
AUTHENTICATION=LDAP command to create an LDAP entry for the new node
name. Updating the node this way guarantees that the node can
authenticate against the LDAP directory server. The default is NO.
Example: Rename a node
Rename the node JOE to JOYCE.

rename node joe joyce
Example: Rename a node that shares a namespace with other

servers
Rename the node JOYCE to JOE and do not delete the previous name from
corresponding LDAP directory servers. Specify SYNCLDAPDELETE=NO to ensure that
other servers that share a namespace on the LDAP directory server can still
connect to the LDAP directory server.

REPLICATE NODE (Replicate data in file spaces that belong to a client
node)
Use this command to replicate data in file spaces that belong to one or more client
nodes or defined groups of client nodes.
When you issue this command, a process is started in which data that belongs to
the specified client nodes is replicated according to replication rules. Files that are
no longer stored on the source replication server, but that exist on the target
replication server, are deleted during this process.
If a node replication process is already running for a client node that is specified
by this command, the node is skipped, and replication begins for other nodes that
are enabled for replication.
| After the node replication process is completed, a recovery process can be started
| on the target replication server. Files are recovered only if all the following
| conditions are met:

Tip: When the QUERY PROCESS command is issued during node replication, the
output can show unexpected results for the number of completed replications. The
reason is that, for node replication purposes, each file space is considered to
contain three logical file spaces:
v One for backup objects
v One for archive objects
v One for space-managed objects
By default, the QUERY PROCESS command generates results for each logical file
space. Other factors also affect the output of the QUERY PROCESS command:
v If a file space has a replication rule that is set to NONE, the file space is not
included in the count of file spaces that are being processed.

v If you specify data types in the REPLICATE NODE command, only those data types
are included in the count of file spaces that are being processed, minus any file
spaces that are excluded.

Notes:
1 Do not mix file space identifiers (FSIDs) and file space names in the same
command.
2 Do not specify FSID if you use wildcard characters for the client node name.
Parameters
Specifies the name of the client node or defined group of client nodes whose
data is to be replicated. You can also specify a combination of client node
names and client-node group names. To specify multiple client node names or
client-node group names, separate the names with commas with no
intervening spaces. You can use wildcard characters with client node names
but not with client-node group names. The replication rules for all file spaces
in the specified client nodes are checked.
filespace_name or FSID
Specifies the name of the file space or the file space identifier (FSID) to be
replicated. A name or FSID is optional. If you do not specify a name or an
FSID, all the data in all the file spaces for the specified client nodes is eligible
for replication.
filespace_name
Specifies the name of the file space that has data to be replicated. File
space names are case-sensitive. To determine the correct capitalization for
the file space, issue the QUERY FILESPACE command. Separate multiple
names with commas with no intervening spaces. When you specify a
name, you can use wildcard characters.
A server that has clients with Unicode-enabled file spaces might have to
convert the file space name. For example, the server might have to convert
a name from the server code page to Unicode. For details, see the NAMETYPE
parameter. If you do not specify a file space name, or if you specify only a
single wildcard character for the name, you can use the CODETYPE
parameter to limit the operation to Unicode file spaces or to non-Unicode
file spaces.
FSID
Specifies the file space identifier for the file space to be replicated. The
server uses FSIDs to find the file spaces to replicate. To determine the FSID
for a file space, issue the QUERY FILESPACE command. Separate multiple
FSIDs with commas with no intervening spaces. If you specify an FSID, the
value of the NAMETYPE parameter must be FSID.
NAMEType
enter. You can use this parameter for Tivoli Storage Manager clients that are
operating systems.

Use this parameter only when you enter a partly qualified or fully qualified
following values:
SERVER
UNIcode
UTF-8 code page. The success of the conversion depends on the characters
in the name and the server code page. Conversion can fail if the string
includes characters that are not available in the server code page or if the
server cannot access system conversion routines.
FSID
The server interprets file space names by using their file space identifiers.
CODEType
Specifies the type of file spaces to be included in node replication processing.
space name. The default value is BOTH, which specifies that file spaces are
included regardless of code page type. You can specify one of the following
values:
UNIcode
Specifies only file spaces that are in Unicode.
NONUNIcode
Specifies only file spaces that are not in Unicode.
BOTH
Specifies all file spaces regardless of code page type.
DATAtype
Specifies the type of data to be replicated. Data is replicated according to the
replication rule that applies to the data type. This parameter is optional. You
can specify one or more data types. If you do not specify a data type, all
backup, archive, and space-managed data is replicated. Separate multiple data
types with commas with no intervening spaces. You cannot use wildcard
characters. You can specify one of the following values:
ALl
Replicates all backup, archive, and space-managed data in a file space
according to the rule that is assigned to the data type. For example,
suppose that NODE1 has a single file space. The following replication rules
apply:
v The file space rules for backup and archive data in the file space are set
to ALL_DATA.
v The file space rule for space-managed data is set to DEFAULT.
v The client node rule for space-managed data is set to NONE.
If you issue REPLICATE NODE NODE1 DATATYPE=ALL, only backup data and
archive data are replicated.
BACKUP
Replicates active and inactive backup data in a file space if the controlling
replication rule is ALL_DATA, ACTIVE_DATA,
ALL_DATA_HIGH_PRIORITY, or ACTIVE_DATA_HIGH_PRIORITY.
BACKUPActive
Replicates only active backup data in a file space if the controlling
replication rule is ACTIVE_DATA or ACTIVE_DATA_HIGH_PRIORITY.
ARCHive
Replicates only archive data in a file space if the controlling replication rule
is ALL_DATA or ALL_DATA_HIGH_PRIORITY.
SPACEManaged
Replicates only space-managed data in a file space if the controlling
replication rule is ALL_DATA or ALL_DATA_HIGH_PRIORITY.
PRIority
Specifies the data to replicate based on the priority of the replication rule. You
All
Replicates all data in a file space if the controlling replication rule is
ALL_DATA, ACTIVE_DATA, ALL_DATA_HIGH_PRIORITY, or
ACTIVE_DATA_HIGH_PRIORITY.
High
Replicates only data in a file space that has a controlling replication rule of
ALL_DATA_HIGH_PRIORITY or ACTIVE_DATA_HIGH_PRIORITY.
Normal
Replicates only data in a file space that has a controlling replication rule of
ALL_DATA or ACTIVE_DATA.
MAXSESSions
Specifies the maximum allowable number of data sessions to use for sending
data to a target replication server. This parameter is optional. The value can be
1 - 99. The default value is 10. Increasing the number of sessions can improve
node replication throughput.
When you set this value, consider the number of logical and physical drives
that can be dedicated to the replication process. To access a sequential-access
depends on the following factors:
v Other Tivoli Storage Manager and system activity
v The mount limits of the device classes for the sequential access storage pools
that are involved
Ensure that there are sufficient mount points and drives available to allow
node replication processes to complete. Each replication session might need a
mount point on the source and target replication servers for storage pool
volumes. If the device type is not FILE, each session might also need a drive
on both the source and target replication servers.
When you set a value for MAXSESSIONS, also consider the available bandwidth
and the processor capacity of the source and target replication servers.
Tip:
v The value that is specified by the MAXSESSIONS parameter applies only to
data sessions. Data sessions are sessions during which data is sent to a target
replication server. However, if you issue a QUERY SESSION command, the total
number of sessions might exceed the number of data sessions. The difference
is because of short control sessions that are used for querying and setting up
replication operations.

v The value of the MAXSESSIONS parameter represents the maximum allowable
number of sessions and that the number of sessions that are used for
replication depends on the amount of data to be replicated. If you are
replicating only a small amount of data, you do not achieve any benefit by
increasing the number of sessions. The total number of sessions might be
less than the value that is specified by the MAXSESSIONS parameter.
Preview
Specifies whether to preview data. This parameter is optional. The default
value is NO. You can specify one of the following values:
No Specifies that the data is replicated to the target server but that the data is
not previewed.
Yes
Specifies that data is previewed but not replicated. If you specify
PREVIEW=YES, only volumes that must be physically mounted, such as tape
volumes, are displayed. Volumes that are assigned to storage pools that
have a device class of FILE are not displayed.
The following information is displayed in the output:
v The names of client nodes whose data would be replicated.
v The number of files that would be replicated or deleted.
v The estimated amount of time it would take to complete the node
replication process.
v A list of volumes that would be mounted.
| v A summary of information about replicated, damaged data. The
| summary lists the number of nodes, file spaces, files, and bytes that can
| be recovered during a replication recovery process. The summary is
| displayed only if RECOVERDAMAGED=YES or RECOVERDAMAGED=ONLY is
| specified.
If the data belonging to a client node that is specified by the REPLICATE
NODE command was never replicated and you specify PREVIEW=YES, the
node and its file spaces are automatically defined on the target replication
server.
LISTfiles
Specifies whether to list the names of files that would be replicated.
This parameter is optional. The default is NO. Specifying this
parameter signifies that the WAIT parameter is set to YES and that you
cannot issue the WAIT parameter from the server console.
No Specifies that the names of files that would be replicated are not
displayed.
Yes
Specifies that the names of files that would be replicated are
displayed.
Wait
in the foreground. This parameter is optional. The default value is NO. You
No Specifies that the command processes in the background. To monitor the
background processing of the REPLICATE NODE command, issue the QUERY
PROCESS command.
Yes
Specifies that the command processes in the foreground. Messages are not
displayed until the command completes processing. You cannot specify
WAIT=YES from the server console.
| RECOVERDamaged
| Specifies whether a recovery process is started on a target replication server
| after the node replication process is completed. This parameter is optional, and
| it overrides any value that you specified for the RECOVERDamaged parameter
| when you defined or updated a node. You can specify one of the following
| values:
| Yes
| Specifies that a replication process is started to recover damaged files, but
| only if the setting for the REPLRECOVERDAMAGED system parameter is ON. If
| the setting is OFF, damaged files are not recovered.
| No Specifies that damaged files are not recovered.
| Only
| Specifies that a replication process is started for the sole purpose of
| recovering damaged files, but only if the setting for the
| REPLRECOVERDAMAGED system parameter is ON. If the setting is OFF,
| damaged files are not recovered, and you receive a notification that
| recovery was not started.
| Restriction: If you specify an invalid combination of values and settings

| for file recovery, replication is stopped, and an error message is displayed.
| FORCEREConcile
| Specifies whether to compare all files on the source replication server with
| files on the target replication server and to synchronize the differences
| between them. Prior to Tivoli Storage Manager V7.1.1, this behavior was
| the default for replication processing. When Tivoli Storage Manager V7.1.1
| or later, is installed on the source and target replication servers, a reconcile
| is automatically completed during initial replication. After initial
| replication, you might use this parameter for the following reasons:
| v To synchronize files on the source and target replication servers if they
| are different.
| v To replicate inactive files that were skipped after you change your
| replication rules from ACTIVE_DATA to ALL_DATA.
| v To delete inactive files from the target replication server when you
| change your replication rules from ALL_DATA to ACTIVE_DATA.
| v To ensure that you replicate only active data when you are using the
| ACTIVE_DATA replication rule so that the target replication server has
| active files only.
| v To resynchronize the files so that the target replication server has the
| same files as the source replication server if you have previously or are
| currently using the policies on the target replication server to manage
| replicated files.
| v To resynchronize the files on the source and target replication servers if
| the database is regressed to an earlier point-in-time using a method
| other than the DSMSERV RESTORE DB command.
| v To rebind files to the new management class on the target replication
| server if this management class did not exist when the files were
| replicated. You must be using the policies that are defined on the target
| replication server to manage replicated files.

| Remember: When the ACTIVE_DATA rule is assigned, a reconcile is
| completed only for active files on the source replication server.
| This parameter is optional. You can specify one of the following values:
| No Specifies that replication processing does not force a reconcile to
| compare all files on the source replication server with files on the
| target replication server. Instead, replication processing tracks file
| changes on the source replication server since the last replication and
| synchronizes these changes on the target replication server. NO is the
| default value.
| Yes
| Specifies that replication processing forces a reconcile to compare all
| files on the source replication server with files on the target replication
| server and synchronizes the files on the target replication server with
| the source replication server.
| Example: Replicate data by data type and priority
Replicate high-priority active backup data and high-priority archive data that
belongs to all the client nodes in group PAYROLL.
replicate node payroll datatype=backupactive,archive priority=high
Example: Replicate all the data that belongs to a node according

to the assigned replication rules
NODE1 has a single file space. The following replication rules apply:
v File space rules:

Parameters
Specifies the name of the node to restore. You cannot use wildcard characters
or specify a list of names.
source_file_system (Required)
Specifies the name of the file system to restore. You cannot use wildcard
characters for this name. You cannot specify more than one file system to
restore. Virtual file space names are allowed.
destination_file_system
Specifies that the file server restores the data to an existing, mounted file
system on the file server. This parameter is optional. The default is the original
location of the file system on the file server. Virtual file space names are
allowed.
FILELIST
Specifies the list of file or directory names to be restored. This parameter is
optional. The default is to restore the entire file system. If this value is
specified, the server attempts to restore the objects from the appropriate image.
If the PITDATE and PITTIME parameters are specified, then the file is restored
from the last backup image prior to the specified time. If no PITDATE and
PITTIME parameters are specified, the file is restored from the latest backup
image of the file system.
If the image is a differential backup, objects are first restored from the
corresponding full backup and then from the differential backup. The restore is
done by scanning the appropriate images for the specified objects and restoring
any that are found. The TOCs for these images is not accessed, so the IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager server does not check whether the objects are actually
contained within the images.
The folder path and file name must be entered using forward slash (/)
symbols. No ending forward slash (/) is needed at the end of the file name.
All arguments that contain a space must have double quotation marks
(“argument with spaces”) surrounding the entire argument.
FILELIST="/path/to/filename1 with blanks",/path/to/filename2_no_blanks
Any file names that contain commas must have double quotation marks
surrounding the entire argument, surrounded by single quotation marks
('“argument with commas”').
FILELIST=’"/path/to/filename1,with,commas"’,/path/to/filename2_no_commas
To restore a complete directory, specify a directory name instead of a file name.

All files in the directory and its subdirectories are restored. An ending forward
slash (/) is not needed at the end of the directory name:
FILELIST=/path/to/mydir
file_name
Specifies one or more file or directory names to be restored. The names
you specify cannot contain wildcards. Multiple names must be separated
with commas and no intervening blanks. File names are case-sensitive.
FILE:file_list
Specifies the name of a file that contains a list of the file or directory
names to be restored. In the specified file, each file or directory name must
be on a separate line. Blank lines and comment lines that begin with an
asterisk are ignored. For example:
To restore files FILE01, FILE02, and FILE03, create a file named RESTORELIST
that contains a line for each file:
FILE01
FILE02
FILE03
You can specify the files to be restored with the command as follows:
FILELIST=FILE:RESTORELIST
NAMEType
Specifies how you want the server to interpret the names specified as
FILELIST=file_name or the names listed in the file specified with
FILELIST=file_list. This parameter is useful when the names may contain
Unicode characters. It has no effect if the FILELIST parameter is not specified.

SERVER
The server uses the server's code page to interpret the names.
HEXadecimal
The server interprets the names that you enter as the hexadecimal
representation of a name in Unicode. To view the hexadecimal
representation of a file or directory name, you can use the QUERY TOC
command with FORMAT=DETAILED.
UNIcode
The server interprets the names as being UTF-8 encoded. This option only
applies when you have specified a list with FILELIST=FILE:file_list.
Restriction: Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) has limitations that

prevent Tivoli Storage Manager from reporting whether or not individual files
and directories are successfully restored.
PITDate
Specifies the point-in-time date. When used with the PITTIME parameter,
PITDATE establishes the point in time from which you want to select the data to
restore. The latest data that was backed up on or before the date and time that
you specify will be restored. This parameter is optional. The default is TODAY.

TYPE
Specifies the type of image to restore. The default value for this parameter is
BACKUPIMAGE and it is used to restore data from standard NDMP base or
differential backups. Other image types represent backup methods that might
be specific to a particular file server. Possible values are:
BACKUPImage
Specifies that the file system should be restored from the appropriate
standard NDMP backup images. This is the default method for performing
an NDMP restore operation. Using the BACKUPIMAGE type, you can restore
data from base and differential backups, and data at the file level.
SNAPMirror
Specifies that the file system should be retrieved from a NetApp
SnapMirror image. SnapMirror images are block-level full-backup images
of a NetApp file system. A SnapMirror image can only be restored to a file
system that has been prepared as a SnapMirror target volume. Refer to the
documentation that came with your NetApp file server for details.
After a SnapMirror image is retrieved and copied to a target file system,
Tivoli Storage Manager breaks the SnapMirror relationship that was
created by the file server during the operation. After the restore is
complete, the target file system returns to the same state as that of the
original file system at the point-in-time of the backup.
When setting the TYPE parameter to SNAPMIRROR, note the following
restrictions:
Restrictions:

v You cannot specify the FILELIST parameter.
v Neither the source_file_system_name nor the destination_file_system_name
can be a virtual filespace name.
v This parameter is valid for NetApp and IBM N-Series file servers only.
Example: Restore a complete directory
Restore all of the files and subdirectories in the directory /mydir.

restore node nasnode /myfs /dest filelist=/path/to/mydir
Example: Restore data from a file system
Restore the data from the /vol/vol10 file system on NAS node NAS1.

RESTORE STGPOOL (Restore storage pool data from a copy
pool or an active-data pool)
Use this command to restore files from one or more copy storage pools or
active-data pools to a primary storage pool.
Tivoli Storage Manager restores all the primary storage pool files that:
v Have been identified as having errors
v Reside on a volume with an access mode of DESTROYED
You can also use this command to identify volumes that contain damaged, primary
files. During restore processing, a message is issued for every volume in the
restored storage pool that contains damaged, non-cached files. Use the QUERY
CONTENT command to identify damaged, primary files on a specific volume.
You cannot restore a storage pool defined with a CENTERA device class.
In addition to restoring data to primary storage pools that have NATIVE or

NONBLOCK data formats, this command also lets you restore data to primary
storage pools that have NDMP data formats (NETAPPDUMP, CELERRADUMP, or
NDMPDUMP). The primary storage pool must have the same data format as the
copy storage pool from which data is to be restored. Tivoli Storage Manager
supports backend data movement for NDMP images. For details, see the
Note: To restore NAS client-node data to NAS storage pools, you must manually
change the access mode of the volumes to DESTROYED using the UPDATE VOLUME
command. However, if you are using disaster recovery manager, the plan file will
contain the information the server needs to automatically mark the volumes as
DESTROYED.
Restoration of files might be incomplete if backup file copies in copy storage pools
or active-data pools were moved or deleted by other Tivoli Storage Manager
processes during restore processing. To prevent this problem, do not issue the
following commands for copy storage pool or active-data pool volumes while
restore processing is in progress:
v MOVE DATA
v DELETE VOLUME (DISCARDDATA=YES)
v AUDIT VOLUME (FIX=YES)
Also, you can prevent reclamation processing for your copy storage pools by
setting the RECLAIM percentage to 100 with the UPDATE STGPOOL command.

Parameters
Specifies the name of the primary storage pool that is being restored.
COPYstgpool
Specifies the name of the copy storage pool from which the files are to be
restored. This parameter is optional. If this parameter is not specified, files are
restored from any copy pool in which copies can be located. Do not use this
parameter with the ACTIVEDATAONLY or ACTIVEDATAPOOL parameters.
ACTIVEDATAOnly
Specifies that active versions of backup files are to be restored from active-data
pools only. This parameter is optional. The default is NO. If this parameter is
not specified, files are restored from copy-storage pools. Do not use this
parameter with the COPYSTGPOOL parameter. Possible values are:
No Specifies that the storage pool will not be restored from active-data pools.
Yes
Specifies that the storage pool will be restored from active-pool or pools
that you specify using the ACTIVEDATAPOOL parameter. If you specify
YES as a value for ACTIVEDATAONLY, but do not specify a value for
ACTIVEDATAPOOL, files are restored from any active-data pool in which
active versions of backup files can be located.
Attention: Restoring a primary storage pool from an active-data pool might

cause some or all inactive files to be deleted from the database if the server
determines that an inactive file needs to be replaced but cannot find it in the
active-data pool.
ACTIVEDATAPool
Specifies the name of the active-data pool from which the active versions of
backup files are to be restored. This parameter is optional. If this parameter is
not specified, files are restored from any active-data pool in which active
versions of backup files can be located.
NEWstgpool
Specifies the name of the new storage pool to which to restore the files. This
parameter is optional. If this parameter is not specified, files are restored to the
original primary storage pool (the pool being restored).
MAXPRocess
Specifies the maximum number of parallel processes that are used for restoring
files. Using multiple, parallel processes may improve throughput for the
restore. This parameter is optional. You can specify a value from 1 to 999. The
default is 1.
When determining this value, consider the number of mount points (logical
drives) and physical drives that can be dedicated to this operation. To access a
sequential access volume, Tivoli Storage Manager uses a mount point, and, if
the device type is not FILE, a physical drive. The number of available mount
points and drives depends on other Tivoli Storage Manager and system
activity and on the mount limits of the device classes for the sequential access
storage pools that are involved in the restore.
Each process needs a mount point for copy storage pool volumes, and, if the
device type is not FILE, each process also needs a drive. If you are restoring
files in a sequential storage pool, each process needs an additional mount point
for primary storage pool volumes and, if the device class is not FILE, an
additional drive. For example, suppose you specify a maximum of 3 processes
to restore a primary sequential storage pool from a copy storage pool of the
same device class. Each process requires two mount points and two drives. To
run all three processes, the device class must have a mount limit of at least 6,
and at least 6 mount points and 6 drives must be available.
To preview a restore, only one process is used and no mount points or drives
are needed.
Preview
Specifies if you want to preview but not perform the restore. The preview lets
you identify volumes required to restore the storage pool. The preview
displays:
v A list of primary storage pool volumes that contain damaged files.
v The number of files and the number of bytes to be restored, assuming that
the access mode of the required copy storage pool volumes is READWRITE
or READONLY when the restore operation is performed.
v A list of copy storage pool volumes containing files to be restored. These
volumes must be mounted if you perform the restore.
v A list of any volumes containing files that cannot be restored.
Note: For only a list of offsite copy storage pool volumes to be mounted
during a restore, change the access mode of the copy pool volumes to
UNAVAILABLE. This prevents reclamation and move data processing of the
volumes until they are moved onsite for the restore.
No Specifies that the restore is done.
Yes
Specifies that you want to preview the restore but not do the restore.
Wait
values are:

RESTORE VOLUME (Restore primary volume data from a copy
pool or an active-data pool)
Use this command to restore all files on damaged volumes in a primary storage
pool that was backed up to a copy storage pool or copied to an active-data pool.
Tivoli Storage Manager does not restore cached copies of files and removes those
cached files from the database during restore processing.
In addition to restoring data to volumes in storage pools that have NATIVE or

NONBLOCK data formats, this command also lets you restore data to volumes in
storage pools that have NDMP data formats (NETAPPDUMP, CELERRADUMP, or
NDMPDUMP). The volumes to be restored must have the same data format as the
volumes in the copy storage pool. Tivoli Storage Manager supports backend data
movement for NDMP images. For details, see the Administrator's Guide.
This command changes the access mode of the specified volumes to DESTROYED.
When all files on a volume are restored to other locations, the destroyed volume is
empty and is deleted from the database.
The restoration may be incomplete for one or more of the following reasons:
v Files were either never backed up or the backup copies are marked as damaged.
Use the QUERY CONTENT command to get more information on the remaining files
on the volume.
v A copy storage pool was specified on the RESTORE command, but files were
backed up to a different copy storage pool. Use the PREVIEW parameter when
you issue the RESTORE command again to determine if this is the problem.
v Volumes in the copy storage pool needed to perform the restore operation are
offsite or unavailable. Check the activity log for messages that occurred during
restore processing.
v Backup file copies in copy storage pools were moved or deleted by other
processes during a restore. See note 3.
v An active-data pool was specified for the restore, and inactive files were not
available to be copied.
Important:
1. You cannot restore volumes in storage pools defined with a CENTERA device
class.
2. Before you restore a random-access volume, issue the VARY command to vary
the volume offline.
3. To prevent copy storage pools files from being moved or deleted by other
processes, do not issue the following commands for copy storage pool volumes
during a restore:
v MOVE DATA
v DELETE VOLUME (DISCARDDATA=YES)
v AUDIT VOLUME (FIX=YES)
To prevent reclamation processing of copy storage pools, issue the UPDATE
STGPOOL command with the RECLAIM parameter set to 100.
Privilege class
To issue this command you must have system privilege, unrestricted storage
privilege, or restricted storage privilege for the primary storage pool. If you have
restricted privilege and want to restore files to a new primary storage pool, you

must also have authority for the new storage pool.

Yes
Specifies that the storage pool will be restored from active-pool or pools
that you specify using the ACTIVEDATAPOOL parameter. If you specify
YES as a value for ACTIVEDATAONLY, but do not specify a value for
ACTIVEDATAPOOL, files are restored from any active-data pool in which

Attention: Restoring a volume from an active-data pool might cause some or
all inactive files to be deleted from the database if the server determines that
an inactive file needs to be replaced but cannot find it in the active-data pool.
ACTIVEDATAPool
Specifies the name of the active-data pool from which the active versions of
backup files are to be restored. This parameter is optional. If this parameter is
not specified, files are restored from any active-data pool in which active
versions of backup files can be located.
NEWstgpool
Specifies the name of the new storage pool to which to restore the files. This
parameter is optional. If you do not specify this parameter, files are restored to
the original primary storage pool.
MAXPRocess
Specifies the maximum number of parallel processes to use for restoring files.
Using parallel processes may improve throughput. This parameter is optional.
You can specify a value from 1 to 999. The default is 1.
When determining this value, consider the number of mount points (logical
drives) and physical drives that can be dedicated to this operation. To access a
sequential access volume, Tivoli Storage Manager uses a mount point, and, if
the device type is not FILE, a physical drive. The number of available mount
points and drives depends on other Tivoli Storage Manager and system
activity and on the mount limits of the device classes for the sequential access
storage pools that are involved in the restore.
Each process needs a mount point for copy storage pool volumes. If the device
type is not FILE, each process also needs a drive. If you are restoring a
sequential storage pool, each process needs an additional mount point for
primary storage pool volumes and, if the device type is not FILE, an additional
drive. For example, suppose you specify a maximum of three processes to back
up a primary sequential storage pool to a copy storage pool of the same device
class. Each process requires two mount points and two drives. To run all three
processes, the device class must have a mount limit of at least 6, and at least 6
mount points and 6 drives must be available.
To preview a backup, only one process is used and no mount points or drives
are needed.
Preview
Specifies if you want to preview but not perform the restore. You can use this
option to identify the offsite volumes required to restore a storage pool. This
No Specifies that you want to perform the restore operation.
Yes
Specifies that you want to preview the restore operation but restore the
data.
Tip: If you preview a restore to see a list of offsite copy pool volumes to
be mounted, you should you change the access mode of the identified
volumes to UNAVAILABLE. This prevents reclamation and MOVE DATA
processing for these volumes until they are transported to the onsite
location for use in restore processing.
The preview displays the following:

v The number of files and bytes to be restored, if the access mode of the

parameter cannot be used together with the NODE parameter.
NOde
Indicates that you want to revoke an administrator's client access or
client owner authority to the node. This parameter cannot be used
together with the DOMAIN parameter.
DOmains
When used with CLASSES=POLICY, specifies a list of policy domains that can
no longer be managed by a restricted policy administrator. (The administrator
was authorized to manage these domains until the REVOKE command was
issued.) This parameter is optional. The items in the list are separated by
commas, with no intervening spaces. You can use wildcard characters to
specify a name. Authority for all matching domains is revoked. If DOMAINS is
specified, the parameter CLASSES=POLICY is optional.

STGpools
Specifies a list of storage pools that can no longer be managed by a restricted
policy administrator. (The administrator had been authorized to manage these
storage pools until the REVOKE command was issued.) This parameter is
optional. The items in the list are separated by commas, with no intervening
spaces. You can use wildcard characters to specify a name. Authority for all
matching storage pools will be revoked. If STGPOOLS is specified then the
parameter CLASSES=STORAGE is optional.
Usage notes
1. To change an unrestricted storage administrator to a restricted storage
administrator, you must first use this command to revoke the unrestricted
privilege. Then, use the GRANT AUTHORITY command to grant the administrator
restricted storage privilege and to identify the storage pools to which the
administrator has authority.
To revoke unrestricted storage privilege from an administrator, specify the
CLASSES=STORAGE parameter. You cannot use the STGPOOLS parameter to
revoke authority for selected storage pools from an unrestricted storage
administrator.
2. To change an unrestricted policy administrator to a restricted policy
administrator, you must first use this command to revoke the unrestricted
privilege. Then, use the GRANT AUTHORITY command to grant the administrator
restricted policy privilege and to identify the policy domains to which the
administrator has authority.
To revoke unrestricted policy privilege from an administrator, specify the
CLASSES=POLICY parameter. You cannot use the DOMAINS parameter to
revoke authority for selected domains from an unrestricted administrator.
Example: Revoke certain administrative privileges
Revoke part of administrator CLAUDIA’s privileges. CLAUDIA has restricted

policy privilege for the policy domains EMPLOYEE_RECORDS and PROG1.
Restrict CLAUDIA’s policy privilege to the EMPLOYEE_RECORDS policy domain.
revoke authority claudia classes=policy
domains=employee_records
Example: Revoke all administrative privileges
Administrator LARRY currently has operator and restricted policy privilege.

Revoke all administrative privileges for administrator LARRY. To revoke all
administrative privileges for an administrator, identify the administrator, but do
not specify CLASSES, DOMAINS, or STGPOOLS. LARRY remains an administrator
but he can only use those commands that can be issued by any administrator.
revoke authority larry
Example: Revoke node privilege
Help desk personnel user CONNIE currently has node privilege with client owner
authority for client node WARD3. Revoke her node privilege with client owner
authority.
revoke authority connie classes=node
authority=owner node=ward3

Command Description

REVOKE PROXYNODE (Revoke proxy authority for a client
node)
Use this command to revoke authority for an agent client node to perform backup
and restore operations for a target node on the Tivoli Storage Manager server.
Privilege class
v System privilege
Syntax
REVoke PROXynode TArget = target_node_name AGent = agent_node_name
Parameters
TArget (Required)
Specifies the target node to which an agent node has been granted proxy
authority. Wildcard characters and comma-separated lists of node names are
allowed.
AGent (Required)
Specifies which node has authority to act as proxy to the target node. Wildcard
characters and comma-separated lists of node names are allowed.
Example: Revoke a node's proxy authority
To revoke authority from target node NASCLUSTER to act as proxy for all agent
nodes which start with the letter M, issue the following command.

nodes.
ROLLBACK (Rollback uncommitted changes in a macro)
Use this command within a macro to undo any processing changes made by
commands run by the server but not yet committed to the database. A committed
change is permanent and cannot be rolled back. The ROLLBACK command is useful
for testing macros.
Ensure that your administrative client session is not running with the
ITEMCOMMIT option when using this command.
Important: SETOPT commands inside a macro cannot be rolled back.
Privilege class
Syntax
ROLLBACK
Parameters
None
Example: Rollback changes in a macro
Run the REGN macro with the ROLLBACK command to verify that the macro works
without committing any changes. The macro contents are:
/* Macro to register policy
administrators and grant authority */
REGister Admin sara hobby
GRant AUTHority sara CLasses=Policy
REGister Admin ken plane
GRant AUTHority ken CLasses=Policy
ROLLBACK /* prevents any changes from being committed */
Related commands

Command Description
COMMIT Makes changes to the database permanent.
MACRO Runs a specified macro file.

RUN (Run a Tivoli Storage Manager script)
Use this command to run a Tivoli Storage Manager script. To issue this command
on another server, the script being run must be defined on that server.
You can include RUN commands in scripts as long as they do not create loops. For
example, you should avoid including RUN commands where SCRIPT_A runs
SCRIPT_B and SCRIPT_B runs SCRIPT_A.
Important: Tivoli Storage Manager does not have a command that can cancel a
script after it starts. To stop a script, you must halt the server.
Privilege class
To issue this command, you must have operator, policy, system, storage, or system
privilege.
Syntax
Preview = No
RUn script_name
, Preview = No
Yes
substitution_value
Verbose = No

Verbose = No
Yes
Parameters
Specifies the name of the script you want processed. The name you specify
cannot be a substitution variable, such as $1.
substitution_value
Specifies one or more values to substitute for variables when the script is run.
In a script, a substitution variable consists of a '$' character, followed by a
number. When you run the script, Tivoli Storage Manager replaces the
substitution variables defined in a script with the values you supply with this
command. You must specify values for each substitution variable defined in
the script or the script will fail. This parameter is optional.
Preview
Specifies whether to preview the command lines of a script without actually
processing the script. The default is NO.
Yes
Specifies that the command lines included in a script are displayed, but the
script is not processed.
No Specifies that the command lines included in a script are displayed and the
script is processed.
Verbose
Specifies whether command lines, variable substitution, and conditional logic
testing used in a script are displayed as the script is being processed. This
parameter is ignored if PREVIEW=YES is specified. The default is NO.
Yes
Specifies that the command lines, variable substitution, and conditional
logic testing are displayed as the script is being processed.
No Specifies that the command lines, variable substitution, and conditional
logic testing do not display as the script is being processed.
Example: View the commands generated by a script with a table

name substitution variable
To run the following example script, called QSAMPLE, you issue a RUN command
that specifies the table name ACTLOG as the value for the substitution variable,
$1. Use the output to preview the commands generated by the script before
running the commands.

SELECT (Perform an SQL query of the Tivoli Storage Manager
database)
Use the SELECT command to create and format a customized query of the Tivoli
Storage Manager database.
Tivoli Storage Manager provides an SQL interface to a DB2 program. Restrictions

and guidelines for handling SQL queries are handled directly by DB2.
To help you find what information is available, Tivoli Storage Manager provides
three system catalog tables:
SYSCAT.TABLES
Contains information about all tables that can be queried with the SELECT
command.
SYSCAT.COLUMNS
Describes the columns in each table.
SYSCAT.ENUMTYPES
Defines the valid values for each type and the ordering of those values for
columns that have an enumerated data type (SQL93).
You can issue the SELECT command to query these tables to determine the location
of the information that you want.
Usage notes
You cannot issue the SELECT command from a server console.
Because the select command does not lock and unlock records, contention for a
record can cause the server to erroneously issue message ANR2034E: SELECT: No
match found using this criteria. Check your selection criteria, and if you
believe that it is correct, try the command again.
To stop the processing of a SELECT command after it starts, cancel the

administrative session from which the command was issued. Cancel the session
from either the server console or another administrative session.
Temporary table spaces are used to process SQL queries within DB2. Inadequate
temporary space can cause SQL queries to fail.
To export output to a comma-separated file for import into a spreadsheet, use

-comma and > command-line options on the dsmadmc command.
Privilege class
Syntax
For SELECT statement syntax and guidelines, see the DB2 Information Center:
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_10.5.0. Search on
Select-statement for usage guidelines.
Important: The appropriate syntax for the timestamp Select statement is:

SELECT * FROM SUMMARY WHERE ACTIVTY='EXPIRATION' AND START_TIME
>'2009-05-10 00:00:00' AND START_TIME <'2009-05-11 23:23:23'
List of examples
The SELECT command is used to customize a wide variety of queries. To give you
an idea of what you can do with the command, this section includes many
examples. There are, however, many more possibilities. Query output is shown
only for the more complex commands to illustrate formatting.
The following list summarizes the example SELECT commands:

v List administrator user ID passwords that are authenticated with an external
LDAP directory server
v List available tables
v List client nodes and administrative clients that are currently locked from server
access
v List client nodes and administrative clients that have not specified the correct
password lately
v List nodes in the standard policy domain that are not associated with the daily
backup schedule DAILYBACKUP
v List the administrators that have policy authority
v List type E (ERROR) or W (WARNING) messages that have been issued in the
time period for which activity log records have been maintained
v List the administrative schedules that have been defined or altered by
administrator JAKE

period greater than 365 days
v List the client nodes that are in each policy domain
v Count how many files have been archived from each node
v List the clients that are using space management
v Determine how many volumes would be reclaimed if the reclamation threshold
is changed to 50 percent for storage pool TAPE
v Determine how many backup files would be affected for each node if the DAILY
management class in the STANDARD policy domain is changed or deleted
v For all active client sessions, determine how long have they been connected and
their effective throughput in bytes per second
v Determine how long the current background processes have been running and
determine their effective throughput in time and files per second
v Count the number of client nodes are there for each platform type
v Count the number of file spaces each client node has and list the client nodes
ascending order
v Obtain statistical information for calculating the number of off-site volumes that
have their space reclaimed during reclamation of a storage pool
v Obtain PVU estimate detail records
v Obtain information about the node roles
v Obtain information about status

SET ACTLOGRETENTION (Set the retention period or the size
of the activity log)
Use this command to manage the activity log records by date or size. The activity
log contains normal activity messages generated by the server. These messages
include information about server and client operations, such as the start time of
sessions or device I/O errors.
Activity log information includes messages, such as the following:

v Client session starts and ends
v Migration starts and ends
v Diagnostic error messages
v Scheduled administrative command output
At server installation, activity log management is retention-based, and the retention
period is set to 30 days.
You can choose to adjust the length of time that the activity log retains messages to
avoid insufficient or outdated data. The server automatically removes the messages
from the activity log after the retention period passes.
Alternatively, you can choose to limit the total size of the activity log to control the
amount of space occupied by the activity log. The server will periodically remove
the oldest activity log records until the activity log size no longer exceeds the
configured maximum size allowed.
You can issue the QUERY STATUS command to display the current number of records
in the activity log and the size (in megabytes) that the activity log currently
occupies.

management, a value of 1 specifies a maximum size of 1 MB for the activity
log. You can specify a number from 0 to 9999. A value of 0 disables activity log
retention.
Mgmtstyle
Specifies whether activity log management is retention-based or size-based.
This parameter is optional. The default is DATE. Possible values are:

Date

SET DBRECOVERY (Set the device class for automatic
backups)
Use this command to specify the device class and number of data streams to be
used for automatic backups.
If you issue the BACKUP DB command, and the device class is not the one that is
specified in the SET DBRECOVERY command, a warning message is issued. However,
the backup operation continues and is not affected.
Privilege class
Syntax
NUMStreams = 1
SET DBRECOVery device_class_name
NUMStreams = number
COMPress = No

COMPress = No
Yes
Parameters
Specifies the device class to use for database backups.
NUMStreams
Specifies the number of parallel data movement streams to use when backing
up the database. The default value is 1, and the maximum number is 4.
Increasing this value causes a corresponding increase in the number of
database backup sessions to be used and in the number of drives to be used
for the device class. A NUMSTREAMS value that is specified in the BACKUP DB
command overrides any value set in the SET DBRECOVERY command. The
NUMSTREAMS value is used for all types of database backups.
If a value is specified that is greater than the number of drives available for the
device class, the number of available drives are used. The available drives are
those defined to the device class by the MOUNTLIMIT parameter or by the
number of online drives for the specified device class. The session is displayed
in the QUERY SESSION output.
If you increase the number of streams, more volumes are used from the
corresponding device class for this operation. Using more volumes might
improve the speed of the database backups, but at the cost of more volumes
that are not fully used.
For details about using multiple streams for database backup and restore
operations, see the Administrator's Guide.
| COMPress
| Specifies whether volumes are compressed during database backup processing.
| This parameter is optional. The default value is No. You can specify one of the
| following values:

| No Specifies that the volumes created by the BACKUP DB command are not
| compressed.
| Yes
| Specifies that the volumes created by the BACKUP DB command are
| compressed.
| If you specify the COMPRESS parameter on the BACKUP DB command, it overrides

| any value that is set in the SET DBRECOVERY command. Otherwise, the value
| that is set in the SET DBRECOVERY command is used.
| Restrictions:
| v Use caution when you specify the COMPRESS parameter. Using compression
| during database backups can reduce the size of the backup files. However,
| compression can increase the time that is required to complete database
| backup processing.
| v Do not back up compressed data to tape. If your system environment stores
| database backups on tape, set the COMPRESS parameter to No in the SET

SET DEDUPVERIFICATIONLEVEL (Set the percentage of
extents to verify)
Use this command to verify extents sent to the server during client-side data
deduplication.
A rogue application that resides on a client system and that imitates the client, API,
or GUI application can initiate an attack on the server. To reduce server
vulnerability to such attacks, you can specify a percentage of client extents for the
server to verify.
If the server detects that a security attack is in progress, the current session is
canceled. In addition, the setting of the DEDUPLICATION parameter on the REGISTER
NODE command is changed. The setting is changed from CLIENTORSERVER to
SERVERONLY. The SERVERONLY setting disables client-side data deduplication
for that node.
The server also issues a message that a potential security attack was detected and
that client-side data deduplication was disabled for the node. If client-side data
deduplication is disabled, all other client operations (for example, backup
operations) continue. Only client-side data deduplication is disabled. If client-side
data deduplication is disabled for a node because a potential attack was detected,
the server deduplicates the data that is eligible for client-side data deduplication.
For more information about data deduplication, see the Administrator's Guide.
Privilege class
Syntax

Set DEDUPVERificationlevel
percent_value
Parameters
percent_value (Required)
Specify an integer value 0 - 100 to indicate the percentage of client extents to
be verified. A value of 0 indicates that no client extents are verified. The
default for this command is 0.
Tips:
v Verifying extents consumes processing power and adversely affects server
performance. For optimal performance, do not specify values greater than 10
for this command.
v To display the current value for SET DEDUPVERIFICATIONLEVEL, issue the
QUERY STATUS command.
Example: Specify a minimum level of data deduplication

verification
To specify that 1% of extents created during client-side data deduplication are

verified, issue the following command:

set dedupverificationlevel 1
Example: Turn off data deduplication verification
To specify that none of the extents created during client-side data deduplication are
verified, issue the following command:
set dedupverificationlevel 0

SET INVALIDPWLIMIT (Set the number of invalid logon
attempts)
Use this command to set the number of invalid logon attempts that are allowed
The SET INVALIDPWLIMIT command also applies to LDAP directory servers that
store complex node passwords. LDAP directory servers can limit the number of
invalid password attempts independent of the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server.
You might not want to set up the LDAP directory server for invalid attempts for
the Tivoli Storage Manager namespace if you use the SET INVALIDPWLIMIT
command.
Privilege class
Syntax
Set INVALIDPwlimit number
Parameters
number (Required)
Specifies the number of invalid logon attempts allowed before a node is
locked.
You can specify an integer from 0 to 9999. A value of 0 means that invalid
logon attempts are not checked. A value of 1 means that if a user issues an
invalid password one time, the node is locked by the server. The default is 0.
Important: If your password is authenticated with an LDAP directory server, it

can be managed by the LDAP server and the Tivoli Storage Manager server. Not
all Tivoli Storage Manager server commands affect passwords that authenticate
with an LDAP server. For example, the SET PASSEXP and RESET PASSEXP commands
do not affect passwords that authenticate with an LDAP directory server. You can
manage your password features through the Tivoli Storage Manager server. If you
issued the SET INVALIDPWLIMIT command, all Tivoli Storage Manager passwords
are controlled by the limit that you set. If you configure the LDAP directory server
to limit the number of invalid password attempts, a conflict might occur.
Example: Define the number of allowed invalid login attempts
Set the number of invalid logon attempts allowed.

SET LDAPUSER (Specify the user ID for the LDAP directory
server)
Use this command to specify the ID of a user or account that can conduct Tivoli
Storage Manager administrative operations when it accesses the LDAP directory
server. The user ID must have access to the base distinguished name (Base DN) on
the LDAP directory server.
This command determines which ID issues administrative operations, such as

resetting node passwords or entering user accounts, on the LDAP directory server.
You must grant Base DN access to the LDAPUSER. The ID that is specified in the SET
LDAPUSER command must be able to create, delete, and modify objects under the
Base DN.
See the Administrator's Guide for information about access control lists (ACLs) and
accessing an LDAP directory server to authenticate passwords.
To change the LDAPUSER, reissue the SET LDAPUSER command.
Privilege class
Syntax
Set LDAPUser ldap_user_dn
Parameters
ldap_user_dn
Specifies the user DN that is used when the Tivoli Storage Manager server
needs to issue administrative commands to the Tivoli Storage Manager name
space on the LDAP directory server. If the user DN contains spaces or equal
signs (=), enclose the entire DN in quotation marks. The maximum length of
the DN is 256 characters.
Important: Enclose the user DN in single or double quotation marks.

If you do not know the DN when you enter the SET LDAPUSER command,
contact your LDAP administrator. If you use Windows Active Directory, you
can determine the DN by using one of the following methods:
Base your query on the name attribute
Issue the dsquery user -name tsmuser command.
Base your query on the user principal name (UPN)
Issue the dsquery user -upn tsmuser@tsmdev.storage.us.ibm.com
command.
Base your query on the SAM account name
Issue the dsquery user -samid tsmuser command.
| Example: Specify the LDAPUSER
| Issue the following SET LDAPUSER command to work with an LDAP Directory
| Server:
| set ldapuser "uid=jackspratt,ou=users,o=ibm.com,c=us"
| This command sets the user DN with a user ID (uid) of jackspratt, with
| organizational unit (ou) as users, organization (o) as ibm.com, and country (c) as
| the United States.
| Issue the following SET LDAPUSER command to work with a Windows Active
| Directory server and other directory servers:
| set ldapuser "cn=Jack Spratt,cn=users,dc=us,dc=ibm,dc=com"

SET MAXSCHEDSESSIONS (Set maximum scheduled
sessions)
Use this command to set the number of sessions that the server can use to process
scheduled operations. This command specifies the maximum number of scheduled
sessions as a percentage of the total number of available server sessions.
Limiting the number of sessions ensures that some are available for unscheduled
operations, such as backup or archive. You can increase either the total number of
sessions (with the MAXSESSIONS parameter) or the maximum percentage of
scheduled sessions. Increasing the total number of sessions available, however, can
affect server performance. Increasing the maximum percentage of scheduled
sessions can reduce the sessions available for unscheduled operations.
Privilege class
Syntax
Set MAXSCHedsessions percent
Parameters
percent (Required)
Specifies the percentage of total server sessions that can be used for scheduled
operations. You can specify an integer from 0 to 100. The MAXSESSIONS
parameter in the server options file determines the maximum number of total
available server sessions.
If you set the maximum percentage of scheduled sessions to 0, no scheduled
events can begin. If you set the maximum percentage of scheduled sessions to
100, the maximum number of scheduled sessions is the value of the
MAXSESSIONS option.
Tip: If the maximum number of scheduled sessions do not coincide with the
percentage that you set in the SET MAXSCHEDSESSIONS command, run the SET
MAXSCHEDSESSIONS command again. Look in the MAXSESSIONS option and determine
the number that is specified there. If the MAXSESSIONS option number changed and
you did not issue the SET MAXSCHEDSESSIONS command since the change, the
maximum number of scheduled sessions can change.
Set a maximum of 20 sessions for scheduled activities

The MAXSESSIONS option has a value of 80. If you want no more than 20 sessions
to be available for scheduled activity, set the percentage to 25.

Privilege class
Syntax
Set NODEATRISKINTERVAL node_name TYPE = DEFAULT
BYPASSED
CUSTOM

Interval = value
Parameters
Specifies the name of the client node that you want to update.
TYPE (Required)
Specifies the at-risk evaluation type. Specify one of the following values:
DEFAULT
Specifies that the node is evaluated with the same interval that was
specified for the nodes classification by the SET STATUSATRISKINTERVAL
command. The value is either system or applications, or VM, and is
determined by the status monitor.
For example, you can specify TYPE = DEFAULT, which allows the status
monitor to go ahead and classify the node automatically. Then the interval
that is used, is the interval that was defined for that classification by the
SET STATUSATRISKINTERVAL command.
BYPASSED
Specifies that the node is not evaluated for at-risk status by the status
monitor. The at risk status is also reported as bypassed to the Operations
Center.
CUSTOM
Specifies that the node is evaluated with the specified interval, rather than
the interval that was specified by the SET STATUSATRISKINTERVAL command.
Interval

SET PASSEXP (Set password expiration date)
Use this command to set the expiration period for administrator and client node
passwords. You can set a common password expiration period for all
administrators and client node passwords or selectively set password expiration
periods.
Restriction: The SET PASSEXP command does not apply to passwords that
authenticate with an LDAP directory server.
You can override this setting for one or more nodes by using the REGISTER NODE or
UPDATE NODE command with the PASSEXP parameter.
Important: If you do not specify the NODE or ADMIN parameters, all client node
and administrator passwords will use the new password expiration period. If you
selectively set a password expiration period for a client node or administrator that
does not already have a set password expiration period, it is not modified if you
later set a password expiration for all users. The NODE or ADMIN parameters
must be specified to change the password expiration period for client nodes or
administrators that have selectively set password expiration periods.
You can use the RESET PASSEXP command to reset the password expiration period
to the common expiration period.
Use the QUERY STATUS command to display the common password expiration
period, which at installation is set to 90 days.
Privilege class
Syntax
Set PASSExp days

Parameters
days (Required)
Specifies the number of days that a password remains valid.
You can specify from 1 to 9999 if you do not specify the NODE or the ADMIN
parameter. If you specify the NODE or the ADMIN parameter, you can specify
from 0 to 9999. A value of 0 means that the password never expires. If a
password expires, the server prompts for a new password when the
administrator or client node contacts the server.
Node
Specifies the name of the node whose password expiration period you would
like to set. To specify a list of nodes, separate the names with commas and no

SET QUERYSCHEDPERIOD (Set query period for polling client
nodes)
Use this command to regulate how often client nodes contact the server to obtain
scheduled work when it is running in the client-polling scheduling mode.
Each client can set its own retry period at the time its scheduler is started. You can
use this command to override the value specified by all clients that can connect
with the server.
If client nodes poll more frequently for schedules, the nodes receive changes to
schedules more quickly. However, increased polling by the client nodes also
increases network traffic.
You can issue the QUERY STATUS command to display the value for the period
between schedule queries. At installation, Tivoli Storage Manager is configured so
that each client node determines its own value for this setting.
Privilege class
Syntax
Set QUERYSCHedperiod
hours
Parameters
hours
Specifies the maximum number of hours the scheduler on a client node waits
between attempts to contact the server to obtain a schedule. This parameter is
optional. You can specify an integer from 1 to 9999. If you do not specify a
value for this parameter, each client determines its own value for this
parameter.

SET RANDOMIZE (Set randomization of scheduled start times)
Use this command to set randomized start times within the startup window of
each schedule for clients by using the client-polling scheduling mode. A startup
window is the start time and duration during which a schedule must be initiated.
A client-polling scheduling mode is a client/server communication technique
where the client queries the server for work.
Each schedule has a window during which it can be run. To balance network and
server load, the start times for clients can be scattered across that window. Use this
command to specify the fraction of the window over which start times for clients
are distributed.
The randomization occurs at the beginning of the window to allow time for retries,
if necessary. When the scheduling mode is not set to polling, randomization does
not occur if the client's first contact with the server is after the start time for the
event.
You can issue the QUERY STATUS command to display the value for the schedule
randomization percentage. At installation, the value is 25 percent.
Set the randomization percentage to a value greater than 0 to prevent

communication errors. Communication errors can result from a large group of
clients contacting the server simultaneously. If you do experience communication
errors, you can increase the randomization percentage so that client contact is
spread out. This decreases the chance for communication overload and failure.
Privilege class
Syntax
Set RANDomize percent
Parameters
percent (Required)
Specifies the percentage of the startup window over which the start times for
individual clients are distributed. You can specify an integer from 0 to 50.
A value of 0 indicates that no randomization occurs and that all clients run
schedules at the beginning of the startup windows.
A value of 50 indicates that clients are assigned start times that are randomly
scattered across the first half of each startup window.
At installation, this value is 25, indicating that the first 25 percent of the
window is used for randomization.
If you have specified DURUNITS=INDEFINITE in the DEFINE SCHEDULE
command, the percentage is applied to a 24 hour period. For example, a value
of 25 percent would result in a 6 hour window.
Example: Set randomization of scheduled start times
Set randomization to 50 percent.

SET REGISTRATION (Set open or closed registration)
Use this command to require a system or policy administrator to register client
nodes (closed registration) or to permit each user to register his own workstation
as a client node with the server (open registration).
With closed registration, an administrator defines the following:

v The node name and password for each workstation
v The policy domain to which the client node belongs
v Whether the user can choose to compress files before sending them to server
storage
v Whether the user can delete backup or archive files from server storage
With open registration, when a user accesses the server from an unregistered client
node, the server prompts the user for a node name, password, and contact
information, and registers the workstation. The server sets the following defaults:
v Each client node is assigned to the policy domain named STANDARD
v Each user defines whether data compression is used before files are sent to
server storage
v Each user is allowed to delete archived files from server storage. The user
cannot delete backup files
v The authentication method is based on the DEFAULTAUTHENTICATION server
setting.
v SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is required for registering client nodes that
authenticate with an LDAP directory server.
v The administrator can reassign domains or change node attributes using the

| if Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1.1 or later, is installed on the source and
| target replication servers, and if the node data was replicated before the file
| damage occurred.
| To display the current setting, use the QUERY STATUS command.
| When you install the server, the default setting is ON.
| If you upgrade the server and no damaged files are detected, the default setting is
| ON.
| If you upgrade the server and damaged files are detected, the parameter is set to
| OFF, and a message is issued to indicate that the recovery of damaged files is
| disabled. The OFF setting prevents the server from scanning database tables for
| damaged objects that can be recovered. Prevention of the scan is necessary in case
| many damaged files are detected. In that case, a scan can take a considerable

SET REPLRETENTION (Set the retention period for replication
records)
Use this command to specify the retention period for client-node replication
records in the source replication-server database. You can use client node
replication records to monitor running and completed processes.
A replication record is created when REPLICATE NODE command processing is

started. By default,Tivoli Storage Manager retains client-node replication records
for 30 calendar days. A calendar day consists of 24 hours, from midnight to
midnight.
The server automatically removes replication records from the database as part of
inventory expiration processing after the retention period passes. As a result, the
amount of time that records are retained can exceed the specified retention period.
If a replication process runs longer than the retention period, the record of the
process is not deleted until the process ends, the retention period passes, and
expiration runs.

POlling
Specifies that only the client-polling mode can be used. Client nodes poll the
server at prescribed time intervals to obtain scheduled work.
PRompted
Specifies that only the server-prompted mode can be used. This mode is only
available for clients that communicate with TCP/IP. Client nodes wait to be
contacted by the server when scheduled work needs to be performed and a
session is available.
Example: Restrict scheduled operations to clients using

client-polling
Clients can run under both server-prompted and client-polling central scheduling.
You want to temporarily restrict the scheduled operations to clients that use the
client-polling mode. If you set the schedule mode to POLLING, the server
discontinues prompting clients to run scheduled commands. This means that any
client scheduler using the server-prompted mode waits until you set the schedule
mode to ANY or PROMPTED.

Command Description
SET SERVERNAME (Specify the server name)
Use this command to change the server name. When you install the Tivoli Storage
Manager server, the name is set at installation to SERVER1.
Use the QUERY STATUS command to display the server name.
If you migrate from ADSM to Tivoli Storage Manager, the name is set to ADSM or
the name last specified to ADSM with a SET SERVERNAME command.
Important:
v If this is a source server for a virtual volume operation, changing its name can
impact its ability to access and manage the data it has stored on the
corresponding target server.
v To prevent problems related to volume ownership, do not change the name of a
server if it is a library client.
When changing the name of a server, be aware of the following additional

restrictions:
v Windows clients use the server name to identify which passwords belong to
which servers. Changing the server name after the clients are connected forces
the clients to reenter the passwords.
v You must set unique names on servers that communicate with each other. For
details, see the Administrator's Guide. On a network where clients connect to
multiple servers, it is recommended that all of the servers have unique names.
Privilege class
Syntax
Set SERVername server_name
Parameters

| Restrictions:
| v In a storage environment that is monitored by the Operations Center, set the
| same refresh interval on the hub and spoke servers. If you use different
| intervals, the Operations Center can show inaccurate information for spoke
| servers.
| v Short status refresh intervals use more space in the server database and
| might require more processor and disk resources. For example, decreasing
| the interval by half doubles the required database and archive log space.
| Long intervals reduce the currency of Operations Center data but better suit
| a high-latency network configuration.
| v A status refresh interval of less than 5 minutes can cause the following
| issues:
| – Operations Center data that is supposed to be refreshed after the defined
| interval takes a longer time to be refreshed.
| – Operations Center data that is supposed to be refreshed almost
| immediately when a related change occurs in the storage environment
| also takes a longer time to be refreshed.

SET TOCLOADRETENTION (Set load retention period for table
of contents)
Use this command to specify the approximate number of minutes that
unreferenced table of contents data will remain loaded in the server database.
During NDMP-controlled backup operations of NAS file systems, the server can
optionally collect information about files and directories in the image and store this
information in a table of contents within a storage pool. The Web client can be
used to examine files and directories in one or more file-system images by
displaying entries from the table of contents data. The server loads the necessary
table of contents data into a temporary database table.
Once the data have been loaded, the user can then select those files and directories
to be restored. Because this database table is temporary, the data will only remain
loaded for a specified time since the last reference to that data. At installation, the
retention time is set to 120 minutes. Use the QUERY STATUS command to see the
table of contents load retention time.

Command Description
UPDATE ADMIN (Update an administrator)
Use this command to change the password or contact information for an
administrator. However, you cannot update the SERVER_CONSOLE administrator
name.
Passwords for administrators must be changed after a length of time determined

by the SET PASSEXP command. The SET PASSEXP command does not affect
passwords that authenticate with an LDAP directory server.
Restriction: You cannot update the authentication method for your own user ID. If
necessary, another administrator must make that change. Also, when updating a
password with the UPDATE ADMIN command, you cannot use a wildcard with the
admin_name parameter.
Administrators with the same name as a node can be created during a REGISTER
NODE command. If you do not specify a name, the administrator is given the same
name as the node. To keep the node and administrator with the same name
synchronized, the authentication method and the SSLREQUIRED setting for the node
are updated to match the administrator. If the administrator authentication method
is changed from LOCAL to LDAP and a password is not provided, the node is put
in “LDAP pending” status. A password is then requested at the next logon.
Passwords between same-named nodes and administrators are kept in sync
through any authentication change.
You must use the RENAME ADMIN command to change the name of a registered
administrator.
Privilege class
To issue this command to change another administrator ID password or contact

information, you must have system privilege. Any administrator can issue this
command to update his or her own password or contact information.

Notes:
1 You must specify at least one optional parameter on this command.
2 Passwords are optional for this command, except when changing the
authentication method from LDAP to LOCAL.
3 The SYNCldapdelete parameter applies only if an administrator authenticating
to an LDAP directory server reverts to local authentication. If other servers
use the same namespace, specify SYNCLDAPDELETE=no. If the LDAP entry is to
be deleted to synchronize with the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server
database, select YES.
Parameters
Specifies the name of the administrator to be updated.
password
Specifies the administrator's password. This parameter is optional for most
cases. If the administrator authentication method is changed from LDAP to
LOCAL, a password is required. Passwords remain current for a period
determined by the password expiration period.
PASSExp
parameter, the password expiration period is unchanged. This parameter does
not apply to passwords that are stored on an LDAP directory server.
CONtact
Specifies a text string that identifies the administrator. This parameter is
optional. Enclose the text string in quotation marks if it contains any blanks. To
remove previously defined contact information, specify a null string (“”).
FORCEPwreset
Specifies whether the administrator is required to change or reset the
password. This parameter is optional. Possible values are:
No Specifies that the administrator does not need to change or reset the
password while attempting to sign on to the server. The password
expiration period is set by the SET PASSEXP command.
Yes
Specifies that the administrator's password will expire at the next sign on.
The administrator must change or reset the password at that time. If a
password is not specified, you will receive a syntax error.
EMAILADdress
This parameter is used for additional contact information. The information
specified by this parameter is not acted upon by Tivoli Storage Manager.
AUTHentication
This parameter determines the password authentication method that the
administrator ID uses; either LDAP or LOCAL.
LOcal
Specifies that the administrator uses the local Tivoli Storage Manager
server database to store passwords for authentication.
LDap
Specifies that the administrator uses an LDAP directory server for
password authentication.
SSLrequired
Specifies whether the administrator user ID must use Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) to communicate between the Tivoli Storage Manager server and the
backup-archive client. When you authenticate passwords with an LDAP
directory server, you must protect the sessions by using SSL or another
network security method.
Yes
DEFault
Specifies that SSL is required for an administrator if the password that is
associated with its user ID authenticates with an LDAP directory server.
SSL is not required for an administrator ID that authenticates its password
with the Tivoli Storage Manager server (LOCAL).
SYNCldapdelete
This parameter applies only if an administrator who authenticates to an LDAP
directory server wants to revert to local authentication. If an entry is being
used by another server and sharing a namespace in the LDAP directory server,
select NO. If you want to synchronize an entry to a Tivoli Storage Manager
server, and the entry is not used by another server or sharing a namespace,
select YES. The default is NO.
ALert
Yes
Example: Update a password and password expiration period
Update the administrator LARRY to have the password SECRETWORD and a

password expiration period of 120 days. The administrator in this example is
authenticated to the Tivoli Storage Manager server. The password is not
case-sensitive.

update admin larry secretword passexp=120
Example: Change the administrator’s authentication method and

update the password
Update the administrator LARRY to authenticate to an LDAP directory server and

have the password SeCre#Tw0rd.
update admin larry SeCre#Tw0rd authentication=ldap
Password expiration does not apply to LDAP-authenticated passwords.

Parameters
Specifies the policy set to which the copy group belongs. You cannot update a
copy group in the ACTIVE policy set.
STANDARD
Specifies the copy group, which must be STANDARD. This parameter is
optional.
Type=Backup
Specifies that you want to update a backup copy group. This parameter is
optional.
DESTination
Specifies the primary storage pool where the server initially stores backup
data. This parameter is optional. You cannot specify a copy storage pool as the
destination.
FREQuency
Specifies how frequently the server can back up a file. This parameter is
optional. The server backs up a file only when the specified number of days
has elapsed since the last backup. The FREQUENCY value is used only during
a full incremental backup operation. This value is ignored during selective
backup or partial incremental backup. You can specify an integer from 0 to
9999. The value 0 means that the server can back up a file regardless of when
the file was last backed up.
VERExists
Specifies the maximum number of backup versions to retain for files that are
currently on the client file system. This parameter is optional.
If an incremental backup causes the limit to be exceeded, the server expires the
oldest backup version that exists in server storage. Possible values are:
number
Specifies the number of backup versions to retain for files that are
currently on the client file system. You can specify an integer from 1 to
9999.
NOLimit
Specifies that you want the server to retain all backup versions.
The number of backup versions to retain is controlled by this parameter until
versions exceed the retention time specified by the RETEXTRA parameter.
VERDeleted
Specifies the maximum number of backup versions to retain for files that have
been deleted from the client file system after being backed up using the server.
If a user deletes a file from the client file system, the next incremental backup
causes the server to change the active backup version of the file to inactive and
expire the oldest versions in excess of this number. The expiration date for the
remaining versions is determined by the retention time specified by the
RETEXTRA or RETONLY parameter. Possible values are:
number
Specifies the number of backup versions to retain for files that are deleted
from the client file system after being backed up. You can specify a value
from 0 to 9999.
NOLimit
Specifies that you want the server to retain all backup versions for files
that are deleted from the client file system after being backed up.
RETExtra
Specifies the number of days that the server retains a backup version after that
version becomes inactive. A version of a file becomes inactive when the client
stores a more recent backup version, or when the client deletes the file from
the workstation and then runs a full incremental backup. The server deletes
inactive versions based on retention time even if the number of inactive
versions does not exceed the number allowed by the VEREXISTS or
VERDELETED parameters. This parameter is optional. Possible values are:
days
Specifies the number of days to retain inactive backup versions. You can
NOLimit
Specifies that you want to retain inactive backup versions indefinitely.

If you specify NOLIMIT, the server deletes extra backup versions based on
the VEREXISTS parameter (when the file still exists on the client file
system) or the VERDELETED parameter (when the file no longer exists on
the client file system).
RETOnly
Specifies the number of days to retain the last backup version of a file that has
been deleted from the client file system. This parameter is optional. Possible
values are:
days
Specifies the number of days to retain the last remaining inactive copy of a
file. You can specify an integer from 0 to 9999.
NOLimit
Specifies that you want to keep the last remaining inactive version of a file
indefinitely.
If you specify NOLIMIT, the server retains the last remaining backup
version forever, unless a user or administrator deletes the file from server
storage.
MODE
Specifies whether the server backs up a file only if the file has changed since
the last backup, or whenever a client requests a backup. This parameter is
optional. Possible values are:
MODified
Specifies that the file is backed up only if it has changed since the last
backup. A file is considered changed if any of the following is true:
v The date last modified is different
v The file size is different
v The file owner is different
v The file permissions are different
ABSolute
Specifies that the file is backed up regardless of whether it has been
changed.
The MODE value is used only for full incremental backup. This value is
ignored during partial incremental backup or selective backup.
SERialization
Specifies how the server processes files or directories when they are modified
during backup processing. This parameter is optional. Possible values are:
SHRSTatic
Specifies that the server backs up a file or directory only if it is not being
modified during backup. The server attempts to perform a backup as
many as four times, depending on the value specified for the
CHANGINGRETRIES client option. If the file or directory is modified during
each backup attempt, the server does not back it up.
STatic
Specifies that the server backs up a file or directory only if it is not being
modified during backup. The server attempts to perform the backup only
once.
SHRDYnamic
Specifies that if the file or directory is being modified during a backup
attempt, the server backs up the file or directory during the last attempt
even though the file or directory is being modified. the server attempts to
perform a backup as many as four times, depending on the value specified
for the CHANGINGRETRIES client option.
DYnamic
Specifies that the server backs up a file or directory on the first attempt,
regardless of whether the file or directory is being modified during backup
processing.
Important: Be careful about using the SHRDYNAMIC and DYNAMIC values.

Tivoli Storage Manager uses these values to determine if it backs up a file or
directory while modifications are occurring. As a result, the backup version
might be a fuzzy backup. A fuzzy backup does not accurately reflect what is
currently in the file or directory because it contains some, but not all,
modifications. If a file that contains a fuzzy backup is restored, the file may or
may not be usable, depending on the application that uses the file. If a fuzzy
backup is not acceptable, set SERIALIZATION to SHRSTATIC or STATIC so
that Tivoli Storage Manager creates a backup version only if the file or
directory is not being modified.
TOCDestination
Specifies the primary storage pool in which a table of contents (TOC) will
initially be stored for any NDMP backup or backup set operation for which a
TOC is generated. This parameter is optional. You cannot specify a copy
storage pool as the destination. The storage pool specified for the destination
must have NATIVE or NONBLOCK data format. To avoid mount delays, it is
recommended that the storage pool have a device class of DISK or
DEVTYPE=FILE. TOC generation is an option for NDMP backup operations,
but is not supported for other image-backup operations.
To remove an existing TOC destination from the copy group, specify a null
If TOC creation is requested for a backup operation that uses NDMP and the
image is bound to a management class whose backup copy group does not
specify a TOC destination, the outcome will depend on the TOC parameter for
the backup operation.
v If TOC=PREFERRED (the default), the backup proceeds without creation of
a TOC.
v If TOC=YES, the entire backup fails because no TOC can be created.
Example: Update a backup copy group
Update the backup copy group (STANDARD) in the EMPLOYEE_RECORDS policy

domain, VACATION policy set, ACTIVEFILES management class. Change the
destination to DISKPOOL, with a minimum interval of seven days between
backups, regardless of whether the files have been modified. Retain up to three
backup versions while a file still exists on a client file system.

STANDARD
Specifies the copy group, which must be STANDARD. This parameter is optional.
Type=Archive
Specifies that you want to update an archive copy group. This parameter is
required.
DESTination
Specifies the primary storage pool where the server initially stores the archive
copy. This parameter is optional. You cannot specify a copy storage pool as the
destination.
FREQuency=Cmd
Specifies the copy frequency, which must be CMD. This parameter is optional.
RETVer
Specifies the number of days to keep an archive copy. This parameter is
optional. Possible values are:
days
Specifies the number of days to keep an archive copy. You can specify an
integer from 0 to 30000.
NOLimit
Specifies that you want to keep an archive copy indefinitely.
If you specify NOLIMIT, the server retains archive copies forever, unless a
user or administrator deletes the file from server storage.
The value of the RETVER parameter can affect the management class to which
the server binds an archived directory. If the client does not use the ARCHMC
option, the server binds directories that are archived to the default
management class. If the default management class has no archive copy group,
the server binds directories that are archived to the management class with the
shortest retention period.
MODE=ABSolute
Specifies that a file is always archived when the client requests it. The MODE
must be ABSOLUTE. This parameter is optional.
RETMin
Specifies the minimum number of days to keep an archive copy after it has
been archived. This parameter is optional. The default value is 365.
SERialization
Specifies how the server processes files that are modified during archive. This
parameter is optional. Possible values are:
SHRSTatic
Specifies that the server does not archive a file that is being modified. The
server attempts to perform an archive as many as four times, depending
on the value specified for the CHANGINGRETRIES client option. If the file is
modified during the archive attempt, the server does not archive the file.
STatic
Specifies that the server does not archive a file that is being modified. If a
file is modified during the archive attempt, the server does not archive the
file.
SHRDYnamic
Specifies that if the file is being modified during an archive attempt, the
server archives the file during its last attempt even though the file is being
modified. The server attempts to archive the file as many as four times,
depending on the value specified for the CHANGINGRETRIES client option.
DYnamic
Specifies that the server archives a file on the first attempt, regardless of
whether the file is being modified during archive processing.
Important: Be careful about using the SHRDYNAMIC and DYNAMIC values.

Tivoli Storage Manager uses them to determine if it archives a file while
modifications are occurring. As a result, the archive copy might be a fuzzy
backup. A fuzzy backup does not accurately reflect what is currently in the file
because it contains some, but not all, modifications. If a file that contains a
fuzzy backup is retrieved, the file may or may not be usable, depending on the
application that uses the file. If a fuzzy backup is not acceptable, set
creates an archive copy only if the file is not being modified.

Tip: Be cautious when selecting retention values for primary storage pools that
are of type RECLAMATIONTYPE=SNAPLOCK. Volumes in these types of
storage pools cannot be deleted until after their retention dates have passed.
Example: Update multiple elements of a copy group
Update the archive copy group (STANDARD) in the EMPLOYEE_RECORDS policy

domain, VACATION policy set, ACTIVEFILES management class. Change the
destination to TAPEPOOL. Keep archive copies for 190 days.

UPDATE DEVCLASS (Update a CENTERA device class)
Use the CENTERA device class when you are using EMC Centera storage devices.
The CENTERA device type uses files as volumes to store data sequentially. It is
similar to the FILE device class.
Privilege class
privilege.
Syntax
(1)
UPDate DEVclass device_class_name HLAddress = ip_address?PEA_file

MINCAPacity = size MOUNTLimit = number
Notes:
1 For each Centera device class, you must specify an IP address. However, a
Pool Entry Authorization (PEA) file name and path are optional, and the PEA
file specification must follow the IP address. Use the "?" character to separate
the PEA file name and path from the IP address.
Parameters
HLAddress
Specifies an IP address for the Centera storage device and, optionally, the name
and path of one Pool Entry Authorization (PEA) file. Specify the IP address
with the dotted decimal format (for example, 9.10.111.222). A Centera device
might have multiple IP addresses. However, you must specify one of them as a
value for this parameter.
The PEA file name and path name are case-sensitive.
If you append the name and path of a PEA file, ensure that the file is stored in
a directory on the system that runs the Tivoli Storage Manager server. Separate
the PEA file name and path from the IP address or addresses with the "?"
character, for example:
HLADDRESS=9.10.111.222?/user/ControlFiles/TSM.PEA
Specify only one PEA file name and path for each device class definition. If
you specify two different Centera device classes that point to the same Centera
storage device and if the device class definitions contain different PEA file
names and paths, the Tivoli Storage Manager server uses the PEA file that is
specified in the device class HLADDRESS parameter that was first used to
open the Centera storage device.
Note:
1. The Tivoli Storage Manager server does not include a PEA file during
installation. If you do not create a PEA file, the Tivoli Storage Manager
server uses the Centera default profile, which can allow applications to
read, write, delete, purge, and query data on a Centera storage device. To
provide tighter control, create a PEA file with the command-line interface
that is provided by EMC Centera. For details about Centera authentication
and authorization, refer to the EMC Centera Programmer's Guide.
2. You can also specify the PEA file name and path in an environment
variable by using the syntax CENTERA_PEA_LOCATION=filePath_
fileName. The PEA file name and path that is specified with this
environment variable apply to all Centera clusters. If you use this variable,
you do not need to specify the PEA file name and path using the
HLADDRESS parameter.
3. Updating the device class with a new or changed PEA file name and
location might require a server restart if the Centera storage device
identified by the IP address has already been accessed in the current
instance of the Tivoli Storage Manager server.
MINCAPacity
Specifies the new minimum size for Centera volumes that are assigned to a
storage pool in this device class. This value represents the minimum amount of
data that is stored on a Centera volume before the Tivoli Storage Manager
server marks it full. Centera volumes continue to accept data until the
minimum amount of data is stored. This parameter is optional.
size
(MINCAPACITY=1M). The maximum value that is allowed is 128 GB
(MINCAPacity=128G).
MOUNTLimit
Specifies the new maximum number of sessions that access the Centera device.
This parameter is optional. You can specify any number from 0 or greater;
however, the sum of all mount limit values for all device classes that are
assigned to the same Centera device must not exceed the maximum number of
sessions that are allowed by Centera.

MAXCAPacity
Specifies the maximum size of any data storage files that are categorized by
this device class. This parameter is optional.
(gigabytes), or T (terabytes). The minimum size is 1 MB (MAXCAPACITY=1M). If
you are defining a FILE device class for database-backup volumes, specify a
value for MAXCAPACITY that is appropriate for the size of the database and
that minimizes the number of database volumes.
For example, MAXCAPACITY=5G specifies that the maximum capacity for a
volume in this device class is 5 gigabytes. The value that is specified must be
less than or equal to the maximum supported size of a file on the target file
system.

Do not define a MAXCAPACITY value greater than 640M when this file is for
REMOVABLEFILE CD support. A value less than a CD's usable space (650 MB)
allows for a one-to-one match between files from the FILE device class and
copies that are on CD.
DIRectory
Specifies the directory location or locations of the files that are used in this
device class. Enclose the entire list of directories within quotation marks, by
using commas to separate individual directory names. Special characters (for
example, blank spaces) are allowed within directory names. For example, the
directory list "abc def,xyz" contains two directories: abc def and xyz. This
By specifying a directory name or names, you identify the locations where the
server places the files that represent storage volumes for this device class.
While the command is processed, the server expands the specified directory
name or names into their fully qualified forms, starting from the root directory.
Important: If you are using storage agents for shared access to FILE volumes,
you must use the DEFINE PATH command to define a path for each storage
agent. The path definition includes the directory names that are used by the
storage agent to access each directory.
Later, if the server must allocate a scratch volume, it creates a new file in one
of these directories. (The server can choose any of the directories in which to
create new scratch volumes.) For scratch volumes used to store client data, the
file that is created by the server has a file name extension of .bfs. For scratch
volumes used to store export data, a file name extension of .exp is used.
For example, if you define a device class with a directory of tsmstor and the
server needs a scratch volume in this device class to store export data, the file
that the server creates might be named /tsmstor/00566497.exp.
Tip: If you specify multiple directories for a device class, ensure that the
directories are associated with separate file systems. Space trigger functions
and storage pool space calculations take into account the space that remains in
each directory. If you specify multiple directories for a device class and the
directories are in the same file system, the server calculates space by adding
values that represent the space that remains in each directory. These space
calculations are inaccurate. Rather than choosing a storage pool with sufficient
space for an operation, the server might choose the wrong storage pool and
run out of space prematurely. For space triggers, an inaccurate calculation
might result in a failure to expand the space available in a storage pool. Failure
to expand space in a storage pool is one of the conditions that can cause a
trigger to become disabled. If a trigger is disabled because the space in a
storage pool was not expanded, you can re-enable the trigger by issuing the
following command: update spacetrigger stg. No further changes are
required to the space trigger.
Restriction: To modify a list of directories, you must replace the entire list.
SHAREd
Specifies that this FILE device class is shared between the server and one or
more storage agents. To prepare for sharing, a library is automatically defined
along with a number of drives corresponding to the MOUNTLIMIT associated
with the device class. If the library and drives exist and the MOUNTLIMIT is
changed, drives can either be created to reach a new higher MOUNTLIMIT
value or deleted to reach a new lower value.
Storage agents using FILE volumes
You must ensure that storage agents can access newly created FILE volumes. To
access FILE volumes, storage agents replace names from the directory list in the
device-class definition with the names in the directory list for the associated path
definition. The following illustrates the importance of matching device classes and
paths to ensure that storage agents can access newly created FILE volumes.
/opt/tivoli1
/opt/tivoli2
/opt/tivoli3
1. You use the following command to set up a FILE library named CLASSA with
one drive named CLASSA1 on SERVER1:
2. You want the storage agent STA1 to be able to use the FILE library, so you
define the following path for storage agent STA1:
v define path server1 sta1 srctype=server desttype=drive device=file
In this scenario, the storage agent, STA1, replaces the directory name
/opt/tivoli1 with the directory name /opt/ibm1/ to access FILE volumes
that are in the /opt/tivoli1 directory on the server.
The following results occur:

v If file volume /opt/tivoli1/file1.dsm is created on SERVER1, and if the
following command is issued,
update devclass classa directory="/opt/otherdir,/opt/tivoli2,
/opt/tivoli3"
SERVER1 is still able to access file volume /opt/tivoli1/file1.dsm, but the

storage agent STA1 is not able to access it because a matching directory name in
the PATH directory list no longer exists. If a directory name is not available in
the directory list that is associated with the device class, the storage agent can
lose access to a FILE volume in that directory. Although the volume is still
accessible from the Tivoli Storage Manager server for reading, failure of the
storage agent to access the FILE volume can cause operations to be retried on a
LAN-only path or to fail.
Example: Update a FILE device class for sharing
Prepare a FILE device class (named PLAINFILES) for sharing with a Tivoli Storage
Manager storage agent.
update devclass plainfiles shared=yes
Example: Update the capacity of a FILE device class
Update a file device class named STORFILES to a maximum capacity of 25 MB.

update devclass storfiles maxcap=25m

Example: Add a directory to a FILE device class
Update the FILE device class, CLASSA, by adding a directory, /usr/otherdir, to

the directory list. The directories /usr/tivoli2 and /usr/tivoli3 were specified
when the device class was first defined.
update devclass classa
directory="/usr/tivoli2,/usr/tivoli3,/usr/otherdir"
UPDATE DEVCLASS (Update a GENERICTAPE device class)
Use the GENERICTAPE device class for tape drives that are supported by
operating system device drivers.
When this device type is used, the server does not recognize either the type of
device or the cartridge recording format. Because the server does not recognize the
type of device, if an I/O error occurs, error information is less detailed compared
to error information for a specific device type (for example, 8MM). When you
define devices to the server, do not mix various types of devices within the same
device type.

Parameters
Specifies the name of the policy domain.
DESCription
Describes the policy domain by using a text string. This parameter is optional.
description in quotation marks if it contains any blank characters. To remove a
previously defined description, specify a null string (“”).
BACKRETention
Specifies the number of days (from the date the backup versions became
inactive) to retain backup versions that are no longer on the client file system.
This parameter is optional. You can specify an integer in the range 0 - 9999.
The server uses the backup retention value to manage inactive versions of files
when any of the following conditions occur:
v A file is rebound to a new management class, but the new management class
and the default management class do not contain a backup copy group.
v The backup copy group is deleted from the management class to which a
file is bound. The default management class does not contain a backup copy
group.
ARCHRETention
Specifies the number of days (from the date of archive) to retain archive copies.
This parameter is optional. You can specify an integer in the range 0 - 30000.
The server uses the archive retention value to manage archive copies of files
when either of the following conditions occur:
v The management class to which a file is bound, no longer exists. The default
management class does not contain an archive copy group.
v The archive copy group is deleted from the management class to which a
file is bound. The default management class does not contain an archive
copy group.
ACTIVEDESTination
Specifies the names of active-data pools that store active versions of backup
data for nodes that are assigned to the domain. This parameter is optional.
Spaces between the names of the active-data pools are not permitted. You
cannot specify more than 10 active-data pools for a domain.
Before the Tivoli Storage Manager server writes data to an active-data pool, it
verifies that the node that owns the data is assigned to a domain that has the
active-data pool that is listed in the ACTIVEDESTINATION list. If the server
verifies that the node meets this criteria, the data is stored in the active-data
pool. If the node does not meet the criteria, then the data is not stored in the
active-data pool. If the simultaneous-write function is used to write data to an
active-data pool, the server completes the verification during backup
operations by Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive clients or by application
clients by using the Tivoli Storage Manager API. The verification is also done
when active-data is being copied by using the COPY ACTIVEDATA command.
Example: Update the backup retention period for a policy domain
Update the policy domain ENGPOLDOM so that the backup retention grace
period is extended to 90 days and the archive retention grace period is extended to
two years. Specify an active-data pool as the destination for active versions of
backup data belonging to nodes that are assigned to the domain. Use engactivedata
as the name of the active-data pool. Issue the following command:
update domain engpoldom description=’Engineering Policy Domain’

Notes:
1 The ACSDRVID parameter is valid only for drives in ACSLS libraries.
2 The CLEANFREQUENCY parameter is valid only for drives in SCSI libraries.
3 The CLEANFREQUENCY=ASNEEDED parameter value does not work for
all tape drives. For more information, see the parameter description.
Parameters
Specifies the name of the library to which the drive is assigned.
Specifies the name that is assigned to the drive.
SERial
Specifies the serial number for the drives that are being updated. This
parameter is valid only for drives in a SCSI or virtual tape library (VTL). This
parameter is optional. The possible values are:
serial_number
Specifies the serial number for the drive that is being updated.
Note: If a path to this drive is already defined, then the number you enter
here is compared to the number detected by Tivoli Storage Manager. If the
numbers do not match, the command fails.
AUTODETECT
Specifies that the serial number is automatically detected and used by
Tivoli Storage Manager if a path is already defined to this drive.
If a path to this drive is not defined, then the serial number is not
detected.
ONLine
Specifies whether the drive is available for use. This parameter specifies
whether drives can be taken offline and used for another activity, such as
maintenance. This parameter is optional.
You can issue this command when the drive is involved in an active process or
session, but it is not advised. If you issue a command to take the drive offline
while it is in use, an error message is issued. The mounted volume completes
its current process. If this volume was part of a series of volumes for a specific
transaction, the drive is not available to complete mounting the series. If no
other drives are available, the process fails.
Attention: When a drive is in use, do not specify the ELEMENT parameter with
the ONLINE parameter. The drive is not updated, and the command fails.
The drive state is not changed even if the server is halted and restarted. If a
drive is offline when the server is restarted, a warning message is issued
stating that the drive must be manually brought online. If all of the drives in a
library are updated to be offline, processes that need a library mount point fail,
rather than queue up for a mount point.
YES
Specifies that the drive is available for use (online).
No Specifies that the drive is not available for use (offline).
ELEMent
Specifies the element address of the drive within a SCSI or VTL library. The
server uses the element address to connect the physical location of the drive to
the SCSI address of the drive. This parameter is valid only for a drive in a
SCSI or VTL library when the command is issued from a Tivoli Storage
Manager library manager server. The possible values are:
address
Specifies the element address for the drive that is being updated.
To find the element address for your library configuration, consult the
information from the manufacturer.
Remember: If a path to this drive is already defined, then the number you
enter here is compared to the number previously detected by Tivoli
Storage Manager. If the numbers do not match, then this command fails.
AUTODETECT
Specifies that the element number is automatically detected and used by
Tivoli Storage Manager if a path is already defined to this drive.
If a path to this drive is not defined, then the element number is not
detected.

Restriction: If the library in which the drive is located does not support
the Read Element Status SCSI command, and ELEMENT=AUTODETECT,
the command fails with a Tivoli Storage Manager error message.
ACSDRVID
Specifies the ID of the drive that is being accessed in an ACSLS library. The
drive ID is a set of numbers that indicates the physical location of a drive
within an ACSLS library. This drive ID must be specified as a,l,p,d, where a is
the ACSID, l is the LSM (library storage module), p is the panel number, and d
is the drive ID. The server needs the drive ID to connect the physical location
of the drive to the drive's SCSI address. See your StorageTek documentation
for details.
CLEANFREQuency
Specifies how often the server activates drive cleaning. This parameter is
optional. For the most complete automation of cleaning for an automated
library, you must have a cleaner cartridge checked into the volume inventory
for the library. If you are using library based cleaning, NONE is advised when
your library type supports this function. This parameter is valid only for drives
in SCSI libraries, and not valid for externally managed libraries, such as 3494
libraries or StorageTek libraries that are managed under ACSLS.
Important: There are special considerations if you plan to use server-activated

drive cleaning with a SCSI library that provides automatic drive cleaning
support in its device hardware.
NONE
Specifies that the server does not track cleaning for this drive. Use this
parameter for libraries that have their own automatic cleaning.
ASNEEDED
Specifies that the server loads the drive with a checked-in cleaner cartridge
only when a drive reports to the device driver that it needs cleaning.
The CLEANFREQUENCY=ASNEEDED parameter value does not work for all tape
drives. Visit the Supported Devices website for your operating system to
view detailed drive information. If ASNEEDED is not supported, you can use
the gigabytes value for automatic cleaning.
For IBM 3592 and LTO drives, library based cleaning is advised. If library
based cleaning is not supported, then ASNEEDED must be used. Gigabytes is
not recommended.
Restriction: Tivoli Storage Manager does not control the drives that are
connected to the NAS file server. If a drive is attached only to a NAS file
server (no connection to a storage agent or server), do not specify ASNEEDED
for the cleaning frequency.
gigabytes
Specifies, in gigabytes, how much data is processed on the drive before the
server loads the drive with a cleaner cartridge. The server resets the
gigabytes-processed counter each time it loads a cleaner cartridge in the
drive.
Important: When CLEANFREQUENCY=gigabyte, drive cleaning can occur

before the gigabyte setting is reached, if the drive notifies the device driver
that a cleaning is necessary.
Consult the information from the drive manufacturer for cleaning
recommendations. If the information gives recommendations for cleaning
frequency in terms of hours of use, convert to a gigabytes value by doing
the following:
1. Use the bytes-per-second rating for the drive to determine a
gigabytes-per-hour value.
2. Multiply the gigabytes-per-hour value by the recommended hours of
use between cleanings.
3. Use the result as the cleaning frequency value.
Tip: For IBM 3590, specify a value for the cleaning frequency to ensure
that the drives receive adequate cleaning. Consult the information from the
drive manufacturer for cleaning recommendations. Using the cleaning
frequency that is recommended by IBM does not over clean the drives.
Example: Update the element address for a drive
Update DRIVE3, in the library named AUTO, by changing the element address to
119.
update drive auto drive3 element=119
Example: Take a drive offline
Update DRIVE3, in the library named MANLIB, to take it offline.

3 You must specify either the REPLRULE or the REPLSTATE parameter on this
command.
4 The ACTIVE_DATA and ACTIVE_DATA_HIGH_PRIORITY rules are valid
only if you specify DATATYPE=BACKUP.
Parameters
Specifies the client node to which the file space belongs. You can use wildcard
characters to specify this name. However, file space identifiers can be different
among client nodes for the same file space. Therefore, you cannot specify
wildcard characters for the client node name and FSID as the value for the
NAMETYPE parameter.
file_space_name (Required)
Specifies the name of the file space to be updated. You can use wildcard
characters or a comma-delineated list to specify names.
For a server that has clients with Unicode-enabled file spaces, you might have
to make the server convert the file space name that you enter. For example,
you might have to make the server convert a name from the server code page
to Unicode. For details, see the NAMETYPE parameter. If you specify only a single
wildcard character for the name, you can use the CODETYPE parameter to limit
the operation to Unicode file spaces or to non-Unicode file spaces.
File space names are case-sensitive. To determine the correct capitalization for
the file space to be updated, use the QUERY FILESPACE command.
NAMEType

system, on the characters in the name, and the server code page.
in the server code page or if the server cannot access system conversion
routines. If the conversion fails, the name can contain question marks,
blanks, or ellipses (...).
FSID
The server interprets file space names as file space identifiers.
CODEType
Specifies the type of file spaces to be included in node replication processing.
The default value is BOTH, meaning that file spaces are included regardless of
code page type. Use this parameter only when you enter a single wildcard
character for the file space name. You can specify one of the following values:

UNIcode
Specifies only file spaces that are in Unicode.
NONUNIcode
Specifies only file spaces that are not in Unicode.
BOTH
Specifies all file spaces regardless of code page type.
DATAType (Required)
Specifies the data type to which a replication rule applies. To specify multiple
data types, separate the names with commas and no intervening spaces. You
can specify the following values:
BACKup
Specifies the backup data type.
ARCHive
Specifies the archive data type.
SPACEManaged
Specifies the space-managed data type.
REPLRule
Specifies the replication rule that applies to a data type. You cannot use
wildcards. If you specify multiple data types, the replication rule applies to
each data type. For example, if you specify DATATYPE=BACKUP,ARCHIVE, the
replication rule applies to backup data and to archive data.
Restriction: The REPLRULE parameter is optional. However, if you do not

specify it, you must specify the REPLSTATE parameter.
For example, suppose that a file space contains active backup data and archive
data. Replication of the active backup data is a higher priority than the archive
data. To prioritize the active backup data, specify DATATYPE=BACKUP
REPLRULE=ACTIVE_DATA_HIGH_PRIORITY. To assign a normal priority to archive
data, issue the UPDATE FILESPACE command again, and specify
DATATYPE=ARCHIVE REPLRULE=ALL_DATA.
You can specify the following rules:
ALL_DATA
Replicates backup, archive, or space-managed data. The data is replicated
| ACTIVE_DATA
| Replicates only the active backup data in a file space. The data is replicated
| with a normal priority.
| when they expire.
Replicates backup, archive, or space-managed data. The data is replicated
DEFAULT
Data is replicated according to the client node rule for the data type.
For example, suppose that you want to replicate the archive data in all the
file spaces that belong to a client node. Replication of the archive data is a
high priority. One method to accomplish this task is to specify
DATATYPE=ARCHIVE REPLRULE=DEFAULT for each file space. Ensure that the
client replication rule for archive data is set to ALL_DATA_HIGH_PRIORITY or
to DEFAULT. If the client replication rule is DEFAULT, the server
replication rule for archive data must be set to ALL_DATA_HIGH_PRIORITY.
NONE
Data is not replicated. For example, if you do not want to replicate the
space-managed data in a file space, specify DATATYPE=SPACEMANAGED
REPLRULE=NONE.
REPLState
Specifies the replication state for a data type. If you specified multiple data
types, the state applies to all the data types. For example, if you specified
DATATYPE=BACKUP,ARCHIVE, the state applies to backup data and archive data.
The REPLSTATE parameter is optional. However, if you do not specify it, you
must specify the REPLRULE parameter. You can specify one of the following
values for the REPLSTATE parameter:
ENabled
Specifies that the data type is ready for replication.
DISabled
Specifies that replication does not occur until you enable it.
PURGEdata
Specifies that data is deleted from the target replication server. The type of
data deleted is the type of data specified by the DATATYPE parameter. For
example, if you specify DATATYPE=BACKUP,ARCHIVE and

REPLSTATE=PURGEDATA, backup data and archive data are deleted from the
file space on the target replication server.
After the data is deleted, the REPLSTATE parameter is set to DISABLED,
preventing future replication of the data type or types. The replication rule
for the data type is set to DEFAULT.
Remember: PURGEDATA processing does not delete file spaces. Only data is
deleted. The file space shows as empty in the output of the QUERY
OCCUPANCY command.
Example: Update replication rules for two data types
NODE1 has three file spaces: /a, /b, and /c. The replication rules for all file spaces
are set to ALL_DATA. However, you want to replicate the backup and archive data in
file space /a before the data in other file spaces is replicated.
update filespace node1 /a datatype=backup,archive replrule=
all_data_high_priority
Example: Update replication rules for two data types
NODE2 has two file spaces: /a and /b. You want to temporarily suspend
replication of all data in file space /b.
update filespace node2 /b datatype=backup,archive,spacemanaged
replstate=disabled

UPDATE NODE (Update node attributes)
Use this command to modify the attributes of a registered node.
You must use the RENAME NODE command to change the name of a registered node.
Administrators with the same name as the node are sometimes created during a
REGISTER NODE command. If you do not specify a name, the administrator is given
the same name as the node. To keep the same-named node and administrator
synchronized, the authentication method and the SSLREQUIRED setting for the
administrator ID are updated to match the node.
If you update the node authentication method or the node SSLREQUIRED setting and
there is a same-named administrator, those administrator ID settings change.
You must have system level authority to update the node authentication method or
the node SSLREQUIRED setting and also update a same-named administrator ID. If
the same-named administrator ID has client owner authority over the node that is
being updated, then system level authority is not required. You must have either
unrestricted policy privilege or restricted policy privilege for the policy domain to
which the client node belongs.

parameter.
6 The SYNCLDAPDELETE parameter applies only if a node that authenticates to an
LDAP directory server reverts to local authentication. If other servers use the
same namespace, specify SYNCLDAPDELETE=NO. If the LDAP entry is to be
deleted to synchronize with the Tivoli Storage Manager server database,
select YES.
Parameters
Specifies the name of the client node to be updated. You can use wildcard
characters to specify this name.
password
Specifies the new password for the client node. This parameter is optional for
most cases. If the node authentication method is changed from LDAP to

LOCAL, a password is required. The maximum length of the password is 64
characters. Passwords remain current for a period that is determined by the
password expiration period.
FORCEPwreset
Specifies whether to force a client to change or reset the password. This
parameter is optional. You can specify one of the following values:
No Specifies that the password expiration period is set by the SET PASSEXP
command. Do not force a client to change or reset the password while
it attempts to log on to the server.
Yes
Specifies that the client node or administrator password will expire at
the next logon. The client must change or reset the password at the
next logon.
PASSExp
parameter, the password expiration period is unchanged.
You can change the password expiration period by using the UPDATE NODE or
SET PASSEXP commands. To set a common expiration period for all
administrators and client nodes, issue the SET PASSEXP command, You can also
use the SET PASSEXP command to selectively set password expiration periods.
If you selectively set a password expiration period by using the REGISTER NODE
command, the UPDATE NODE command, or the SET PASSEXP command, the
expiration period is excluded from common password expiration periods that
were created by using the SET PASSEXP command.
You can use the RESET PASSEXP command to reset the password expiration
period to the common expiration period. This parameter does not apply to
passwords that authenticate with an LDAP directory server.
CLOptset
Specifies the name of the option set to be used by the client. This parameter is
optional. To remove a client option set, specify the CLOPTSET parameter with
a null string (“”).
CONtact
Specifies a text string of information that identifies the client node. This
parameter is optional. The maximum length of the text string is 255 characters.
Enclose the contact information in quotation marks if it contains any blanks. To
remove previously defined contact information, specify a null string (“”).
DOmain
Specifies the name of the policy domain to which you want to register the
client node. This parameter is optional.
Restriction: For servers with data retention protection enabled, an archived

registered node cannot be reassigned to a different policy domain. See the
Administrator's Guide for more information.
COMPression
Specifies whether the client node compresses its files before it sends them to
the server for backup and archive. This parameter is optional.
Restriction: This parameter cannot be specified for a NAS node.
Client
Specifies that the client determines whether files are to be compressed.
Yes
Specifies that the client node compresses its files before it sends them to
the server for backup and archive.
No Specifies that the client node does not compress its files before it sends
them to the server for backup and archive.
ARCHDELete
Specifies whether the client node can delete its own archived files from the
server. This parameter is optional. You can specify one of the following values:
Yes
Specifies that the client node can delete its own archive files from the
server.
No Specifies that the client node cannot delete its own archive files from the
server.
BACKDELete
Specifies whether the client node can delete its own backup files from the
server. This parameter is optional. You can specify one of the following values:
No Specifies that the client node cannot delete its own backup files from the
server.
Yes
Specifies that the client node can delete its own backup files from the
server.
WHEREDOmain
Specifies the name of the policy domain to be used as a filter in combination
with the node name to select nodes to update. This parameter is optional.
WHEREPLatform
Specifies the name of the client platform to be used as a filter in combination
with the node name to select nodes to update. This parameter is optional.
MAXNUMMP
Specifies the maximum number of mount points a node can use on the server
or storage agent only for operations such as backup, archive, and Tivoli
Storage Manager for Space Management migration. The parameter is optional
and does not apply to nodes with a type of NAS or SERVER. The default value
is 1. You can specify an integer from 0 - 999. A value of 0 specifies that a node
cannot acquire any mount point for a client data store operation. The MAXNUMMP
value is not evaluated or enforced during client data read operations such as
restore, retrieve, and Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management recall.
However, mount points in use for data read operations are evaluated against
attempted concurrent data store operations for the same client node and might
prevent the data store operations from being able to acquire mount points.
For volumes in a storage pool that is associated with the FILE or CENTERA
device type, the server can have multiple sessions to read and one process to
write to the same volume concurrently. To increase concurrency and provide
efficient access for nodes with data in FILE or CENTERA storage pools,
increase the value of the MAXNUMMP parameter.
For nodes that store data into primary storage pools with the
simultaneous-write function that is enabled, you must adjust the value of the

MAXNUMMP parameter to specify the correct number of mount points for each
client session. A client session requires one mount point for the primary
storage pool and one mount point for each copy storage pool and each
active-data pool.
URL
| Specifies the URL of the Tivoli Storage Manager web client that is configured
| on the client system. You can use the URL in a web browser and in the
| This parameter is optional. The URL must include the DNS name or IP address
| of the client system, and the port number that is defined on the client system
| for the Tivoli Storage Manager web client. For example, http://
| client.mycorp.com:1581
| If you want to remove the value from this parameter, specify empty single
| quotation marks or empty double quotation marks with no spaces ('' for single
| quotation marks, or “” for double quotation marks).
| UTILITYUrl
| Specifies the address of the Tivoli Storage Manager client management services
| that are configured on the client system. This URL is used by the Operations
| Center to access client log files so that you can remotely diagnose client issues
| from the Operations Center.
| This parameter is optional. You can specify a URL of up to 200 characters in
| length. The URL must start with https. It includes the DNS name or IP
| address of the client system, and the port number that is defined on the client
| system for the Tivoli Storage Manager client management services. For
| example, https://client.mycorp.com:9028
| If you omit the port number, the Operations Center uses the port number 9028,
| which is the default port number when you install the client management
| services on the client system.
KEEPMP
Specifies whether the client node keeps the mount point for the entire session.
The parameter is optional. You can specify one of the following values:
No Specifies that the client node releases the mount point during the session.
If policy definitions cause data to be stored to a disk storage pool after
data is stored to a sequential access storage pool, any mount points held
by the session will be released.
Yes
Specifies that the client node must retain the mount point during the entire
session. If policy definitions cause data to be stored to a disk storage pool
after data is stored to a sequential access storage pool, any mount points
held by the session will not be released.
AUTOFSRename
Specifies whether the client is prompted for renaming file spaces when the
client system upgrades to a client that supports Unicode. The prompting and
renaming, if allowed, occur only when the client runs one of the following
operations: archive, selective backup, full incremental backup, or partial
incremental backup. The renaming changes the names of existing backed-up
file spaces that are not in Unicode in server storage. Then the file spaces are
backed up in Unicode. You can use this parameter for Unicode-enabled Tivoli
Storage Manager clients by using Windows, Macintosh OS X, and NetWare
operating systems.
Important: After the client with support for Unicode is installed, any new file
spaces that the client backs up are stored in server storage by using the UTF-8
code page. UTF-8 is a byte-oriented encoding form that is specified by the
Unicode Standard.
Yes
The server automatically renames existing file spaces when the client
system upgrades to a client that supports Unicode, and the client runs one
of the following operations: archive, selective backup, full incremental
backup, or partial incremental backup. The renaming occurs whether the
client uses the graphical user interface, the command line, or the client
scheduler.
For example, the server renames a drive as follows:
v Original name: D_DRIVE
v New name: D_DRIVE_OLD
The new name indicates that the file space is stored on the server in format
that is not Unicode.
No The server does not rename file spaces automatically when the client
system upgrades to a client that supports Unicode, and the client runs one
of the following operations: archive, selective backup, full incremental
backup, or partial incremental backup.
Client
The option AUTOFSRENAME in the client option file determines whether
file spaces are renamed.
By default, the client option is set to PROMPT. When the client system
upgrades to a client that supports Unicode and the client runs a Tivoli
Storage Manager operation with the graphical user interface or the
command line, the program displays a one-time prompt to the user about
whether to rename file spaces.
When the client scheduler runs an operation, the program does not prompt
for a choice about renaming, and does not rename file spaces. Backups of
existing file spaces are sent as before (not in Unicode).
Refer to the appropriate Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide
book for more information about the client option.
VALIdateprotocol
Specify whether Tivoli Storage Manager performs a cyclic redundancy
check to validate the data that is sent between the client and the server.
The parameter is optional. You can specify one of the following values:
No Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager does not perform data validation
on any data that is sent between the client and server.
Dataonly
Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager performs data validation only on
file data that is sent between the client and server. The data does not
include the file metadata. This mode affects performance because more
resources are required to calculate and compare cyclic redundancy
check (CRC) values between the client and the server.
All
Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager performs data validation on all
client file data, client file metadata, and server metadata that is sent

between the client and server. This mode affects performance because
more resources are required to calculate and compare CRC values
between the client and the server.
TXNGroupmax
Specifies the number of files that are transferred as a group between a
client and a server between transaction commit points. Client performance
might be improved by using a larger value for this option.
Specifying 0 indicates the node uses the server global value that is set in
the server options file. To use a value other than the server global value,
specify a value of 4 through 65,000 for this parameter. The node value
takes precedence over the server value.
Tip: Increasing the TXNGROUPMAX value increases recovery log utilization.

Higher recovery log utilization might increase the risk of running out of
log space. Evaluate the performance of each node before you change the
parameter. For more information about managing the recovery log, see the
DATAWritepath
Specifies the transfer path that is used when the client sends data to the
server, storage agent, or both, during storage operations such as backup or
archive. The parameter is optional.
Remember: If a path is unavailable, the node cannot send any data. For
example, if you select the LAN-free option but a LAN-free path is not
defined, the operation fails.
ANY
Specifies that data is sent to the server, storage agent, or both, using
any available path. A LAN-free path is used if one is available. If a
LAN-free path is unavailable, the data is moved over the LAN.
LAN
Specifies that data is sent over the LAN.
LANFree
Specifies that data is sent over a LAN-free path.
DATAReadpath
Specifies the transfer path that is used when the server, storage agent, or
both read data for a client, during operations such as restore or retrieve.
The parameter is optional.
Remember: If a path is unavailable, data cannot be read. For example, if

you select the LAN-free option but a LAN-free path is not defined, the
operation fails. The value for the transfer path also applies to failover
connections. If the value is set to LANFree, failover cannot occur for the
node on the secondary server.
ANY
Specifies that the server, storage agent, or both use any available path
to read data. A LAN-free path is used if one is available. If a LAN-free
path is unavailable, the data is read over the LAN.
LAN
Specifies that data is read over the LAN.
LANFree
Specifies that data is read by using a LAN-free path.
SESSIONINITiation
Controls whether the server or the client initiates sessions. The parameter
is optional.
Clientorserver
Specifies that the client might initiate sessions with the server by
communicating on the TCP/IP port that is defined with the server
option TCPPORT. Server-prompted scheduling might also be used to
prompt the client to connect to the server.
SERVEROnly
Specifies that the server does not accept client requests for sessions. All
sessions must be initiated by server-prompted scheduling on the port
that is defined for the client with the REGISTER or UPDATE NODE
commands. You cannot use the client acceptor, dsmcad, to start the
scheduler when SESSIONINITIATION is set to SERVERONLY.
HLAddress
Specifies the client IP address that the server contacts to initiate
scheduled events. This parameter must be used when
addresses that are previously used by the client to contact the
server.
The address can be specified either in numeric or host name
format. If a numeric address is used, it is saved without
verification by a domain name server. If the address is not correct,
it can cause failures when the server attempts to contact the client.
Host name format addresses are verified with a domain name
server. Verified names are saved and resolved with Domain Name
Services when the server contacts the client.
LLAddress
Specifies the client port number on which the client listens for
sessions from the server. This parameter must be used when
addresses that are previously used by the client to contact the
server.
HLAddress
Specifies the client IP address that the server contacts to initiate scheduled
events. This optional parameter is used only when SESSIONINITIATION is
set to SERVERONLY, regardless of any addresses previously used by the
client to contact the server. If SESSIONINITIATION SERVERONLY is not in
use, this option has no effect.
The address can be specified either in numeric or host name format. If a
numeric address is used, it is saved without verification by a domain name
server. If the address is not correct, it can cause failures when the server
attempts to contact the client. Host name format addresses are verified

with a domain name server. Verified names are saved and resolved with
Domain Name Services when the server contacts the client.
LLAddress
from the server. This optional parameter is used only when
SESSIONINITIATION is set to SERVERONLY, regardless of any addresses
previously used by the client to contact the server. If SESSIONINITIATION
SERVERONLY is not in use, this option has no effect.
EMAILADdress
This parameter is used for more contact information. The information that
is specified by this parameter is not acted upon by Tivoli Storage Manager.
DEDUPlication
Specifies where data deduplication can occur for this node. You can specify
SERVEROnly
Specifies that data stored by this node can be deduplicated on the
server only.
Clientorserver
Specifies that data stored by this node can be deduplicated on either
the client or the server. For data deduplication to take place on the
client, you must also specify a value of YES for the DEDUPLICATION
client option. You can specify this option in the client option file or in
the client option set on the Tivoli Storage Manager server.
TARGETLevel
Specifies the client deployment package that is targeted for this node. You
can substitute an applicable release package for V.R.M.F
(Version.Release.Modification.Fix) Level. For example:
TARGETLevel=6.2.0.0.
You must specify each segment with a number that is applicable to a
deployment package. You cannot use an asterisk in any field as a
substitution for a valid number. To remove an existing value, specify a null
string (“ ”). The parameter is optional.
Restriction: The TARGETLEVEL parameter does not apply to nodes with a

type of NAS or SERVER.
BACKUPINITiation
Specifies whether the non-root user ID on the client node can back up files to
the server. The parameter is optional. The default value is ALL, indicating that
non-root user IDs can back up data to the server. You can select one of the
following values:
All
Specifies that non-root user IDs can back up files to the server. ALL is the
default if BACKUPINITIATION is not specified.
ROOT
Specifies that only the root user ID can back up files to the server.
Restriction: The attribute is ignored by the server if the backup-archive
client connects from a platform other than AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, or
Mac OS.
BKREPLRuledefault, ARREPLRuledefault, and SPREPLRuledefault
Specifies the replication rule that applies to a data type if the file space rules
for the data type are set to DEFAULT:
BKREPLRuledefault
Specifies the replication rule for backup data.
ARREPLRuledefault
Specifies the replication rule for archive data.
SPREPLRuledefault
Specifies the replication rule for space-managed data.
For example, suppose that a client node contains active backup data and
archive data. Replication of the active backup data is a higher priority than the
archive data. To prioritize both types of data, specify
BKREPLRULEDEFAULT=ACTIVE_DATA_HIGH_PRIORITY ARREPLRULEDEFAULT=ALL_DATA.
You can specify the following rules:
ALL_DATA
Replicates active and inactive backup data, archive data, or space-managed
data. The data is replicated with a normal priority.
ACTIVE_DATA
Replicates only active backup data. The data is replicated with a normal
priority. This rule is valid only for BKREPLRULEDEFAULT.
Attention: If you specify ACTIVE_DATA and one or more of the

following conditions are true, inactive backup data on the target replication
server is deleted, and inactive backup data on the source replication server
is not replicated.
v When a Tivoli Storage Manager version earlier than Version 7.1.1 is
installed on either the source or target replication servers.
v When you are using the REPLICATE NODE command with the
FORCERECONCILE=YES parameter.
v When you are running the initial replication of a file space after you
configure replication, restore the database, or upgrade both the source
and target replication servers from a Tivoli Storage Manager version
earlier than V7.1.1.
If the previous conditions are not true, all new and changed files since the
last replication are replicated, including inactive files, and files are deleted
when they expire.
Replicates active and inactive backup data, archive data, or space-managed
data. Data is replicated with a high priority.

This rule is the same as the ACTIVE_DATA replication rule except data is
replicated with a high priority. This rule is valid only for
BKREPLRULEDEFAULT.
DEFAULT
Replicates data according to the server replication rule for backup data.
For example, suppose that you want to replicate the archive data in all the
file spaces that belongs to a client node. Replication of the archive data is a
high priority. One method to accomplish this task is to specify
ARREPLRULEDEFAULT=DEFAULT. Ensure that the file space rules for archive
data are also set to DEFAULT and that the server rule for archive data is set
to ALL_DATA_HIGH_PRIORITY.
Restriction: If a node is configured for replication, the file space rules are
set to DEFAULT after the node stores data on the source replication server.
NONE
Data of the specified type is not replicated.
For example, if you do not want to replicate space-managed data that
belongs to a client node, specify SPREPLRULEDEFAULT=NONE
REPLState
Specifies whether data that belongs to the client node is ready to be replicated.
This parameter is optional. You can specify one of the following values:
ENabled
Specifies that the client node is ready for replication.
DISabled
The system response to these settings depends on the following factors:

Whether the client node definition exists only on the source replication
server and you are configuring the client node for replication for the first
time If you set the replication state to ENABLED or DISABLED, the
replication mode of the node on the source replication server is
automatically set to SEND after the UPDATE NODE command is issued.
When replication first occurs, a client node definition on the target
server is automatically created. The replication state of the client node
on the target server is automatically set to ENABLED. The replication
mode is set to RECEIVE.
Whether the client node definition exists on the source and the target
replication servers, and the node data was previously replicated
For replication to occur, the replication state of the client node on both
the source and the target servers must be set to ENABLED. For
example, if the replication state of a client node on the source server is
ENABLED and the replication state on the target server is DISABLED,
replication does not occur.
Whether the client node definition exists on the source and the target
replication servers, and the node data was previously exported from the
source replication server and imported to the target replication server
In this case, you are configuring the client nodes to synchronize the
data between the two servers. When replication first occurs, the
replication state of the client node on the target server is automatically
set to ENABLED. Data on the source and target servers is
synchronized.
Restriction: To synchronize data, you must specify the REPLMODE

parameter in addition to the REPLSTATE parameter.
You can specify the REPLMODE parameter only if the client node has never been
replicated:
v If the client node definition exists only on the source replication server, the
replication mode of the node on the source replication server is
automatically set to SEND when the UPDATE NODE command is issued. The
replication mode of the node on the target replication server is automatically
set to RECEIVE.
v If data that belongs to the node was previously replicated, the replication
mode of the node on the source replication server is SEND. The replication
mode of the node on the target replication server is RECEIVE.
REPLMode
Specifies whether to synchronize the data that belongs to this client node.
Specify this parameter only if data that belongs to the client node was
exported from the source replication server and imported to the target
replication server. Synchronization occurs during replication.
To synchronize data, you must issue the UPDATE NODE command on both the
source and target replication servers and specify the REPLMODE and REPLSTATE
parameters. The value that you specify for the REPLMODE parameter depends on
whether the server is a source of or a target for replicated data.
SYNCSEnd
Specifies that data that belongs to this client node is synchronized with
data on a target server during replication. Specify this value only on the
server that exported the data. When the synchronization is complete, the
replication mode for the client node on the source server is automatically
set to SEND. The replication mode remains SEND unless you remove the
node by issuing the REMOVE REPLNODE command.
SYNCRECeive
Specifies that data that belongs to this client node is synchronized with
data on a source server during replication. Specify this value only on the
server that imported the data. When the synchronization is complete, the
replication mode for the client node on the target server is automatically
set to RECEIVE. The replication mode remains RECEIVE unless you
remove the node by issuing the REMOVE REPLNODE command.
Restrictions:
v You can set the REPLMODE parameter only if the initial replication state is
NONE. To synchronize data, you change the replication state to ENABLED
or DISABLED and specify a value for the REPLMODE parameter.
v Data can be synchronized only if you specified DATES=ABSOLUTE on the
IMPORT NODE command. If you specified DATES=RELATIVE to import data, you
must rename the node or delete its data before replication. If you do not
take one of these steps, you can lose data.
v If the REPLMODE parameter was set incorrectly, you must issue the REMOVE
REPLNODE command before you update the client node definition. For
example, suppose that you updated the definition of a client node whose

data you wanted to replicate. The data that belongs to the node was
previously exported to the target replication server. You specified ENABLED
as the setting of the REPLSTATE parameter. However, you did not specify
SYNCSEND on the source replication server. As a result, the REPLMODE
parameter was automatically set to SEND, and data that belongs to the node
could not be synchronized or replicated.
Issuing REMOVE REPLNODE sets the replication state and the replication mode
to NONE. After the REMOVE REPLNODE command is completed, reissue the
UPDATE NODE command with the correct parameters and values.
| RECOVERDamaged
| Specifies whether damaged files can be recovered for this node from a target
| replication server. The parameter is optional. The default value is YES. You can
| specify one of the following values:
| Yes
| Specifies that recovery of damaged files from a target replication server is
| enabled for this node.
| No Specifies that recovery of damaged files from a target replication server is
| not enabled for this node.
| Tip: The value of the RECOVERDAMAGED parameter is only one of several

| settings that determine whether damaged files are recovered. For
| information about how to specify the settings, see Settings that affect the
| recovery of damaged files.
| ROLEOVERRIDE
Specifies whether to override the reported role of the client for processor value
unit (PVU) estimation reporting. The default is USEREPORTED.
The role reported by the client is either client-device (for example, a
workstation) or server-device (for example, file/print server, application server,
database). By default, the client reports its role that is based on the client type
and the operating system. All clients initially report their role as server-device,
except for Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive clients that are running
Microsoft Windows workstation distributions (Windows Vista) and Macintosh
OS X.
Client
Specifies a client-device.
Server
Specifies a server-device.
Other
Specifies that this node is not to be used for PVU estimation reporting. The
Other value is useful when there are multiple nodes that are deployed for
a physical system (for example, virtual environments, test nodes, retired
nodes, and nodes not in production or clustering).
Usereported
Use the reported role that is provided by the client.
AUTHentication
This parameter determines the password authentication method that you use;
either LDAP or LOCAL.
LOcal
Specifies that the node uses the local Tivoli Storage Manager server
database to store passwords.
LDap
Specifies that the node uses an LDAP directory server to authenticate
passwords. Passwords are not stored in the Tivoli Storage Manager
database.
SSLrequired
Specifies whether the node must use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to
communicate with the Tivoli Storage Manager server. The parameter is
optional. When you authenticate passwords with an LDAP directory server,
you must protect the sessions by using SSL or another network security
method.
Yes
DEFault
Specifies that SSL is required for a node if its password authenticates with
an LDAP directory server. SSL is not required for a node that authenticates
its password with the Tivoli Storage Manager server (LOCAL).
SERVERonly
Specifies that SSL is required between the backup-archive client and the
server. SSL is not required between the backup-archive client and the
storage agent.
SPLITLARGEObjects
Specifies whether large objects that are stored by this node are automatically
split into smaller pieces, by the server, to optimize server processing.
Specifying Yes causes the server to split large objects (over 10 GB) into smaller
pieces when stored by a client node. Specifying No bypasses this process.
Specify No only if your primary concern is maximizing throughput of backups
directly to tape. The default value is Yes.
SYNCldapdelete
This parameter applies only if you want a node that authenticates with an
LDAP directory server, to change to authenticate with the Tivoli Storage
Manager. The default is NO.
Yes
Select YES if you want to synchronize an entry on the Tivoli Storage
Manager server, and the entry is not used by another server and not
sharing a namespace on the LDAP directory server.
Remember: When you select YES you update all other servers that are
sharing namespace, which keeps those nodes in sync.
No Select NO if an entry is being used by another server and shares a
namespace on the LDAP directory server.
Example: Update node SIMON to authenticate with an LDAP

directory server and connect using SSL
update node simon authentication=ldap sslrequired=yes
Specifying SSLREQUIRED does not configure the server for SSL. You must follow the
instructions for connecting with SSL in order for the example to work.

Example: Update a node with software release information for a
future deployment
The client deployment feature helps you update a backup-archive client to a newer
release. The information that is generated from the UPDATE NODE command can help
you when you plan a deployment. The information is stored for a future
deployment and can be viewed by issuing the QUERY NODE command. After a
deployment, you can issue the QUERY NODE command to see the current level and
the target level. For example, to update node LARRY to backup-archive client
Version 6.3.0.0.
update node LARRY targetlevel=6.3.0.0
Example: Update a node backup to compress data and keep the

client from deleting archived files
Update node LARRY so that the data on node LARRY is compressed when it is
backed up or archived by Tivoli Storage Manager and so that the client cannot
delete archived files.
update node larry compression=yes archdelete=no
Example: Update a node's number of files that can be

transferred as a group
Update node LARRY and increase the TXNGroupmax value to 1,000.

update node larry txngroupmax=1000
Example: Update a node and allow it to deduplicate on the client
Update a node BOB so that it can deduplicate on the client.

update node bob deduplication=clientorserver
Example: Update the role of node BOB to a server-device for

PVU estimation reporting
If you want to accumulate PVU values, only server device roles are recorded. You
can update a node from client-device to server-device by issuing the UPDATE NODE
command. For this example, node BOB is updated to a server-device.
update node bob role=server
Example: Update a node definition on a source replication server
NODE1 is defined to a source replication server. The data that belongs to NODE1
was previously exported to a target replication server. Update the replication rule
for backup data that belongs to NODE1 so that active backup data is replicated
with a high priority. Enable replication for the node. Set up data synchronization
with the target replication server.
update node node1 bkreplruledefault=active_data_high_priority
replstate=enabled replmode=syncsend
| Example: Update a node definition to enable recovery of

| damaged files
| Update the PAYROLL node to enable the recovery of damaged files from a target
| update node payroll recoverdamaged=yes

SRCType (Required)
DATAMover
SERVer
Specifies that a server or a storage agent is the source.
AUTODetect
Specifies whether the serial number for a drive or library will be automatically
detected, reported, and updated in Tivoli Storage Manager. This parameter is
a drive or a library. Possible values are:
No Specifies that the serial number is not automatically updated.
Yes
Specifies that the serial number is automatically updated to reflect the
Important:
1. If you have not previously entered a serial number, then
2. AUTODETECT=YES in this command overrides the serial number set
in the DEFINE DRIVE command.
3. If you set DESTTYPE=DRIVE and AUTODETECT=YES, then the drive
element number in the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager database will be
automatically changed to reflect the same element number that
corresponds to the serial number of that drive. This is true for drives in
a SCSI library. For more information about the element number, see the
DEFINE DRIVE command.
DESTType=DRive (Required)
Specifies that a drive is the destination. When the destination is a drive, you
must specify a library name. This parameter is required.
LIBRary
Specifies the name of the library to which the drive is assigned. The library
and its drives must already be defined to the Tivoli Storage Manager server. If
the path is from a NAS data mover to a library, the library must have LIBTYPE
of SCSI, 349x, or ACSLS.
DEVIce
The source uses the device name to access the drive. See Table 429 for
examples.
Server to a drive (not a FILE drive) /dev/rmt/3mt
Storage agent to a drive (not a FILE drive) mt3
NAS data mover to a drive NetApp NAS file server: rst0l
EMC Celerra NAS file server:

c436t0l1
IBM System Storage N Series: rst0l
Important:

names for drives:
sysconfig -t
ONLine
Specifies whether the path is available for use. This parameter is optional.
Yes
For example, if the path from a data mover to a drive is online, but either the
data mover or the drive is offline, you cannot use the path.
DIRectory
Specifies the directory location or locations for a storage agent to access the
files in a FILE library. The DIRECTORY parameter is also used for devices of
type REMOVABLEFILE. For REMOVABLEFILE devices, the DIRECTORY
parameter provides information for the server (not a storage agent) along with
the DRIVE parameter to describe access to the device. This parameter is
optional.
On storage agents, this parameter is only valid when all of the following
conditions are true:
v The source type is SERVER (meaning a storage agent that has been defined
as a server to this server).
v The source name is the name of a storage agent, not the server.
v The destination is a logical drive that is part of a FILE library.
v If multiple directories were specified for the device class associated with the
FILE library, the same number of directories must be specified with the
DIRectory parameter of the DEFINE PATH command, for each drive in the
FILE library. Storage agent directories are not validated on the Tivoli Storage
Manager server. Specifying incorrect directories can cause a run-time failure.
The directory name or names identify the locations where the storage agent
reads and writes the files that represent storage volumes for the FILE device
class that is associated with the FILE library. The default value for
DIRECTORY is the directory of the server at the time the command is issued.
Use a naming convention that you can use to associate the directory with a
particular physical drive. This can help ensure that your configuration is valid
for sharing the FILE library between the server and storage agent. If the
storage agent is on a Windows system, use a universal naming convention
(UNC) name. When the storage agent lacks permission to access remote
storage, the storage agent will experience mount failures.
Important:
v Tivoli Storage Manager does not create shares or permissions, or mount the
target file system. You must perform these actions before starting the storage
agent.
v You can modify a list of directories only by replacing the entire list.
v You must ensure that storage agents can access newly created FILE volumes.
To access FILE volumes, storage agents replace names from the directory list
in the device-class definition with the names in the directory list for the
associated path definition. The following illustrates the importance of
matching device classes and paths to ensure that storage agents can access
newly created FILE volumes.
/opt/tivoli1
/opt/tivoli2
/opt/tivoli3
1. You use the following command to set up a FILE library named CLASSA
with one drive named CLASSA1 on SERVER1:
2. You want the storage agent STA1 to be able to use the FILE library, so
you define the following path for storage agent STA1:
define path server1 sta1 srctype=server desttype=drive device=file
In this scenario, the storage agent, STA1, will replace the directory name
/opt/tivoli1 with the directory name /opt/ibm1/ to access FILE
volumes that are in the /opt/tivoli1 directory on the server.
3. If file volume /opt/tivoli1/file1.dsm is created on SERVER1, and if the
following command is issued,
update devclass classa directory="/opt/otherdir,/opt/tivoli2,
/opt/tivoli3"
SERVER1 will still be able to access file volume /opt/tivoli1/file1.dsm,

but the storage agent STA1 will not be able to access it because a
matching directory name in the PATH directory list no longer exists. If a
directory name is not available in the directory list associated with the
device class, the storage agent can lose access to a FILE volume in that
directory. Although the volume will still be accessible from the Tivoli
Storage Manager server for reading, failure of the storage agent to access
the FILE volume can cause operations to be retried on a LAN-only path
or to fail.
Example: Update a path from a data mover NAS file server to a tape
drive
Update a path from a data mover that is a NAS file server to the drive TAPEDRV2
that the data mover uses for backup and restore operations. In this example, the
NAS data mover is NAS1, the library is NASLIB, and the device name for the drive
is rst0l.

the value of this parameter. For example, enter:
/opt/GESedt-acsls/bin/elmdt
This parameter is required when the library name is an external library.

ONLine
Specifies whether the path is available for use. This parameter is optional.
Yes

Important: If the path to a library is offline, the server will not be able to
access the library. If the server is halted and restarted while the path to the

UPDATE SCHEDULE (Update a schedule)
Use this command to update a client or administrative command schedule.
The UPDATE SCHEDULE command takes two forms, depending on whether the
schedule applies to client operations or administrative commands. Within these
two forms, you can select either classic or enhanced style schedules. The syntax
and parameters for each form are defined separately.

UPDATE SCHEDULE (Update a client schedule)
Use the UPDATE SCHEDULE to update selected parameters for a client schedule.
This command does not change the client associations that have been made to this
schedule. Any clients that are associated with the original schedule, process the
modified schedule.
Not all clients can run all scheduled operations, even though you can define the
schedule on the server and associate it with the client. For example, a Macintosh
client cannot run a schedule when the action is to restore or retrieve files, or run
an executable script. An executable script is also known as a command file, a batch
file, or a script on different client operating systems.
Privilege class
To update a client schedule, you must have system privilege, unrestricted policy
privilege, or restricted policy privilege for the policy domain to which the schedule
belongs.

UPDATE SCRIPT (Update a Tivoli Storage Manager script)
Use this command to change a command line or to add a new command line to an
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager script.
Restriction: You cannot redirect the output of a command within a Tivoli Storage
Manager script. Instead, run the script and then specify command redirection. For
example, to direct the output of script1 to the c:\temp\test.out directory, run the
script and specify command redirection as in the following example:
run script1 > c:\temp\test.out
Privilege class
To issue this command, the administrator must have previously defined the script
or must have system privilege.
Syntax
UPDate SCRipt script_name
command_line
Line = number

Parameters
Specifies the name of the script to be updated.
command_line
Specifies a new or updated command to be processed in a script. You must
update a command, a description, or both when you issue this command.
Command can contain substitution variables and may be continued across
multiple lines if you specify a continuation character (-) as the last character in
the command. You can specify up to 1200 characters for the command. Enclose
the command in quotation marks if it contains blanks. If you specify this
parameter, you can optionally specify the following parameter.
You have the options of running commands serially, in parallel, or serially and
in parallel by specifying the SERIAL or PARALLEL script commands for this
parameter. You can run multiple commands in parallel and wait for them to
complete before proceeding to the next command. Commands will run serially
until the parallel command is encountered.
Conditional logic flow statements can be used. These statements include IF,
EXIT, and GOTO.
Line
Specifies the line number for the command. If you do not specify a line
number, the command line is appended to the existing series of command
lines. The appended command line is assigned a line number of five
greater than the last command line number in the sequence. For example,
if the last line in your script is 015, the appended command line is
assigned a line number of 020.
If you specify a line number, the command will replace an existing line (if
the number is the same as an existing line). Or the command will insert

the specified line (if the line number does not correspond to an existing
line number for the command line sequence).
DESCription
Specifies a description for the script. You can specify up to 255 characters for
the description. Enclose the description in quotation marks if it contains blank
characters.
Example: Add a command to the end of a script
Assume that you have defined the following three line script, named QSAMPLE,
and that you want to add the QUERY SESSION command to the end of the script.
005 QUERY STATUS
010 QUERY PROCESS
update script qsample "query session"
After the command processes, the script now consists of the following lines:
005 QUERY STATUS
010 QUERY PROCESS
015 QUERY SESSION
Example: Update a specific line a script
Using the script from the prior example, change line 010 so that it processes the
QUERY STGPOOL command instead of the QUERY PROCESS command:
update script qsample "query stgpool" line=010
005 QUERY STATUS
010 QUERY STGPOOL
015 QUERY SESSION
Example: Insert a command in the middle of a script
Using the script from the prior example, insert a new command line (SET
REGISTRATION OPEN) after the QUERY STATUS command line in the QSAMPLE script:
update script qsample "set registration open"
line=007
005 QUERY STATUS
007 SET REGISTRATION OPEN
010 QUERY STGPOOL
015 QUERY SESSION

SSL
Specifies the communication mode of the server. You can specify one of the
following values:
No Specifies that unencrypted communication with the specified server occurs
over a TCP/IP session without SSL.
Yes
Specifies an SSL session for communication with the specified server. The
following conditions apply if you specify YES:
v Before starting the servers, self-signed certificates of the partner servers
must be in the key database file (cert.kdb) of each of the servers.
v You can define multiple server names with different parameters for the
same target server.
v SSL support is active if the server options file contains the SSLTCPPORT or
SSLTCPADMINPORT option or if a server is defined with SSL=YES at startup.

Command Description
UPDATE SPACETRIGGER (Update the space triggers)
Use this command to update settings for triggers that determine when and how
the server resolves space shortages in storage pools that use sequential-access FILE
and random-access DISK device classes.
For storage pools with a parameter RECLAMATIONTYPE=SNAPLOCK, space

triggers are not enabled.
Important: Space trigger functions and storage pool space calculations take into
account the space remaining in each directory. Ideally, you associate each directory
with a separate file system. If you specify multiple directories for a device class
and the directories reside in the same file system, the server calculates space by
adding values representing the space remaining in each directory. These space
calculations will be inaccurate. Rather than choosing a storage pool with sufficient
space for an operation, the server might choose the wrong storage pool and run
out of space prematurely. For space triggers, an inaccurate calculation might result
in a failure to expand the space available in a storage pool. Failure to expand space
in a storage pool is one of the conditions that can cause a trigger to become
disabled. If a trigger is disabled because the space in a storage pool could not be
expanded, you can re-enable the trigger by specifying the following command:
update spacetrigger stg. No further changes are required to the space trigger.
See the DEFINE SPACETRIGGER command for more information.
Privilege class
privilege.
Syntax
UPDate SPACETrigger STG
Fullpct = percent

SPACEexpansion = percent EXPansionprefix = prefix

Parameters
STG (Required)
Specifies a storage pool space trigger
Fullpct
This parameter specifies the utilization percentage of the storage pool.
When this value is exceeded, the space trigger creates new volumes.
You can determine storage pool utilization by issuing the QUERY STGPOOL
command with FORMAT=DETAILED. The percentage of storage pool
utilization for the storage pool is displayed in the field "Space Trigger Util."
The calculation for this percentage does not include potential scratch volumes.
The calculation for the percentage utilization used for migration and
reclamation, however, does include potential scratch volumes.

SPACEexpansion
For space triggers for sequential-access FILE-type storage pools, this parameter
is used in determining the number of additional volumes that are created in
the storage pool. Volumes are created using the MAXCAPACITY value from
the storage pool's device class. For space triggers for random-access DISK
storage pools, the space trigger creates a single volume using the
EXPANSIONPREFIX.
EXPansionprefix
This specifies the prefix that the server uses to create new storage pool files.
This parameter is optional and applies only to random-access DISK device
classes. The default prefix is the server installation path.
The prefix can include one or more directory separator characters, for example:
/opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/
You can specify up to 250 characters. If you specify a prefix that is not valid,
automatic expansion can fail.
This parameter is not valid for space triggers for sequential-access FILE storage
pools. Prefixes are obtained from the directories specified with the associated
device class.
STGPOOL
Specifies the storage pool associated with this space trigger. If the STGPOOL
parameter is not specified, the default storage pool space trigger is updated.
This parameter does not apply to storage pools with the parameter
RECLAMATIONTYPE=SNAPLOCK.
Example: Increase the amount of space for a storage pool
Increase the amount of space in a storage pool by 50 percent when it is filled to 80

percent utilization of existing volumes. Space will be created in the directories
associated with the device class.

start migration of files by node to the next storage pool, as defined with the
NEXTSTGPOOL parameter. You can specify HIGHMIG=100 to prevent migration
for this storage pool.
LOwmig
Specifies that the server stops migration for this storage pool when the amount
of data in the pool reaches this percentage of the pool's estimated capacity. You
can specify an integer from 0 to 99 for this optional parameter.
When migration is by node or file space, depending upon collocation, the level
of the storage pool can fall below the value that you specified for this
parameter. To empty the storage pool, set LOWMIG=0.
CAChe
Specifies whether the migration process leaves a cached copy of a file in this
storage pool after you migrate the file to the next storage pool. This parameter
is optional. Possible values are:
Yes
Specifies that caching is enabled.
No Specifies that caching is disabled.
Using cache might improve your ability to retrieve files, but might affect the
performance of other processes. See the Administrator's Guide for details.
MIGPRocess
Specifies the number of processes that are used for migrating files from this
storage pool. This parameter is optional. You can specify an integer from 1 to
999.
During migration, these processes are run in parallel to provide the potential
for improved migration rates.
Tips:
v The number of migration processes is dependent upon the following
settings:
– The setting of the MIGPROCESS parameter
– The collocation setting of the next pool
– The number of nodes or the number of collocation groups with data in
the storage pool that is being migrated
For this example, MIGPROCESS =6, the next pool COLLOCATE parameter is NODE,
but there are only two nodes with data on the storage pool. Migration
processing consists of only two processes, not six. If the COLLOCATE parameter
is GROUP group and both nodes are in the same group, migration processing
consists of only one process. If the COLLOCATE parameter is NO or FILESPACE
group, and each node has two file spaces with backup data, then migration
processing consists of only four processes.
v When you specify this parameter, consider whether the simultaneous-write
function is enabled for server data migration. Each migration process
requires a mount point and a drive for each copy storage pool and
active-data pool that is defined to the target storage pool.
MIGDelay
before it becomes eligible for migration. To calculate a value to compare to the
specified MIGDELAY value, the server counts the following items:
v The number of days that the file was in the storage pool
v The number of days, if any, since the file was retrieved by a client
The lesser of the two values are compared to the specified MIGDELAY value. For
example, if all the following conditions are true, a file is not migrated:
v A file was in a storage pool for five days.
v The file was accessed by a client within the past three days.
v The value that is specified for the MIGDELAY parameter is four days.
default is 0, which means that you do not want to delay migration.
If you want the server to count the number of days that are based on when a
file was stored and not when it was retrieved, use the NORETRIEVEDATE server
option.
MIGContinue
migration delay time. This parameter is optional.
Yes
time.

AUTOCopy
Specifies when Tivoli Storage Manager runs simultaneous-write operations to
copy storage pools and active-data pools. This parameter affects the following
operations:
None
CLient
import processes.
MIGRation
All
COPYSTGpools
writes data. You can specify a maximum of three copy pool names that are
separated by commas. Spaces between the names of the copy pools are not
allowed. To add or remove one or more copy storage pools, specify the pool
name or names that you want to include in the updated list. For example, if
the existing copy pool list includes COPY1 and COPY2 and you want to add
COPY3, specify COPYSTGPOOLS=COPY1,COPY2,COPY3. To remove all
existing copy storage pools that are associated with the primary storage pool,
specify a null string ("") for the value (for example, COPYSTGPOOLS="").
When specifying a value for the COPYSTGPOOLS parameter, you can also specify
a value for the COPYCONTINUE parameter. For more information, see the
The server can write data simultaneously to copy storage pools for the
clients or application clients that are using the Tivoli Storage Manager API
clients
Restrictions: The simultaneous-write function is not supported for the

following store operations:
v When the operation is using LAN-free data movement. Simultaneous-write
operations take precedence over LAN-free data movement, causing the
operations to go over the LAN. However, the simultaneous-write
configuration is accepted.
v NAS backup operations. If the primary storage pool specified in the
DESTINATION or TOCDESTINATION in the copy group of the management class
has copy storage pools that are defined:
– The copy storage pools are ignored
– The data is stored into the primary storage pool only

COPYContinue
parameter is optional. When you specify the COPYCONTINUE parameter, either a
COPYSTGPOOLS list must exist or the COPYSTGPOOLS parameter must also be
specified.

Restrictions:
ACTIVEDATApools
the destination storage pool that is specified in the copy group. The primary
storage pool is specified by the copy group of the management class that is
bound to the data. For details, refer to information about the
simultaneous-write function in the Administrator's Guide.
Restrictions:
1. This parameter is available only to primary storage pools that use
“NATIVE” or “NONBLOCK” data format. This parameter is not available
for storage pools that use the following data formats:
v NETAPPDUMP
v CELERRADUMP
v NDMPDUMP
2. Writing data simultaneously to active-data pools is not supported when
you use LAN-free data movement. Simultaneous-write operations take
over the LAN. However, the simultaneous-write configuration is followed.
TOCDESTINATION in the copy group of the management class has active-data
pools that are defined:
v The active-data pools are ignored
v The data is stored into the primary storage pool only
4. You cannot use the simultaneous-write function with Centera storage
devices.
5. Data that is being imported is not stored in active-data pools. After an
import operation, use the COPY ACTIVEDATA command to store the imported
data in an active-data pool.

SHRED
Specifies whether data is physically overwritten when it is deleted. This
parameter is optional. You can specify an integer from 0 to 10.
If you specify a value of zero, the Tivoli Storage Manager server deletes the
data from the database. However, the storage that is used to contain the data is
not overwritten, and the data exists in storage until that storage is reused for
other data. It might be possible to discover and reconstruct the data after it is
deleted. Changing the value (for example, resetting it to 0) does not affect data
that was deleted and is waiting to be overwritten.
If you specify a value greater than 0, the Tivoli Storage Manager server deletes
the data both logically and physically. The server overwrites the storage that is
used to contain the data the specified number of times. This overwriting
increases the difficulty of discovering and reconstructing the data after it is
deleted.
To ensure that all copies of the data are shredded, specify a SHRED value
greater than zero for the storage pool that is specified in the NEXTSTGPOOL
parameter. Do not specify either the COPYSTGPOOLS or ACTIVEDATAPOOLS.
Specifying relatively high values for the overwrite count generally improves
the level of security, but might affect performance adversely.
Overwriting of deleted data is done asynchronously after the delete operation
is complete. Therefore, the space that is occupied by the deleted data remains
occupied for some time. The space is not available as free space for new data.
A SHRED value greater than zero cannot be used if the value of the CACHE
parameter is YES. If you want to enable shredding for an existing storage pool
for which caching is already enabled, you must change the value of the
CACHE parameter to NO. Existing cached files remain in storage so that
subsequent retrieval requests can be satisfied quickly. If space is needed to
store new data, the existing cached files are erased so that the space they
occupied can be used for the new data. The existing cached files are not
shredded when they are erased.
Important: After an export operation finishes and identifies files for export,
any change to the storage pool SHRED value is ignored. An export operation
that is suspended retains the original SHRED value throughout the operation.
You might want to consider canceling your export operation if changes to the
storage pool SHRED value jeopardize the operation. You can reissue the export
command after any needed cleanup.

Example: Update a random access storage pool to allow caching
Update the random access storage pool that is named BACKUPPOOL to allow
caching when the server migrates files to the next storage pool.
update stgpool backuppool cache=yes
UPDATE STGPOOL (Update a primary sequential access pool)
Use this command to update a primary sequential access storage pool.
Restrictions:
1. You cannot use this command to change the data format for the storage pool.
2. If the value for DATAFORMAT is NETAPPDUMP, CELERRADUMP, or
NDMPDUMP, you can modify only the following attributes:

NEXTstgpool
Specifies a primary storage pool to which files are migrated. You cannot
migrate data from a sequential access storage pool to a random access storage
pool. This parameter is optional. The next storage pool must be a primary

To remove an existing value, specify a null string ("").
If this storage pool does not have a next storage pool, the server cannot
migrate files from this storage pool and cannot store files that exceed the
maximum size for this storage pool in another storage pool.
When there is insufficient space available in the current storage pool, the
NEXTSTGPOOL parameter for sequential access storage pools does not allow data
to be stored into the next pool. In this case, the server issues a message and the
transaction fails.
For next storage pools with a device type of FILE, the server completes a
preliminary check to determine whether sufficient space is available. If space is
not available, the server skips to the next storage pool in the hierarchy. If space
is available, the server attempts to store data in that pool. However, it is
possible that the storage operation might fail because, at the time the actual
storage operation is attempted, the space is no longer available.

the storage pool, unexpired data is moved from the volumes that are being
reclaimed to the storage pool named with this parameter.
A reclaim storage pool is most useful for a storage pool that has only one drive
in its library. When you specify this parameter, the server moves all data from
reclaimed volumes to the reclaim storage pool regardless of the number of
drives in the library.

sequential storage pools that will be involved with the migration, and the
To access a sequential-access volume, Tivoli Storage Manager uses a mount
point and, if the device type is not FILE, a physical drive. The number of
available mount points and drives depends on other Tivoli Storage Manager
sequential access storage pools that are involved in the migration.
For example, suppose you want to simultaneously migrate the files from
volumes in two primary sequential storage pools and that you want to specify
three processes for each of the storage pools. The storage pools have the same
device class. Assuming that the storage pool to which files are being migrated
has the same device class as the storage pool from which files are being
migrated, each process requires two mount points and, if the device type is not
FILE, two drives. (One drive is for the input volume, and the other drive is for
the output volume.) To run six migration processes simultaneously, you need a
total of at least 12 mount points and 12 drives. The device class for the storage
pools must have a mount limit of at least 12.

If the number of migration processes you specify is more than the number of
time, the migration processes will end. For information about specifying the
154.
The Tivoli Storage Manager server will start the specified number of migration
processes regardless of the number of volumes that are eligible for migration.
For example, if you specify ten migration processes and only six volumes are
eligible for migration, the server will start ten processes and four of them will
complete without processing a volume.
Note: When you specify this parameter, consider whether the

simultaneous-write function is enabled for server data migration. Each
migration process requires a mount point and a drive for each copy storage
pool and active-data pool that is defined to the target storage pool.
AUTOCopy
Specifies when Tivoli Storage Manager completes simultaneous-write
operations. This parameter affects the following operations:
If the AUTOCOPY option is set to ALL or CLIENT, and there is at least one storage
pool that is listed in the COPYSTGPOOLS or ACTIVEDATAPOOLS options, any
client-side deduplication is disabled.

writes data. You can specify a maximum of three copy pool names that are
separated by commas. Spaces between the names of the copy pools are not
allowed. To add or remove one or more copy storage pools, specify the pool
name or names that you want to include in the updated list. For example, if
the existing copy pool list includes COPY1 and COPY2 and you want to add
COPY3, specify COPYSTGPOOLS=COPY1,COPY2,COPY3. To remove all
existing copy storage pools that are associated with the primary storage pool,
specify a null string ("") for the value (for example, COPYSTGPOOLS="").
When you specify a value for the COPYSTGPOOLS parameter, you can also specify
a value for the COPYCONTINUE parameter. For more information, see the

Parameters
Specifies the storage pool volume to update. You can use wildcard characters
to specify names.
ACCess
Specifies how client nodes and server processes (such as migration) can access
files in the storage pool volume. This parameter is optional. Possible values
are:
READWrite
Specifies that client nodes and server processes can read from and write to
files stored on the volume.
If the volume being updated is an empty scratch volume that had an
access mode of offsite, the server deletes the volume from the database.
READOnly
Specifies that client nodes and server processes can only read files stored
on the volume.
UNAVailable
Specifies that neither client nodes nor server processes can access files
Before making a random access volume unavailable, you must vary the
volume offline. After you make a random access volume unavailable, you
cannot vary the volume online.
If you make a sequential access volume unavailable, the server does not
attempt to mount the volume.
DEStroyed
Specifies that a primary storage pool volume has been permanently
damaged. Neither client nodes nor server processes can access files stored
on the volume. Use this access mode to indicate an entire volume that
needs to be restored by using the RESTORE STGPOOL command. After all files
on a destroyed volume have been restored to other volumes, the server
automatically deletes the destroyed volume from the database.
Only volumes in primary storage pools can be updated to DESTROYED.
Before updating a random access volume to DESTROYED access, you must
vary the volume offline. After you update a random access volume to
DESTROYED, you cannot vary the volume online.
If you update a sequential access volume to DESTROYED, the server does
not attempt to mount the volume.
If a volume contains no files and you change the access mode to
DESTROYED, the server deletes the volume from the database.
OFfsite
Specifies that a copy storage pool volume is at an offsite location from
which it cannot be mounted. Only volumes in copy storage pools can have
the access mode of OFFSITE.
Use this mode to help you track volumes that you move to offsite
locations. See the Administrator's Guide for details.
If you specify values for both the ACCESS and LOCATION parameters but the
access mode cannot be updated for a particular volume, the location attribute
is also not updated for that volume. For example, if you specify
ACCESS=OFFSITE and a LOCATION value for a primary storage pool volume,
neither the access nor location values are updated because a primary storage
pool volume cannot be given an access mode of OFFSITE.
LOcation
Specifies the location of the volume. This parameter is optional. It can be
specified only for volumes in sequential access storage pools. The maximum
length of the location is 255 characters. Enclose the location in quotation marks
if it contains any blank characters. To remove a previously defined location,
specify the null string ("").

WHEREACCess
Specifies the current access mode of volumes to be updated. Use this
parameter to restrict the update to volumes that currently have the specified
access mode. This parameter is optional. You can specify multiple access
modes by separating the modes with commas and no intervening spaces. If
you do not specify a value for this parameter, the update is not restricted by
the current access mode of a volume. Possible values are:
READWrite
Update volumes with an access mode of READWRITE.
READOnly
Update volumes with an access mode of READONLY.
UNAVailable
Update volumes with an access mode of UNAVAILABLE.
OFfsite
Update volumes with an access mode of OFFSITE.
DEStroyed
Update volumes with an access mode of DESTROYED.
WHERESTatus
Specifies the status of volumes to be updated. Use this parameter to restrict the
update to volumes that have a specified status. This parameter is optional. You
can specify multiple status values by separating the values with commas and
no intervening spaces. If you do not specify a value for this parameter, the
update is not restricted by volume status. Possible values are:
ONline
Update volumes with a status of ONLINE.

OFfline
Update volumes with a status of OFFLINE.
EMPty
Update volumes with a status of EMPTY.
PENding
Update volumes with a status of PENDING. These are volumes from
which all files have been deleted, but the time specified by the
REUSEDELAY parameter has not elapsed.
FILling
Update volumes with a status of FILLING.
FULl
Update volumes with a status of FULL.
Preview
Specifies whether you want to preview the update operation without actually
updating volumes. This parameter is optional. The default value is NO.
No Specifies that volumes are actually updated.
Yes
Specifies that you want only to preview the update operation. This option
displays the volumes that will be updated if you actually perform the
update operation.

VALIDATE POLICYSET (Verify a policy set)
Use this command to verify that a policy set is complete and valid before you
activate it. The command examines the management class and copy group
definitions in the policy set and reports on conditions that you need to consider
before activating the policy set.
The VALIDATE POLICYSET command fails if any of the following conditions exist:
v The policy set has no default management class.
v A copy group within the policy set specifies a copy storage pool as a destination.
v A management class specifies a copy storage pool as the destination for files that
were migrated by a Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management client.
v A TOCDESTINATION parameter is specified, and the storage pool is either a
copy pool or has a data format other than NATIVE or NONBLOCK.
The server issues warning messages for the following conditions:

v A copy group specifies a storage pool that does not exist as a destination for
backed-up or archived files.
If you activate a policy set with copy groups that specify nonexistent storage
pools, the client backup or archive operations fail.
v A management class specifies a storage pool that does not exist as a destination
for files migrated by Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management clients.
v The policy set does not have one or more management classes that exist in the

Chapter 3. Server options
At installation, IBM Tivoli Storage Manager provides a server options file that
contains a set of default options to start the server.
The file is:

dsmserv.opt
See the Installation Guide for your platform to determine where your server options
file resides.
Server options let you customize the following:

v Communication
v Server storage
v Client-server
v Date, number, time, and language
v Database and recovery log
v Data transfer
v Message
v Event logging
v Security and licensing
Several other options are available for miscellaneous purposes.
To display the current option settings, enter:

query option
Modifying server options

The server reads the server options file at server initialization. When you update a
server option by editing the file, you must stop and start the server to activate the
updated server options file.
About this task
You can change some options dynamically without stopping and starting the
server, by using the SETOPT command. See “SETOPT (Set a server option for
dynamic update)” on page 1168 for details.
The dsmserv.opt.smp file (also provided at installation) contains the format of the
options file and all the default settings. You can change any options in the
dsmserv.opt.smp file. To have the server use the changed options, you must
rename the file to dsmserv.opt. To activate an option within the server options file,
remove the *>>> that precedes the option. The server ignores any options preceded
by *>>>.

Types of server options
Server options let you customize how some functions and processes work.

3494SHARED
The 3494SHARED option specifies whether an IBM 3494 library can share
applications other than Tivoli Storage Manager.
The default is NO, meaning that no application other than Tivoli Storage Manager
can share the 3494. When you set this option to YES, for every mount request,
Tivoli Storage Manager determines if each drive is in use. After the query
completes, Tivoli Storage Manager selects an available drive that is not in use by
another application. Enable sharing only if you have more than two drives in your
library. If you are currently sharing an IBM 3494 library with other applications,
you must specify this option.
Syntax
3494SHARED Yes
No
Parameters
Yes
Specifies that other applications can share the 3494 library.
No Specifies that no other applications can share the 3494 library.
Examples
Enable sharing of a 3494 library:

3494shared yes

ACSACCESSID
The ACSACCESSID option specifies the ID for the ACS access control for an
ACSLS library.
Syntax
ACSACCESSID name
Parameters
name
Specifies a 1 to 64 character ID. The default ID is your local host name.
Examples
acsaccessid region
ACSLOCKDRIVE
The ACSLOCKDRIVE option specifies if the drives within the ACSLS libraries are
locked. Drive locking ensures the exclusive use of the drive in the ACSLS library in
a shared environment. However, there is some performance gain if libraries are not
locked. When other applications do not share the Tivoli Storage Manager drives,
drive locking is not required.
Syntax
ACSLOCKDRIVE Yes
No
Parameters
Yes
Specifies that drives are locked.
No Specifies that drives are not locked.
Examples
acslockdrive yes

ACSQUICKINIT
The ACSQUICKINIT option specifies whether, at server startup, the initialization of
the ACSLS library is a quick or full initialization. The default is Yes. A quick
initialization avoids the overhead associated with synchronizing the Tivoli Storage
Manager server inventory with the ACSLS library inventory (through an audit of
the library).
Syntax
ACSQUICKINIT Yes
No
Parameters
Yes
Specifies that a quick initialization of the ACSLS library is performed. When
the option is set to Yes, Tivoli Storage Manager bypasses library inventory
verification, initializing the library quickly, and making it available to Tivoli
Storage Manager sooner than if a full initialization is done.
This option should be set to Yes when it is known that the physical library
inventory and the Tivoli Storage Manager library inventory have not changed
and an audit is not needed.
No
Specifies that a full initialization of the ACSLS library and library inventory is
performed. When the option is set to No, Tivoli Storage Manager synchronizes
its library volume inventory with what is reported by the ACSLS library
manager.
Examples
acsquickinit yes
ACSTIMEOUTX
The ACSTIMEOUTX option specifies the multiple for the built-in timeout value for
ACSLS APIs. The built-in timeout value for the ENTER, EJECT, and AUDIT ACS
API is 1800 seconds; for all other ACSLS APIs it is 600 seconds. For example, if the
multiple value specified is 5, the timeout value for audit API becomes 9000
seconds, and all other APIs become 3000 seconds.
Syntax
ACSTIMEOUTX value
Parameters
value
Specifies the multiple for the built-in timeout value for ACSLS API. The range
is from 1 to 100. The default is 1.
Examples
acstimeoutx 1

ACTIVELOGDIRECTORY
The ACTIVELOGDIRECTORY option specifies the name of the directory where all
active logs are stored.
This option is appended to the options file when the DSMSERV FORMAT
command is run. Under normal operating conditions, the option does not need to
be changed. See “DSMSERV FORMAT (Format the database and log)” on page
1573 for guidance on this option.
Syntax
ACTIVELOGDirectory dir_name
Parameters
dir_name
Specifies a fully qualified directory name. The directory must exist, it must be
empty, and it must be accessible by the user ID of the database manager. If you
change the active log directory, Tivoli Storage Manager moves the existing
active logs to the location that is specified by this directory. The maximum
number of characters is 175.
Examples
activelogdirectory /tsm/activelogdir
ACTIVELOGSIZE
The ACTIVELOGSIZE option sets the total log size.
command is run. Under normal operating conditions the option does not need to
be changed. See “DSMSERV FORMAT (Format the database and log)” on page
1573 for guidance on this option.
Syntax
16GB
ACTIVELOGSize megabytes
Parameters
megabytes
Specifies the size of the active log in megabytes. The minimum value is 2048
MB (2 GB); the maximum is 131,072 MB (128 GB). If you specify an odd
number, the value is rounded up to the next even number. The default is
16,384 MB (16 GB).
Examples
activelogsize 8192

ADMINCOMMTIMEOUT
The ADMINCOMMTIMEOUT option specifies how long the server waits for an
expected administrative client message during an operation that causes a database
update.
If the length of time exceeds this time-out period, the server ends the session with
the administrative client. You may want to increase the time-out value to prevent
administrative client sessions from timing out.
You can update this server option without stopping and restarting the server by
using the SETOPT command. See “SETOPT (Set a server option for dynamic
update)” on page 1168.
Syntax
60
ADMINCOMMTimeout seconds
Parameters
seconds
Specifies the maximum number of seconds that a server waits for an
administrative client response. The default value is 60. The minimum value is
1.
Examples
admincommtimeout 60
ADMINIDLETIMEOUT
The ADMINIDLETIMEOUT option specifies the amount of time, in minutes, that
an administrative client session can be idle before the server cancels the session.
If there is a heavy network load in your environment, you might want to increase
the time-out value to prevent administrative clients from timing out. However, a
large number of idle sessions could prevent other users from connecting to the
server.
Syntax
15
ADMINIDLETIMEOUT minutes
Parameters
minutes
Specifies the maximum number of minutes that a server waits for an idle
administrative client. The default value is 15 minutes. The minimum value is 1
minute.
Examples
adminidletimeout 20

ADMINONCLIENTPORT
The ADMINONCLIENTPORT option defines whether or not the TCPPORT can be
used by administrative sessions. The default is YES.
Syntax
ADMINONCLIENTPORT YES
NO
Parameters
YES
If the option is set to YES, or if the TCPPORT and TCPADMINPORT are the
same value (the default), then administrative sessions can use the TCPPORT.
NO If the option is set to NO, and if the TCPADMINPORT value is different than
the TCPPORT value, then administrative sessions cannot use the TCPPORT.
Examples
Specify that the TCPPORT can be used by administrative sessions.

adminonclientport yes
ALIASHALT
The ALIASHALT option allows administrators to give the Tivoli Storage Manager
HALT command a different name.
The administrative client recognizes an alias for the HALT command when the
client is started with the CHECKALIASHALT option specified. See “Administrative
client options” on page 5 for details.
Syntax
ALIASHALT newname
Parameters
newname
Specifies the alias of the HALT command for shutting down the Tivoli Storage
Manager server. Minimum length of newname is 1; maximum length is 16.
Examples

ARCHFAILOVERLOGDIRECTORY
The ARCHFAILOVERLOGDIRECTORY option specifies the directory which the
server uses to store archive log files that cannot be stored in the archive log
directory.
command is run. Typically the directory does not need to be changed.
Syntax
ARCHFailoverlogdirectory dir_name
Parameters
dir_name
Specifies a fully qualified directory name. The maximum number of characters
is 175.
Examples
archfailoverlogdirectory /tsm/archfailoverlog
| ARCHLOGCOMPRESS
| You can enable or disable compression of archive logs on the Tivoli Storage
| Manager server. By compressing the archive logs, you reduce the amount of space
| that is required for storage.
| The ARCHLOGCOMPRESS server option specifies whether log files that are written to
| the archive directory for logs are compressed.
| Syntax
| No
ARCHLOGCOMPress
Yes
|
| Parameters
| No Specifies that log files that are written to the archive log directory are not
| compressed. The default is No.
| Yes
| Specifies that log files that are written to the archive log directory are
| compressed.
| Restriction: Use caution when you enable the ARCHLOGCOMPRESS server option on
| systems with sustained high volume usage and heavy workloads. Enabling this
| option in this system environment can cause delays in archiving log files from the
| active log file system to the archive log file system. This delay can cause the active
| log file system to run out of space. Be sure to monitor the available space in the
| active log file system after archive log compression is enabled. If the active log
| directory file system usage nears out of space conditions, the ARCHLOGCOMPRESS
| server option must be disabled. You can use the SETOPT command to disable
| archive log compression immediately without halting the server.
| Example
| To enable compression of log files that are written to the archive log directory,
| specify the following option:
| archlogcompress yes

ARCHLOGDIRECTORY
The ARCHLOGDIRECTORY option specifies a directory that the database manager
can archive a log file into after all the transactions represented in that log file are
completed.
command is run.
Syntax
ARCHLOGDirectory dir_name
Parameters
dir_name
Specifies a fully qualified directory name. The maximum number of characters
is 175.
Examples
archlogdirectory /tsm/archlog
ARCHLOGUSEDTHRESHOLD
The ARCHLOGUSEDTHRESHOLD option specifies when to start an automatic
database backup in relation to the percentage of archive log file space used. The
default is 80 percent.
The ARCHLOGUSEDTHRESHOLD option prevents frequent automatic backups. For

example, if the archive log file directory resides on a file system or drive that is
400 GB, a database backup is triggered if there is less than 80 GB of free space.
Repeated database backups might cause the server to use an excessive amount of
scratch tapes.
Syntax
80
ARCHLOGUSEDTHRESHOLD value
Parameters
value
The percentage of archive log file space used before an automatic backup
starts.
Specify to start an automatic backup when 90 percent of archive log file space is
used.
archlogusedthreshold 90

ASSISTVCRRECOVERY
The ASSISTVCRRECOVERY option specifies whether Tivoli Storage Manager assists an
IBM 3590 drive in recovering from a lost or corrupted Vital Cartridge Records
(VCR) condition. If you specify YES (the default) and if Tivoli Storage Manager
detects an error during the mount processing, it locates to the end-of-data during
the dismount processing to allow the drives to restore the VCR. During the tape
operation, there might be some small effect on performance because the drive
cannot complete a fast locate with a lost or corrupted VCR. However, there is no
loss of data.
Syntax
ASSISTVCRRECovery Yes
No
Parameters
Yes
Specifies server assistance in recovery.
No Specifies no server assistance in recovery.
Examples
Turn off recovery assistance:

assistvcrrecovery no
AUDITSTORAGE
As part of a license audit operation, the server calculates, by node, the amount of
server storage used for backup, archive, and space–managed files. For servers
managing large amounts of data, this calculation can take a great deal of CPU time
and can stall other server activity. You can use the AUDITSTORAGE option to
specify that storage is not to be calculated as part of a license audit.
Note: This option was previously called NOAUDITSTORAGE.
Syntax
AUDITSTorage Yes
No
Parameters
Yes
Specifies that storage is to be calculated as part of a license audit. The default
is Yes.
No Specifies that storage is not to be calculated as part of a license audit.
Examples
auditstorage yes

CHECKTAPEPOS
The CHECKTAPEPOS option specifies whether the Tivoli Storage Manager server
validates the position of data blocks on tape.
The CHECKTAPEPOS option applies only to operations that use tape drives. It does
not apply to non-tape, sequential-access device classes such as FILE. If the server
information about position does not match the position that is detected by the
drive, an error message is displayed, the transaction is rolled back, and the data is
not committed to the database.
Using the CHECKTAPEPOS option, you can enable append-only mode for IBM LTO
Generation 5 and later drives, and for any drives that support this feature. When it
is enabled, the drive issues an error after it receives instructions to overwrite any
data on the currently mounted volume. The Tivoli Storage Manager server
repositions the tape to the correct block and continues writing data. Append-only
mode provides added protection by preventing most data overwrite situations. If
you are using a drive that supports this feature, you can validate data position on
tape by using both Tivoli Storage Manager and the drive or you can enable one or
the other.
Note: When you use SAN Tape acceleration functions in the fabric, set
CHECKTAPEPOS to DRIVEonly or No to avoid false positive positioning errors. The
Tivoli Storage Manager CHECKTAPEPOS server option does not require an
append-only capable drive.
Changes to the CHECKTAPEPOS option affect mounts only after the update to the
drive is complete.
The default is YES.
Syntax
CHECKTAPEPOS Yes
No
TSMonly
DRIVEonly
Parameters
Yes
Specifies that the Tivoli Storage Manager server validates data position on
tape. For drives that support append-only mode, this parameter specifies that
Tivoli Storage Manager enables the drive to also validate the data position
during each WRITE operation to prevent data overwrite. Yes is the default.
No Specifies that all data position validation is turned off.
TSMonly
Specifies that the Tivoli Storage Manager server validates data position on
tape. The server does not use append-only mode even if the drive supports the
feature
DRIVEonly
Specifies that the Tivoli Storage Manager server enables append-only mode for
drives that support this feature. The server does not validate the data position
on tape.
Example
Validate data position on tape and enable append-only mode for a supported
drive:
checktapepos yes

CLIENTDEDUPTXNLIMIT
The CLIENTDEDUPTXNLIMIT option specifies the maximum size of a transaction when
client-side deduplicated data is backed up or archived.
When you use client-side deduplication for large objects, intensive database
activity can result from long-running transactions that are required to update the
database. High levels of database activity can produce the following symptoms:
v Reduced throughput for client backup and archive operations
v Resource contention resulting from concurrent server operations
v Excessive recovery log activity
The extent to which these symptoms occur depends on the number and size of
objects being stored using client-side data deduplication, the intensity and type of
concurrent operations taking place on the Tivoli Storage Manager server, and the
Tivoli Storage Manager server configuration.
| With the CLIENTDEDUPTXNLIMIT server option, you can specify a maximum size, in
| gigabytes, for transactions when client-side deduplicated data is backed up or
| archived. If an object or set of objects in a single transaction exceeds the limit
| specified by CLIENTDEDUPTXNLIMIT, the objects are not deduplicated by the client,
| and the transaction can fail. You can specify a value 32 - 2048 GB. The default
| value is 300 GB.
If an object or set of objects in a single transaction exceeds the limit specified by

CLIENTDEDUPTXNLIMIT, the objects or set of objects is not deduplicated by the client.
However, the objects are sent to the server. These objects can be deduplicated on
the server, depending on whether the destination storage pool is configured for
data deduplication and on the value of the SERVERDEDUPTXNLIMIT option. Objects in
a deduplication-enabled storage pool that are less than the value of the
SERVERDEDUPTXNLIMIT are deduplicated by a server duplicate-identification process.
The appropriate value for this option depends on the Tivoli Storage Manager
server configuration and concurrent server activity. You can specify a high value
for this option if you minimize resource contention. To minimize resource
contention, perform operations, such as backup, archive, duplicate identification
(the IDENTIFY DUPLICATES command), and reclamation, at different times.
To update this server option without stopping and restarting the server, use the
SETOPT command.
Syntax
300
CLIENTDEDUPTXNlimit gigabytes
Parameters
gigabytes
| Specifies the maximum size, in gigabytes, of objects that can be backed up or
| archived using client-side data deduplication. You can specify a value 32 -
| 2048. The default value is 300.
Examples
Disable client-side data deduplication for all objects over 80 GB:

clientdeduptxnlimit 80

COMMMETHOD
The COMMMETHOD option specifies a communication method to be used by the
server.
You can configure the server to use multiple communication methods. The more
commonly used are the TCPIP, V6TCPIP, and SHAREDMEM communication
methods. To specify multiple communication methods, enable each method by
adding a COMMMETHOD stanza to the dsmserv.opt options file.
Important: When you enable a communication method, you must also add the
options that are specific to the communication method to the options file.
Syntax
TCPIP
COMMMethod NONE
SHAREDMEM
SNMP
TCPIP
V6TCPIP
Parameters
You can choose one of the following communication methods:

NONE
Specifies that no communication method is used. This option does not allow
users to connect to the server and is useful for experimenting with policy
commands.
SHAREDMEM
Specifies the shared memory communication method option. This method uses
the same area of memory to send data between several applications at the
same time. Both the server and the backup-archive client need to be configured
to support the shared memory communication method, and they must be
installed on the same machine.
SNMP
Specifies the SNMP communication method option.
TCPIP
Specifies the TCP/IP communication method option. This is the default. When
TCPIP is specified, TCP/IP Version 4 is used exclusively.
V6TCPIP
Specifies the TCP/IP communication method option. If TCP/IP Version 4 and
Version 6 are both configured, Tivoli Storage Manager uses both protocols
simultaneously. If both COMMMETHOD TCPIP and COMMMETHOD
V6TCPIP are specified, V6TCPIP overrides the specification of TCPIP. A valid
domain name server (DNS) environment must be present to use either TCP/IP
V4 or TCP/IP V6 if this option is specified.
Examples
Example of specifying multiple communication methods to be used by the server

(tcpip and v6tcpip):
commmethod tcpip
commmethod v6tcpip

COMMTIMEOUT
The COMMTIMEOUT option specifies how long the server waits for an expected client
message during an operation that causes a database update. If the length of time
exceeds this time-out, the server ends the session with the client. You may want to
increase the time-out value to prevent clients from timing out. Clients may time
out if there is a heavy network load in your environment or they are backing up
large files.
The COMMTIMEOUT server option is used for non-administrative sessions. See the
ADMINCOMMTIMEOUT option for administrative client sessions.
using the SETOPT command.
Syntax
60
COMMTimeout seconds
Parameters
seconds
Specifies the maximum number of seconds that a server waits for a client
response. The default value is 60. The minimum value is 1.
Examples
commtimeout 60
DBDIAGLOGSIZE
This option helps to control the maximum size of the diagnostic log files.
The database manager uses the diagnostic log files to log messages intended for
troubleshooting purposes. If the log files are not controlled, they can grow to fill
the file system. Use the DBDIAGLOGSIZE option to set the maximum size of the
diagnostic log files.
There can be up to 10 rotating diagnostic log files. Each file name indicates the
order in which the file was created. After a file is full, it is closed, and the next file
is created. When the 10th file is closed, the oldest file is deleted, and a new file is
created. Here is an example of how the rotating log files might look:
db2diag.14.log, db2diag.15.log, ... , db2diag.22.log, db2diag.23.log
When db2diag.23.log is full, db2diag.14.log is deleted, and db2diag.24.log is

created.
The server checks the file space containing the diagnostic log files every hour.
Messages are displayed every 12 hours if either of the following conditions occur:
v The available space in the file system where the diagnostic log files are located is
less than 20% of the total file system space.
v The available space in the file system where the server instance directory is
located is less than 1 GB.
For more information about the db2diag log files, see http://www.ibm.com/
support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_10.5.0.
Syntax
1024
DBDIAGLOGSize megabytes
Parameters
megabytes
Specifies the size of the diagnostic log files in megabytes. The default value is
1024. The minimum value is 2; the maximum value is 9999.
Examples
Specify the size of the diagnostic log files as 5120 megabytes (5 GB):
dbdiaglogsize 5120

DBDIAGPATHFSTHRESHOLD
The DBDIAGPATHFSTHRESHOLD option specifies the threshold for free space on the file
system or disk that contains the db2diag.log file.
When the amount of free space is equal to or less than the specified threshold, the
ANR1545W error message is shown. By default, the message is shown when the
file system or disk has 20% or less of free disk space.
Syntax
DBDIAGPATHFSTHreshold percent
Parameter
percent
Specifies the percentage of available space in the file system. Valid values are
in the range 0 - 100. The default is 20.
Tip: For best results, do not set a low or high value for the percent parameter.
A low value might cause the file system to become full before you can correct
the issue. A full file system might corrupt the server database. A high value
might result in many ANR1545W messages in the server activity log.
Example
Set the threshold value to 10%.

setopt DBDIAGPATHFSTH 10
DBMEMPERCENT
Use this option to specify the percentage of the virtual address space that is
dedicated to the database manager processes.
If applications other than Tivoli Storage Manager server are running on the system,
ensure that the value allows adequate memory for the other applications.
Syntax
DBMEMPERCENT percent
AUTO
Parameters
percent
Set a value from 10 to 99.
AUTO
The database manager sets the percentage automatically to a value that is
between 75 percent and 95 percent of system RAM. The default value is
AUTO.
Examples
dbmempercent 50

DBMTCPPORT
The DBMTCPPORT option specifies the port number on which the TCP/IP
communication driver for the database manager waits for requests for client
sessions.
The specified port number must be reserved for use by the database manager.
By default, the Tivoli Storage Manager server uses interprocess communications

(IPC) to establish connections for the first two connection pools, with a maximum
of 480 connections for each pool. After the first 960 connections are established, the
Tivoli Storage Manager server uses TCP/IP for any additional connections.
Syntax
DBMTCPPort port_number
Parameters
port_number
Specifies the number of the TCP/IP port on which the database manager waits
for communications from the server. Valid values are integers from 1024 to
65535.
The default port number is the value of the server TCPPORT option plus 50,000.
For example, if the server TCPPORT option is 1500, the default DBMTCPPORT
port number would be 51500.
If the TCPPORT server option is greater than 9999, add the last four digits of
its value to 50000. For example, if the TCPPORT option is 11500, 1550 is added
to 50000, resulting in a DBMTCPPORT port number of 51500.
Example
dbmtcpport 51500
DEDUPREQUIRESBACKUP
The DEDUPREQUIRESBACKUP option specifies whether volumes in primary
sequential-access storage pools that are set up for data deduplication can be
reclaimed and whether duplicate data can be discarded before the storage pools
are backed up.
If the value of this option is YES (the default), you must back up data to copy
storage pools that are not set up for data deduplication. Use the BACKUP
STGPOOL command to back up data to copy storage pools.
Be aware that reclamation of a volume in a storage pool that is set up for data
deduplication might not occur when the volume first becomes eligible. The server
makes additional checks to ensure that data from a storage pool that is set up for
data deduplication has been backed up to a copy storage pool. These checks
require more than one BACKUP STGPOOL instance before the server reclaims a
volume. After the server verifies that the data was backed up, the volume is
reclaimed.
You can change this option dynamically using the SETOPT command.
Attention: To minimize the possibility of data loss, do not change the default
setting for this server option. Specify a value of NO only if you do not have any
copy storage pools and are not performing storage pool backups.
Syntax
DEDUPREQUIRESBACKUP Yes
No
Parameters
Yes
Specifies that the storage pool must be backed up before volumes can be
reclaimed and before duplicate data can be discarded. This is the default.
No Specifies that volumes in primary sequential-access storage pools that are set
up for data deduplication can be reclaimed and duplicate data can be
discarded if the storage pools are not backed up.
Examples
Specify that primary sequential-access storage pools that are set up for data
deduplication do not have to be backed up.
deduprequiresbackup no

DEDUPTIER2FILESIZE
The DEDUPTIER2FILESIZE option specifies at what file size Tivoli Storage
Manager begins to use Tier 2 data deduplication.
Syntax
DEDUPTIER2FILESIZE nnn
Parameters
nnn
Specifies the file size, in gigabytes, at which point the Tivoli Storage Manager
server begins using Tier 2 chunking for data deduplication. You can specify a
value from 20 to 9999. The default is 100.
Note: If the value specified or defaulted to for this option is greater than the
value for the SERVERDEDUPTXNLIMIT option, then this option is ignored for
server data deduplication. If the value specified or defaulted to for this option
is greater than the value for CLIENTDEDUPTXNLIMIT, then this option is
ignored for client data deduplication.
Examples
deduptier2filesize 550
DEDUPTIER3FILESIZE
The DEDUPTIER3FILESIZE option specifies at what file size Tivoli Storage Manager
begins to use Tier 3 data deduplication.
Syntax
DEDUPTIER3FILESIZE nnn
Parameters
nnn
Specifies the file size, in gigabytes, at which point the Tivoli Storage Manager
server begins using Tier 3 chunking for data deduplication. You can specify a
value from 90 to 9999. The default is 400.
v If the value specified or defaulted to for this option is greater than the value
for the SERVERDEDUPTXNLIMIT option, then this option is ignored for
server data deduplication.
v If the value specified or defaulted to for this option is greater than the value
for CLIENTDEDUPTXNLIMIT, then this option is ignored for client data
deduplication.
v If the value specified or defaulted to for this option is less than the value
specified or defaulted to for DEDUPTIER2FILESIZE then the value of
DEDUPTIER2FILESIZE is used for this option.
Examples
deduptier3filesize 1150

DEVCONFIG
The DEVCONFIG option specifies the name of a file in which you want Tivoli
Storage Manager to store a backup copy of device configuration information.
Tivoli Storage Manager stores the following information in the device configuration
file:
v Device class definitions created by using the DEFINE DEVCLASS command
v Drive definitions created by using the DEFINE DRIVE command
v Library definitions created by using the DEFINE LIBRARY command
v Library inventory information for the LIBTYPE=SCSI automated libraries
v Path definitions created by using the DEFINE PATH command
v Server definitions created with the DEFINE SERVER command
v Server name created with the SET SERVERNAME command
v Server password created with the SET SERVERPASSWORD command
Note:
v Only path definitions with SRCTYPE=SERVER are backed up to the device
configuration file. Paths of SRCTYPE=DATAMOVER are not written to the file.
v Library volume location information is stored as comments (/*...*/) in the device
configuration file whenever CHECKIN LIBVOLUME, CHECKOUT LIBVOLUME, and AUDIT
LIBRARY commands are issued for SCSI libraries.
Attention: To restore the database after a disaster, you must have a copy of the
current device configuration file. The device configuration file cannot be recreated.
You can include one or more DEVCONFIG options in the server options file. When
you use multiple DEVCONFIG options, Tivoli Storage Manager automatically
updates and stores a backup copy of device configuration information in each file
you specify.
Syntax
DEVCONFig file_name
Parameters
file_name
Specifies the name of a file in which to store a backup copy of device
configuration information.

The DRIVEACQUIRERETRY option lets you specify how many times the server
retries the acquisition of a drive in an IBM 349x library. If the library is shared
among multiple applications, its drives may appear to be available to the server
(through the use of a background polling process) when they are not.
This option is only valid if you specified 3494SHARED YES in the dsmserv.opt file.
If you specified DRIVEACQUIRERETRY NEVER, you need to monitor how long
jobs have been waiting for drives and how long the server has been polling the
drives. You may also need to check the status of these drives in the other Tivoli
Storage Manager servers. There may be cartridges stuck in the drives, and the
other Tivoli Storage Manager servers may have marked the drives as offline. If this
is the case, you need to mark the drives offline in the Tivoli Storage Manager server
that is polling the drives. If necessary, also cancel any waiting jobs.
Syntax
DRIVEACQuireretry Forever
Never
number_of_retries
Parameters
Forever
The acquisition of a drive is retried until one is successfully acquired. This is
the default.
Never
The server does not retry the acquisition of a drive and fails the operation.
number_of_retries
Specifies the maximum number of times, from 1 to 9999, that the server retries
the acquisition of a drive.
Examples
Specify that the server should attempt no more than 10 times to acquire the drive:
driveacquireretry 10
ENABLENASDEDUP
The ENABLENASDEDUP server option specifies whether the server deduplicates data
that is stored by a network-attached storage (NAS) file server. This option applies
only to NetApp file servers.
If the value of this option is NO, the data stored by the file server is skipped
during duplicate-identification processing. If the value of this option is YES, the
value of the DEDUPLICATE parameter in the storage pool definition must be YES.
Syntax
ENABLENASDEDUP No
Yes
Parameters
Yes
Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager server deduplicates data stored by a
NetApp file server.
No Specifies that the server does not deduplicate data stored by a NetApp file
server.
Example
Specify that the server deduplicates data stored by a NetApp file server.
enablenasdedup yes

EVENTSERVER
The EVENTSERVER option specifies whether at startup the server should try to
contact the event server.
Syntax
EVENTSERVer Yes
No
Parameters
Yes
Specifies that, at startup, the server tries to contact the event server. Contact
occurs only if a DEFINE EVENTSERVER command has already been issued.
This is the default.
No Specifies that, at startup, the server does not try to contact the event server.
Examples
eventserver yes
EXPINTERVAL
The EXPINTERVAL option specifies the interval, in hours, between automatic
inventory expiration processes by Tivoli Storage Manager. Inventory expiration
removes client backup and archive file copies from the server as specified by the
management classes to which the client files are bound. If expiration is not run
periodically, storage pool space is not reclaimed from expired client files, and the
server requires more storage space than required by policy.
You can also use the EXPIRE INVENTORY command to start inventory expiration.
Expiration can make space available in your storage pools for additional client
backup or archive files.
Syntax
24
EXPINterval hours
Parameters
hours
Specifies the time, in hours, between automatic inventory expiration processes.
You can specify from 0 to 336 (14 days). A value of 0 means that expiration
must be started with the EXPIRE INVENTORY command. The default is 24.
Examples
expinterval 5

EXPQUIET
The EXPQUIET option specifies whether Tivoli Storage Manager sends detailed
messages during expiration processing.
Syntax
EXPQUiet No
Yes
Parameters
No Specifies that the server sends detailed messages. This is the default.
Yes
Specifies that the server sends only minimal messages. These messages are sent
only for files that have expired based on the copy group in the default
management class or retention grace period for the domain.
Examples
expquiet no
FFDCLOGNAME
The FFDCLOGNAME option specifies a name for the first failure data capture
(FFDC) log.
The FFDC log file is used to gather diagnostic information about the server. When
an error occurs, data about the error is written to the FFDC log file. This
information can be provided to IBM Support to help diagnose problems. The FFDC
log file is in the server instance directory.
Syntax
dsmffdc.log
FFDCLOGNAME file_name
Parameters
file_name
Specifies a file name for the FFDC log file. The file name can be a fully
qualified file name or a file name relative to the server instance directory. The
default value is dsmffdc.log.
Examples
ffdclogname /tsminst1/tsmffdc.log
ffdclogname tsmffdc.log
ffdclogname c:\tsmserv1\tsmffdc.log

FFDCMAXLOGSIZE
The FFDCMAXLOGSIZE option specifies the size for the first failure data capture
(FFDC) log file.
The FFDC log file is used to gather diagnostic information about the server. When
an error occurs, data about the error is written to the FFDC log file. This
information can be provided to IBM Support to help diagnose problems.
Syntax
1024
FFDCMAXLOGSIZE kilobytes
Parameters
kilobytes
Specifies the size to which the FFDC log file can grow before wrapping. The
minimum value is 500. The maximum value is 2097151. The default value is
1024.
To allow the size of the log file to grow indefinitely, specify a value of -1. To
disable the log, specify 0.
Examples
ffdcmaxlogsize 2000
FFDCNUMLOGS
The FFDCNUMLOGS option specifies the number of log files that can be used for
circular logging. The default value is 10.
Circular logging uses a ring of log files to provide recovery from transaction
failures and system crashes. For example, when the dsmffcd.log file is full, it is
renamed to dsmffdc.log.1. If a dsmffdc.log.1 file exists, the dsmffdc.log.1 file is
renamed to dsmffdc.log.2. If a dsmffdc.log.2 exists, the dsmffdc.log.2 file is
renamed to dsmffdc.log.3, and so on, until the FFDCNUMLOGS value is reached.
If there is a log file that is renamed as the FFDCNUMLOGS value is reached, that
log file is deleted.
The minimum value is 1. The maximum value is 100. The default value is 10.
Syntax
10
FFDCNUMLOGS value
Parameters
value
Specifies the number of log files that are used for circular logging.
If you specify a value of 1 and the log file size reaches the
FFDCMAXLOGSIZE, the server continues to write to the log file. Any logging
information is overwritten and the server continues to write to the log file.
Examples
ffdcnumlogs 20

FILEEXIT
The FILEEXIT option specifies a file to which enabled events are routed. Each
logged event is a record in the file.
Syntax
FILEEXIT No file_name REPLACE
Yes APPEND
PRESERVE
Parameters
Yes
Specifies that event logging to the file exit receiver begins automatically at
server startup.
No Specifies that event logging to the file exit receiver does not begin
automatically at server startup. When this parameter has been specified, you
must begin event logging manually by issuing the BEGIN EVENTLOGGING
command.
file_name
Specifies the name of the file in which the events are stored.
REPLACE
Specifies that if the file already exists, it will be overwritten.
APPEND
Specifies that if the file already exists, data is appended to it.
PRESERVE
Specifies that if the file already exists, it will not be overwritten.
Examples
fileexit yes /tsm/server/data replace
FILETEXTEXIT
The FILETEXTEXIT option specifies a file to which enabled events are routed. Each
logged event is a fixed-size, readable line.
Syntax
FILETEXTEXIT No file_name REPLACE
Yes APPEND
PRESERVE
Parameters
Yes
Specifies that event logging to the file exit receiver begins automatically at
server startup.
No Specifies that event logging to the file exit receiver does not begin
command.
file_name
Specifies the name of the file in which the events are stored.
REPLACE
Specifies that if the file already exists, it will be overwritten.
APPEND
Specifies that if the file already exists, data will be appended to it.
PRESERVE
Specifies that if the file already exists, it will not be overwritten.
Examples
filetextexit yes /tsm/server/data replace

FSUSEDTHRESHOLD
The FSUSEDTHRESHOLD option specifies what percentage of the file system can be
filled up by the database before an alert message is issued.
If this value is set to a low number, the activity log might be flooded with
messages about the database space being filled, even if there is still space available.
If the value is set too high, the database space might be filled before you can add
more space to the file system.
Syntax
FSUSEDTHreshold percent
Parameters
percent
Specifies the value of used space in the database. You can specify a value from
0 to 100. The default is 90.
Examples
fsusedthreshold 70
IDLETIMEOUT
The IDLETIMEOUT option specifies the amount of time, in minutes, that a client
session can be idle before the server cancels the session. You may want to increase
the time-out value to prevent clients from timing out if there is a heavy network
load in your environment. Note, however, that a large number of idle sessions
could prevent other users from connecting to the server.
The IDLETIMEOUT server option is used for non-administrative sessions. See the
ADMINIDLETIMEOUT option for administrative client sessions.
Syntax
15
IDLETimeout minutes
Parameters
minutes
Specifies the maximum number of minutes that a server waits for an idle
client. The default value is 15 minutes. The minimum value is 1 minute.
Examples
idletimeout 15

LANGUAGE
The LANGUAGE option controls the initialization of locales. A locale includes the
language and the date, time, and number formats to be used for the console and
server.
If your client and server are running different languages, the messages that are
generated might not be understandable when messages are issued from the client
to the server or if the server sends output to the client.
If initialization of the locale fails, the server defaults to American English.
Syntax
LANGuage AMENG
en_US
locale
Parameters
AMENG
Specifies that American English is used as the default language for the server.
locale
Specifies the name of the locale that is supported by the server. See the
following tables for information on supported locales by operating system.
Note: Tivoli Storage Manager runs in any locale, but defaults to American
English. For the locales listed, language support is available. Refer to the
Installation Guide for information on installing language support.

LDAPCACHEDURATION
The LDAPCACHEDURATION option determines the amount of time that the IBM Tivoli
Storage Manager server caches LDAP password authentication information.
After a successful LDAP bind, the value that you enter determines the amount of
time that information about the LDAP directory server is kept available. The
higher the number, the better the performance of the LDAP directory server.
During the cache period, though, changes on the LDAP directory server do not
take immediate effect on the node. For example, old passwords might be available
for some time, even after they were changed or locked on the LDAP server.
Include the LDAPCACHEDURATION option in a SETOPT command to have the option

take effect immediately.
Restriction: The LDAPCACHEDURATION option does not apply to storage agents.
Syntax
LDAPCACHEDURATION minutes
Parameters
minutes
Specifies the maximum amount of time after a successful LDAP bind, that
subsequent sessions to the same node or administrator skip secondary LDAP
bind operations. Values range from zero to 360 minutes.
Example: Set the LDAPCACHEDURATION value to 6 hours

(maximum)
In the dsmserv.opt file, specify the following value:

ldapcacheduration 360
After a node or administrator authenticates with an external directory server, the

LDAP bind is skipped for 360 minutes on all sessions.
LDAPURL
The LDAPURL option specifies the location of your LDAP directory server. Set the
LDAPURL option after you configure the LDAP directory server.
Restrictions:
v The LDAPURL option cannot be used in combination with the SETOPT command.
v The LDAPURL option does not apply to storage agents.
Syntax
LDAPURL ldap_url_value
Parameters
ldap_url_value
Specifies the URL of one LDAP directory server, or the URLs of multiple LDAP
directory servers. You can enter multiple values, with each URL value up to
1024 characters. The port number is optional and defaults to 389. Each URL
value must contain the following parameters:
| v An LDAP directory server name. For example, the format of the server name
| is server1.storage.us.ibm.com and the LDAP port is 389.
| v The base distinguished name (Base DN) of the namespace or suffix that the
| LDAP directory server maintains. Ensure that the DN format conforms to
| the format that is used on the selected directory server. For example, the
| format of the Base DN is ou=tsm,dc=storage,dc=us,dc=ibm,dc=com.
The value of the LDAPURL option must conform to the following specifications:
v If you specify multiple URLs, each URL must be on a separate line.
v If you specify multiple URLs, each URL must point to a different external
directory, and all external directories must contain the same data.
v Each URL must begin with ldap://.
Restriction: The URL that you designate cannot begin with ldaps://.
Tivoli Storage Manager supports LDAP connections that are secured with
the standard LDAPv3 StartTLS operation that establishes a secure Transport
Layer Security (TLS) exchange on an existing LDAP connection. The LDAP
Simple Bind operation that Tivoli Storage Manager uses does not protect the
password when it is sent. A secure TLS connection is needed to protect the
password.
| Example: Set the LDAP port value for a directory server
| In the dsmserv.opt file, specify the following port value as 389, for LDAP directory
| servers, Windows Active Directory servers, and other directory servers:
| ldapurl ldap://server1.storage.us.ibm.com:389/ou=tsm,dc=storage,dc=us,dc=ibm,dc=com
| Tip: To use the default port, you do not have to specify it.

MAXSESSIONS
The MAXSESSIONS option specifies the maximum number of simultaneous client
sessions that can connect with the server.
Syntax
25
MAXSessions number_of_sessions
Parameters
number_of_sessions
Specifies the maximum number of simultaneous client sessions. The default
value is 25 client sessions. The minimum value is 2 client sessions. The
maximum value is limited only by available virtual storage size or
communication resources.
Examples
maxsessions 25
MESSAGEFORMAT
The MESSAGEFORMAT option specifies whether a message number is displayed
in all lines of a multi-line message.
Syntax
MESsageformat number
Parameters
number
Select a number to specify if a message number is to be displayed only on the
first line of a multi-line message or is to be displayed on all lines.
1 The message number for a message is displayed only in the first line of
the message. This is the default.
2 The message number for a message is displayed in all lines of a
message.
Examples
messageformat 2

MIRRORLOGDIRECTORY
The MIRRORLOGDIRECTORY option specifies the directory for mirroring the
active log path.
All changes made to the active log directory are also written to this mirror
directory. This option is appended to the options file when the DSMSERV
FORMAT command is run. Typically, the directory does not need to be changed.
Syntax
MIRRorlogdirectory dir_name
Parameters
dir_name
Specifies a fully qualified directory name for the active log mirror. The
maximum number of characters is 175.
Examples
mirrorlogdirectory /tsm/mirrorlog
MOVEBATCHSIZE
The MOVEBATCHSIZE option specifies the number of client files that are to be
moved and grouped together in a batch, within the same server transaction. This
data movement results from storage pool backups and restores, migration,
reclamation, and MOVE DATA operations. This option works with the
MOVESIZETHRESH option.
Syntax
1000
MOVEBatchsize number_of_files
Parameters
number_of_files
Specifies a number of files between 1 and 1000. The default is 1000.
Examples
movebatchsize 100

MOVESIZETHRESH
The MOVESIZETHRESH option specifies, in megabytes, a threshold for the
amount of data moved as a batch, within the same server transaction. When this
threshold is reached, no more files are added to the current batch, and a new
transaction is started after the current batch is moved.
Syntax
4096
MOVESizethresh megabytes
Parameters
megabytes
Specifies the number of megabytes as an integer from 1 to 32768. The default
value is 4096. This option is used with the MOVEBATCHSIZE option.
Examples
movesizethresh 500
MSGINTERVAL
The MSGINTERVAL option specifies the time, in minutes, between messages
prompting an operator to mount a tape for the server.
Syntax
1
MSGINTerval minutes
Parameters
minutes
Specifies the time interval at which the operator is prompted by the server to
mount a tape. The default value is 1 minute. The minimum value is 1 minute.
Examples
msginterval 2

| NDMPCONNECTIONTIMEOUT
| The NDMPCONNECTIONTIMEOUT server option specifies the time in hours that Tivoli
| Storage Manager server waits to receive status updates during NDMP restore
| operations across the LAN. NDMP restore operations of large NAS file systems can
| have long periods of inactivity. The default is 6 hours.
| Syntax
| 6
NDMPCONNECTIONTIMEOUT hours
|
| Parameters
| hours
| The number of hours that the Tivoli Storage Manager server waits to receive
| status updates during an NDMP restore operation over the LAN. The default
| value is 6. The minimum is 1 hour. The maximum is 48 hours.
| Example
| Specify a timeout of 10 hours before the NDMP connection times out:

| ndmpconnectiontimeout 10
NDMPCONTROLPORT
The NDMPCONTROLPORT option specifies the port number to be used for
internal communications for certain Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP)
operations. The Tivoli Storage Manager server does not function as a general
purpose NDMP tape server.
Syntax
10000
NDMPControlport port_number
Parameters
port_number
The port number to be used for internal communications for certain NDMP
operations. The port number must be from 1024 to 32767. The default is 10000.
Examples
ndmpcontrolport 9999

NDMPENABLEKEEPALIVE
The NDMPENABLEKEEPALIVE server option specifies whether the Tivoli Storage
Manager server enables Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) keepalive on network
data-management protocol (NDMP) control connections to network-attached
storage (NAS) devices. The default is NO.
TCP keepalive is implemented within the network support of an operating system.

TCP keepalive prevents a long-running, inactive connection from being closed by
firewall software that detects and closes inactive connections.
Restriction: To prevent errors, do not enable TCP keepalive in certain types of

environments. One example is environments that do not have firewalls between
the Tivoli Storage Manager server and a NAS device. Another example is
environments with firewalls that tolerate long-running, inactive connections.
Enabling TCP keepalive in this type of environment can cause an idle connection
to be inadvertently closed if the connection partner temporarily fails to respond to
TCP keepalive packets.
Syntax
NDMPENABLEKEEPALIVES NO
YES
Parameters
NO Disable TCP keepalive on all NDMP control connections. NO is the default.
YES
Enable TCP keepalive on all NDMP control connections. The default idle time
before the first TCP keepalive packet is sent is 120 minutes.
To change the idle time, issue the following operating system command:
ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_keepalive_interval milliseconds
For example, to specify an idle time of fifteen minutes (900,000 milliseconds) before
the first TCP keepalive packet is transmitted, issue the following command:
ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_keepalive_interval 900000
Example
Enable TCP keepalive on all NDMP control connections so that inactive NDMP
connections are not closed:
ndmpenablekeepalive yes
NDMPPORTRANGE
The NDMPPORTRANGE option specifies the range of port numbers through
which Tivoli Storage Manager cycles to obtain a port number for accepting a
session from a network-attached storage (NAS) device for data transfer. The
default is 0,0 which means that Tivoli Storage Manager lets the operating system
provide a port (ephemeral port).
If all ports specified are in use when a NAS device attempts to connect to the
server, the operation fails. If a single port number is chosen (no comma and no
port number for the high value), the default for the high port number is the low
port number plus 100.
When Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) data is directed to a Tivoli

Storage Manager native pool, communication can be initiated from either the
NDMP systems or the Tivoli Storage Manager server. If a firewall separates the
server and NAS devices, it may be necessary to specify port numbers in firewall
rules to allow traffic to pass to and from the NAS devices. NAS devices
communicate to the Tivoli Storage Manager server the port numbers that they will
use when contacting the server. The port numbers of the server are controlled with
the NDMPPortrange options. Port number control for NAS devices is specific to
vendors. Consult your vendor documentation.
Syntax
NDMPPortrange port_number_low
,port_number_high
Parameters
port_number_low
The low port number from which Tivoli Storage Manager starts to cycle when
needing a port number for accepting session from a NAS device for data
transfer. The minimum port number value is 1024.
port_number_high
The high port number to which Tivoli Storage Manager can cycle when
needing a port number for accepting session from a NAS device for data
transfer. The maximum port number value is 32767. The high port number
must be the same or larger than the low port number.
Examples
Specify that Tivoli Storage Manager can cycle from port numbers 1024 - 2024.
ndmpportrange 1024,2024

NDMPPREFDATAINTERFACE
This option specifies the IP address that is associated with the interface in which
you want the server to receive all Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP)
backup data.
This option affects all subsequent NDMP filer-to-server operations, but does not
affect NDMP control connections, which use the system's default network interface.
The value for this option is a host name or IPV4 address that is associated with
one of the active network interfaces of the system on which the Tivoli Storage
Manager server is running. This interface must be IPV4 enabled.
using the SETOPT command. For more information, see the Administrator's Guide.
Syntax
NDMPPREFDATAINTERFACE ip_address
Parameters
ip_address
Specify an address in either dotted decimal or host name format. If you specify
a dotted decimal address, it is not verified with a domain name server. If the
address is not correct, it can cause failures when the server attempts to open a
socket at the start of an NDMP filer-to-server backup.
Host name format addresses are verified with a domain name server. There is
no default value. If a value is not set, all NDMP operations use the Tivoli
Storage Manager server's network interface for receiving backup data during
NDMP filer-to-server backup operations. To clear the option value, specify the
SETOPT command with a null value, "".
Examples:
ndmpprefdatainterface net1.tucson.ibm.com
ndmpprefdatainterface 9.11.152.89
NOPREEMPT
The server allows certain operations to preempt other operations for access to
volumes and devices. You can specify the NOPREEMPT option to disable
preemption. When preemption is disabled, no operation can preempt another for
access to a volume, and only a database backup operation can preempt another
operation for access to a device.
For example, a client data restore operation preempts a client data backup for use
of a specific device or access to a specific volume.
See the Administrator's Guide for details.
Syntax
NOPREEMPT
Parameters
None
Examples
Disable preemption among server operations:

nopreempt

NORETRIEVEDATE
The NORETRIEVEDATE option specifies that the server does not update the
retrieve date of a file in a disk storage pool when a client restores or retrieves the
file. This option and the MIGDELAY storage pool parameter control when the
server migrates files.
If you do not specify NORETRIEVEDATE, the server migrates files after they have
been in the storage pool for the number of days specified by the MIGDELAY
parameter. The number of days is counted from the day that the file was stored in
the storage pool or retrieved by a client, whichever is more recent. If you specify
NORETRIEVEDATE, the server does not update the retrieve date of a file, and the
number of days is counted from the day the file entered the disk storage pool.
If you specify this option and caching is enabled for a disk storage pool,
reclamation of cached space is affected. When space is needed in a disk storage
pool that contains cached files, the server gets the space by selectively erasing
cached copies. Files that have the oldest retrieve dates and occupy the largest
amount of space are selected for removal. When you specify NORETRIEVEDATE,
the server does not update the retrieve date when a file is retrieved. This may
cause cached copies to be removed even though they have recently been retrieved
by a client.
Syntax
NORETRIEVEDATE
Parameters
None.
Examples
Specify that the retrieve dates of files in disk storage pools are not updated when
clients restore and retrieve the files:
noretrievedate
NUMOPENVOLSALLOWED
The NUMOPENVOLSALLOWED option specifies the number of input FILE
volumes in a deduplicated storage pool that can be open at one time.
Input volumes contain data to be read during client-restore operations and server
processes, such as reclamation and migration. Use this option to improve
performance by reducing the frequency with which volumes are opened and
closed.
Each session within a client operation or server process can have as many open
FILE volumes as specified by this option. A session is initiated by a client
operation or by a server process. Multiple sessions can be started within each.
During a client restore operation, volumes can remain open for the duration of a
client restore operation and as long a client session is active. During a no-query
restore operation, the volumes remain open until the no-query restore completes.
At that time, all volumes are closed and released. However, for a classic restore
operation started in interactive mode, the volumes might remain open at the end
of the restore operation. The volumes are closed and released when the next classic
restore operation is requested.
Set this value in the server options file or use the SETOPT command.
Tip: This option can significantly increase the number of volumes and mount
points in use at any one time. To optimize performance, follow these steps:
v To set NUMOPENVOLSALLOWED, select a beginning value (the default is
recommended). Monitor client sessions and server processes. Note the highest
number of volumes open for a single session or process. Increase the setting of
NUMOPENVOLSALLOWED if the highest number of open volumes is equal to
the value specified by NUMOPENVOLSALLOWED.
v To prevent sessions or processes from having to wait for a mount point, increase
the value of the MOUNTLIMIT parameter in the device-class definition. Set the
value of the MOUNTLIMIT parameter high enough to allow all client sessions
and server processes using deduplicated storage pools to open the number of
volume specified by the NUMOPENVOLSALLOWED option. For client sessions,
check the destination in the copy group definition to determine how many
nodes are storing data in the deduplicated storage pool. For server processes,
check the number of processes allowed for each process for the storage pool.
v A situation might occur in which a node backs up and restores or archives and
retrieves concurrently to and from a deduplicated storage pool. All the mount
points required for these operations increase the total number of mount points
required by the node.
As a result, the node might not be able to start additional backup sessions if it
already has more mount points open than what the MAXNUMMP parameter in
the client-node definition allows. This can occur even though the MOUNTLIMIT
for the device class was not exceeded.
To prevent backup and retrieve operations from failing, set the value of the
MAXNUMMP parameter in the client-node definition to a value at least as high
as the NUMOPENVOLSALLOWED option. Increase this value if you notice that
the node is failing backup or retrieve operations because the MAXNUMMP
value is being exceeded.

Syntax
NUMOPENVOLSallowed number_of_open_volumes
Parameters
number_of_open_volumes
Specifies the number of input FILE volumes in a deduplicated storage pool
that can be open at one time. The default is 10. The minimum value is 3. The
maximum value is 999.
Examples
Specify that up to 5 volumes in a deduplicated storage pool can be open at one

time.
numopenvolsallowed 5
QUERYAUTH
The QUERYAUTH option specifies the administrative authority level required to
issue QUERY or SQL SELECT commands. By default any administrator can issue
QUERY and SELECT commands. You can use this option to restrict the use of
these commands.
Syntax
QUERYAuth NOne
SYstem
POlicy
STorage
OPerator
Parameters
NOne
Any administrator can issue QUERY or SELECT commands without requiring
any administrative authority.
SYstem
Administrators must have SYSTEM authority to issue QUERY or SELECT
commands.
POlicy
Administrators must have POLICY authority over one or more policy domains
or SYSTEM authority to issue QUERY or SELECT commands.
STorage
Administrators must have STORAGE authority over one or more storage pools
or SYSTEM authority to issue QUERY or SELECT commands.
OPerator
Administrators must have OPERATOR or SYSTEM authority to issue QUERY
or SELECT commands.
Examples
To restrict the use of QUERY and SELECT commands to administrators with

system or storage authority, enter:
queryauth storage

RECLAIMDELAY
This option delays the reclamation of a SnapLock volume, allowing remaining data
to expire so that there is no need to reclaim the volume.
Syntax
4
RECLAIMDELAY number_of_days
Parameters
number_of_days
Specifies the number of days to delay the reclamation of a SnapLock volume.
Before a SnapLock volume is reclaimed, the Tivoli Storage Manager server
allows the specified number of days to pass, so that any files remaining on the
volume have a chance to expire. The default reclaim delay period is 4 days and
can be set anywhere from 1 to 120 days.
Examples
Specify that the number of days to delay reclamation is 30 days:

reclaimdelay 30
RECLAIMPERIOD
This option allows you to set the number of days for the reclamation period of a
SnapLock volume.
Syntax
30
RECLAIMPERIOD number_of_days
Parameters
number_of_days
Specifies the number of days that are allowed for the reclamation period of a
SnapLock volume.
After the retention of a SnapLock volume has expired, the Tivoli Storage
Manager server will reclaim the volume within the specified number of days if
there is still data remaining on the volume. The default reclaim period is 30
days and can be set anywhere from 7 to 365 days.
The reclamation period does not begin until the RECLAIMDELAY period has
expired.
Examples
Specify that the reclaim period is 45 days:

reclaimperiod 45

REORGBEGINTIME
The REORGBEGINTIME option specifies the earliest time that the Tivoli Storage
Manager server can start a table or index reorganization.
Schedule server-initiated reorganizations to start during periods when server

activity is low. Use this option together with the REORGDURATION option. The
REORGDURATION specifies an interval during which reorganization can start.
Syntax
REORGBEGINTime hh:mm
Parameters
hh:mm
Specifies the time that the server can start a reorganization: The default start
time 6:00 a.m. Use a 24-hour format to specify the time.
Time Description Values

hh The hour of the day Specify a number 00 - 23.
mm The minute of the hour Specify a number 00 - 59.
Examples
Specify 6:00 a.m. as the earliest time that a reorganization can start.
reorgbegintime 06:00
Specify 8:30 p.m. as the earliest time that a reorganization can start.
Specify noon as the earliest time that a reorganization can start.

Specify 3:30 p.m. as the earliest time that a reorganization can start.
Specify midnight as the earliest time that a reorganization can start.

REORGDURATION
The REORGDURATION option specifies an interval during which server-initiated table
or index reorganization can start.
Schedule server-initiated reorganizations to start during periods when server

activity is low. Use this option together with the REORGBEGINTIME option. The
REORGBEGINTIME option specifies the earliest time that the server can start a
reorganization.
Syntax
REORGDURation nn
Parameters
nn Specifies the number of hours during which a reorganization can start. The
minimum value is 1, the maximum value is 24. The default value is 24.
Example
Specify an interval of four hours during which a reorganization can start.

reorgduration 4

REPORTRETRIEVE
The REPORTRETRIEVE option reports on restore or retrieve operations that are
performed by client nodes or administrators. The default is NO.
Syntax
REPORTRETRIEVE YES
NO
Parameters
YES
Specifies that messages will be issued to the server console and stored in the
activity log whenever files are restored or retrieved from the Tivoli Storage
Manager server. The messages will specify the name of the objects being
restored or retrieved and identify the client node or administrator performing
the operation.
NO Specifies that messages will not be issued.
Examples
Specify that messages will be issued and stored in the activity log whenever files
are restored or retrieved from the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server:
reportretrieve yes
The following message is issued for an administrator client session:

ANR0411I Session 8 for administrator COLIND-TUC logged in as node
COLIND-TUC restored or retrieved Backup object: node COLIND-TUC,
filespace \\colind-tuc\c$, object\CODE\TESTDATA\ XXX.OUT
REPLBATCHSIZE
The REPLBATCHSIZE option specifies the number of client files that are to be
replicated in a batch, within the same server transaction. This option affects only
the node replication processes and works with the REPLSIZETHRESH option to
improve node replication processing.
The REPLBATCHSIZE option limits the number of files in a transaction and the
REPLSIZETHRESH option limits the number of bytes in a transaction. The
transaction ends when either the REPLBATCHSIZE threshold or the
REPLSIZETHRESH threshold is reached.
Syntax
4096
REPLBatchsize number_of_files
Parameters
number_of_files
Specifies a number of files between 1 - 32768. The default is 4096.
Examples
replbatchsize 25000

REPLSIZETHRESH
The REPLSIZETHRESH option specifies, in megabytes, a threshold for the amount
of data replicated, within the same server transaction.
The amount of data is based on the non-deduplicated size of the file, which is the
original size of the file. The amount of data that is replicated is controlled by the
threshold. When the amount of data exceeds the threshold, the server ends the
transaction and no more files are added to the current batch. A new transaction is
started after the current batch is replicated. This option is used with the
REPLBATCHSIZE option.
For example, suppose that a file is 10 MB and is stored in a data-deduplication-

enabled storage pool and only 2 MB of the file is transferred during replication.
The amount of data replicated includes the 10 MB size of the file, and excludes the
2 MB transferred. When the amount of data replicated exceeds the value specified
for the REPLSIZETHRESH threshold, the transaction ends.
Syntax
4096
REPLSizethresh megabytes
Parameters
megabytes
Specifies the number of megabytes as an integer from 1 - 32768. The default
value is 4096.
Examples
replsizethresh 2000
REQSYSAUTHOUTFILE
The REQSYSAUTHOUTFILE option specifies if system authority is required for
administrative commands that cause Tivoli Storage Manager to write to an external
file.
This option applies to the following commands:

v BACKUP DEVCONFIG with the FILENAMES parameter
v BACKUP VOLHISTORY with the FILENAMES parameter
v DEFINE BACKUPSET
v DELETE BACKUPSET
v MOVE DRMEDIA with the CMD parameter
v MOVE MEDIA with the CMD parameter
v QUERY DRMEDIA with the CMD parameter
v QUERY MEDIA with the CMD parameter
v QUERY SCRIPT with the OUTPUTFILE parameter
Syntax
REQSYSauthoutfile Yes
No
Parameters
Yes
System authority is required for administrative commands that cause Tivoli
Storage Manager to write to an external file.
No System authority is not required for administrative commands that cause Tivoli
Storage Manager to write to an external file. That is, there is no change to the
authority level that is required to issue the command.
Examples
reqsysauthoutfile no

RESOURCETIMEOUT
The RESOURCETIMEOUT option specifies how long the server waits for a
resource before canceling the pending acquisition of a resource. When a timeout
occurs the request for the resource will be canceled.
Note: When managing a set of shared library resources, such as servers designated
as library managers and clients, consider setting this option at the same time limit
for all participants in the shared configuration. In any case of error recovery, Tivoli
Storage Manager will always defer to the longest time limit.
Syntax
60
RESOURCETimeout minutes
Parameters
minutes
Specifies the maximum number of minutes that the server waits for a resource.
The default value is 60 minutes. The minimum value is 1 minute.
Examples
Specify that the server will wait 15 minutes for a server resource:
resourcetimeout 15
RESTOREINTERVAL
The RESTOREINTERVAL option specifies how long a restartable restore session
can be saved in the server database. As long as the restore session is saved in the
database, it can be restarted from the point at which it stopped.
Syntax
1440
RESTOREINTERVAL minutes
Parameters
minutes
Specifies how long, in minutes, that a restartable restore session can be in the
database before it can be expired. The minimum value is 0. The maximum is
10080 (one week). The default is 1440 minutes (24 hours). If the value is set to
0 and the restore is interrupted or fails, the restore is still put in the restartable
state. However, it is immediately eligible to be expired.
Examples
restoreinterval 1440

RETENTIONEXTENSION
The RETENTIONEXTENSION option specifies the number of days to extend the
retention date of a SnapLock volume. This option allows the server to extend the
retention date of a SnapLock volume in order to avoid excessive reclamation.
Syntax
RETENTIONEXTENSION number_of_days
Parameters
number_of_days
Specifies the number of days to extend the retention date of a SnapLock
volume. The minimum value is 30 days; the maximum value is 9999 days; the
default is 365.
If you specify a value of 0 (zero) for the RETVER parameter of an archive copy
group, the actual value that is used for RETVER is the value of the option
RETENTIONEXTENSION, if one of the following conditions is also true:
v The destination storage pool for the archive copy group is a SnapLock
storage pool.
v The storage pool that is the target for a storage pool migration or of a MOVE
DATA or MOVE NODEDATA command is a SnapLock storage pool.
If a SnapLock volume is the target volume for data from another SnapLock
volume and if the remaining retention of the data on the volume is less than
the value specified, then the retention date is set using the value specified.
Otherwise, the remaining retention of the data is used to set the retention of
the volume.
If a SnapLock volume has entered the reclamation period but the percentage of
reclaimable space of the volume has not exceeded the reclamation threshold of
the storage pool or the value specified on the THRESHOLD parameter of a
RECLAIM STGPOOL command, then the retention date of the SnapLock volume is
extended by the amount specified in the RETENTIONEXTENSION option.
Examples
Specify that the retention date is extended by 60 days:

retentionextension 60
SANDISCOVERY
The SANDISCOVERY option specifies whether the Tivoli Storage Manager SAN
discovery function is enabled.
To use SAN discovery, all devices on the SAN must have a unique device serial
number. When set to ON, the server completes SAN discovery in the following
instances:
v When the device path is changed
v When the QUERY SAN command is issued
Using SAN discovery, the server can automatically correct the special file name for
a device if it is changed for a specified tape device.
The Tivoli Storage Manager server does not require persistent binding with the
SAN discovery function enabled. To display a list of devices that are seen by the
server, you can issue the QUERY SAN command.
Syntax
SANDISCOVERY = OFF

SANDISCOVERY = ON
UNSCANNEDPATHOFF
Parameters
ON Specifies that the server completes SAN discovery when the device path is
changed, or when the QUERY SAN command is issued.
OFF
Specifies that the server does not complete SAN discovery when the device
path is changed, or when the QUERY SAN command is issued. If the Tivoli
Storage Manager server is not able to open a device, a message is issued but
the path that is associated with the device is not taken offline. This value is the
default.
UNSCANNEDPATHOFF
Specifies that the server does not complete SAN discovery when the device
path is changed, or when the QUERY SAN command is issued. If the Tivoli
Storage Manager server is not able to open a device, a message is issued and
the path to the device is taken offline.
Examples
sandiscovery on
Related commands
Table 463. Commands related to SANDISCOVERY
Command Description

SANDISCOVERYTIMEOUT
The SANDISCOVERYTIMEOUT option specifies the amount of time allowed for
host bus adapters to respond when they are queried by the SAN discovery process.
Once the time specified for the SANDISCOVERYTIMEOUT is reached, the process
times out.
Syntax
SANDISCOVERYTIMEOUT value
Parameters
value
Specifies the amount of time to elapse before the SAN discovery process times
out. The range is from 15 to 1800 seconds. The default is 15 seconds.
Examples
sandiscoverytimeout 45
SANREFRESHTIME
The SANREFRESHTIME option specifies the amount of time that elapses before
the cached SAN discovery information is refreshed. The SANREFRESHTIME
option has a default value of 0, which means that there is no SAN discovery cache.
The information is obtained directly from the host bus adapter (HBA) every time
the server performs a SAN discovery operation.
Note: The QUERY SAN server command always receives SAN information at the
time that the command is issued and ignores any value specified for
SANREFRESHTIME.
Syntax
0
SANREFRESHTIME time
Parameters
time
The length of time, in seconds, before the cached SAN discovery information is
refreshed. The default value is 0 and specifies that SAN discovery information
is not cached. If a value other than 0 is specified, for example, 100 seconds,
then the SAN discovery information is refreshed 100 seconds after the prior
SAN discovery operation.
Examples
Refresh SAN discovery information after 100 seconds.

sanrefreshtime 100
Turn off the caching of SAN discovery information.

sanrefreshtime 0

SEARCHMPQUEUE
The SEARCHMPQUEUE option specifies the order in which the server satisfies
requests in the mount queue. If the option is specified, the server first tries to
satisfy requests for volumes that are already mounted. These requests may be
satisfied before other requests, even if the others have been waiting longer for the
mount point. If this option is not specified, the server satisfies requests in the order
in which they are received.
Syntax
SEARCHMPQUEUE
Parameters
None
Examples
Specify that the server tries to first satisfy a request for a volume that is already
mounted:
searchmpqueue
SERVERDEDUPTXNLIMIT
The SERVERDEDUPTXNLIMIT option specifies the maximum size of objects that can be
deduplicated on the server.
When you use duplicate-identification processes (the IDENTIFY DUPLICATES

command) for large objects, intensive database activity can result from
long-running transactions that are required to update the database. High levels of
database activity can produce following symptoms:
v Reduced throughput for client backup and archive operations
v Resource contention resulting from concurrent server operations
v Excessive recovery log activity
The extent to which these symptoms occur depends on the number and size of
objects being processed, the intensity and type of concurrent operations taking
place on the Tivoli Storage Manager server, and the Tivoli Storage Manager server
configuration.
With the SERVERDEDUPTXNLIMIT server option, you can specify a maximum size, in
gigabytes, for objects that can be deduplicated on the server. If an object or set of
objects in a single transaction exceeds the limit specified by SERVERDEDUPTXNLIMIT,
the objects are not deduplicated by the server. You can specify a value 32 - 2048
GB. The default value is 300 GB.
Increasing the value of this option causes the Tivoli Storage Manager server to
search for objects previously deferred whose size falls below the new transaction
limit.
Remember: The search for objects previously deferred can take time. Use care
when increasing the value of SERVERDEDUPTXNLIMIT. Reducing the value of this
option does not cause Tivoli Storage Manager to search for deferred objects.
The appropriate value for this option depends on the Tivoli Storage Manager
server configuration and concurrent server activity. You can specify a high value
for this option if you minimize resource contention. To minimize resource
contention, perform operations, such as backup, archive, duplicate identification,
and reclamation, at different times.
To update this server option without stopping and restarting the server, use the
SETOPT command.
Syntax
300
SERVERDEDUPTXNlimit gigabytes
Parameters
gigabytes
Specifies the maximum size, in gigabytes, of objects that can be duplicated on
the server. You can specify a value 32 - 2048. The default value is 300.

Examples
Disable server-side deduplication for all objects over 120 GB:

serverdeduptxnlimit 120
SHMPORT
The SHMPORT option specifies the TCP/IP port address of a server when using
shared memory. All shared memory communications start with a TCP/IP
connection.
Syntax
SHMPort port_number
Parameters
port_number
Specifies the port number. You can specify a value from 1024 to 32767. The
Examples
shmport 1580

SHREDDING
The SHREDDING option specifies whether shredding of deleted sensitive data is
performed automatically or manually. Shredding applies only to data in storage
pools that have been explicitly configured to support shredding.
Syntax
SHREDding AUTOmatic
MANual
Parameters
AUTOmatic
Specifies that shredding occurs automatically as sensitive data is deleted. Use
this option to shred sensitive data as soon as possible after it is deleted. If the
SHREDDING option is not specified, this is the default behavior. If there is an
I/O error during automatic shredding, an error is reported, and shredding of
the current object halts. If the I/O error cannot be corrected, you might need to
run shredding manually and use the IOERROR keyword.
MANual
Specifies that shredding occurs manually, only when the SHRED DATA
command is invoked. Use this option to control when shredding takes place, in
order to ensure that it does not interfere with other server activities.
Tip: If you specify manual shredding, run the SHRED DATA command
regularly, at least as often as you perform other routine server-maintenance
tasks (for example, expiration, reclamation, and so on). Doing so can prevent
performance degradation of certain server processes (in particular, migration).
For best results, run SHRED DATA after any operation (for example, expiration
and migration) that deletes files from a shred pool.
Examples
Specify that Tivoli Storage Manager automatically shreds data in a storage pool
configured for shredding after that data is deleted:
shredding automatic
SNMPHEARTBEATINTERVAL
The SNMPHEARTBEATINTERVAL option specifies the interval in minutes
between queries of the Tivoli Storage Manager server.
Syntax
5
SNMPHEARTBEATINTERVAL minutes
Parameters
minutes
Specifies the heartbeat interval in minutes. Valid values are from 0 to 1440 (one
day). The default is 5 minutes.
Examples
snmpheartbeatinterval 20

SNMPMESSAGECATEGORY
The SNMPMESSAGECATEGORY option specifies the trap types used when
messages are forwarded from the server, through the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) subagent, to the SNMP manager.
Syntax
SNMPMESSAGECATEGORY SEVERITY
INDIVIDUAL
Parameters
SEVERITY
Specifies that there are four trap types based on message severity level:
1 Severe
2 Error
3 Warning
4 Information
This is the default.

INDIVIDUAL
Specifies that a separate trap type is used for each message. The numeric part
of the message identifier indicates the trap type.
Examples
snmpmessagecategory individual
SNMPSUBAGENT
The SNMPSUBAGENT option specifies the parameters needed for the Tivoli
Storage Manager subagent to communicate with the Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) daemon. This option is only to configure the SNMP subagent for
communicating with the SNMP agent; it is ignored by the server.
Syntax
SNMPSUBAGENT
HOSTname host_name COMMunityname community_name

SNMPSUBAGENTHOST
The SNMPSUBAGENTHOST option specifies the location of the Tivoli Storage
Manager Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) subagent. The default for
this option is 127.0.0.1.
Syntax
SNMPSUBAGENTHOST host_name
Parameters
host_name
Specifies the TCP/IP host name or number on which the Tivoli Storage
Manager SNMP subagent is located. The subagent and server must be on the
same node.
Examples
snmpsubagenthost 9.116.23.450
SNMPSUBAGENTPORT
The SNMPSUBAGENTPORT option specifies the port number of the Tivoli Storage
Manager Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) subagent.
Syntax

| SSLDISABLELEGACYTLS
| The SSLDISABLELEGACYTLS option specifies whether to use protocols earlier than
| Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) sessions between
| the server and the backup-archive client or storage agent.
| To prevent the use of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols earlier than TLS 1.2, use
| the SSLDISABLELEGACYTLS option.
| Syntax
| SSLDISABLELEGACYTLS No

SSLDISABLELEGACYTLS No
Yes
|
| Parameters
| Yes
| Specifies that the server uses the TLS 1.2 or later protocol for SSL sessions.
| The SSLDISABLELEGACYTLS option overrides the SSLTLS12=NO option and
| enforces the rejection of SSL connection attempts that use levels earlier than
| TLS 1.2.
| Requirements: Before you use TLS 1.2, ensure that the following settings are
| correct:
| v For the server and storage agent, if you use self-signed certificates, you must
| set the default label in the key database to “TSM Server SelfSigned SHA
| Key”.
| v For backup-archive clients, if you use self-signed certificates, you must
| import the cert256.arm file.
| No Specifies that the server rejects the TLS 1.1 and earlier protocol for SSL
| sessions. The default is No.
| If you specify the SSLTLS12=YES option and do not specify the
| SSLDISABLELEGACYTLS option, TLS 1.2 is used.
| Examples
| Specify that the server uses the TLS 1.2 or later protocol for SSL sessions:
| ssldisablelegacytls yes
| Specify that the server rejects the TLS 1.1 and earlier protocol for SSL sessions:
| ssldisablelegacytls no
SSLFIPSMODE
The SSLFIPSMODE option specifies whether the Federal Information Processing
Standards (FIPS) mode is in effect for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The default is
NO.
Because SSLv3 is not supported by FIPS mode, when you are using SSL with
Version 6.1 or V5.5 clients, you must turn off FIPS mode.
Syntax
SSLFIPSMODE = No

SSLFIPSMODE = No
Yes
Parameters
No Specifies that SSL FIPS mode is not active on the server. This setting is
required when Backup-Archive Client versions previous to IBM Tivoli Storage
Manager 6.3 are to connect to the server with SSL.
Yes
A value of YES indicates that SSL FIPS mode is active on the server. This
setting restricts SSL session negotiation to use FIPS-approved cipher suites.
Specifying YES is suggested when SSL communication is activated and all
Backup-Archive Clients are at V6.3 or later.
Remember: Set server option SSLTLS12 to NO if your environment includes

Backup-Archive Clients that use server self-signed certificates that were generated
by a server whose version was before V6.3.
To disable SSL FIPS mode on the server:

SSLFIPSMODE no

SSLTCPADMINPORT
The SSLTCPADMINPORT option specifies the port address on which the server TCP/IP
communication driver waits for requests for SSL-enabled sessions. The sessions are
for the command-line administrative client.
First-time use of the SSLTCPADMINPORT or SSLTCPPORT option triggers the creation of

a key database file (cert.kdb) at server startup. The key database file is created in
the server instance directory and is initialized with a self-signed certificate.
The following types of sessions do not use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer):
v NDMP (Network Data Management Protocol)
v ACSLS (Automated Cartridge System Library Software)
v SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) subagent
v Database restore operations
If the ADMINONCLIENTPORT option is set to NO, SSL-enabled sessions for the

administrative client require SSLTCPADMINPORT with a port number other than one
specified by the SSLTCPPORT option. The SSLTCPADMINPORT option does not affect the
TCPPORT or TCPADMINPORT options and their interaction with the ADMINONCLIENTPORT
option.
The TCP/IP communications driver must be enabled with COMMMETHOD

TCPIP or COMMMETHOD V6TCPIP.
Syntax
SSLTCPADMINPort port_number
Parameters
port_number
Specifies the port number of the server. Valid values are 1024 - 32767. There is
no default.
Examples
ssltcpadminport 1543
SSLTCPPORT
The SSLTCPPORT option specifies the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) port number. The
server TCP/IP communication driver waits for requests on this port for
SSL-enabled sessions from the client.
First-time use of the SSLTCPADMINPORT or SSLTCPPORT options triggers the creation of

a key database file (cert.kdb) at server startup. The key database file is created in
the server instance directory and is initialized with a self-signed certificate.
The following types of sessions do not use SSL:

v NDMP (Network Data Management Protocol)
v ACSLS (Automated Cartridge System Library Software)
v SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) subagent
v Database restore operations
If the ADMINONCLIENTPORT option is set to NO, SSL-enabled sessions for the

administrative client require SSLTCPADMINPORT with a port number different from
one specified by the SSLTCPPORT option. The SSLTCPPORT option does not affect the
TCPPORT or TCPADMINPORT options and their interaction with the ADMINONCLIENTPORT
option.
The TCP/IP communications driver must be enabled with COMMMETHOD

TCPIP or COMMMETHOD V6TCPIP.
Syntax
SSLTCPPort port_number
Parameters
port_number
Specifies the port number of the server. Valid values are 1024 - 32767. There is
no default.
Examples
ssltcpport 1542

SSLTLS12
The SSLTLS12 option specifies whether to use the Transport Layer Security (TLS)
1.2 or later protocol for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) sessions.
Syntax
SSLTLS12 No
Yes
Parameters
Yes
| Specifies that the server uses the TLS 1.2 or later protocol for SSL sessions for
| backup-archive clients. If you specify the SSLTLS12=YES option and do not
| specify the SSLDISABLELEGACYTLS option, TLS 1.2 is used.
No Specifies that the server uses TLS 1.1 for SSL sessions. No is the default.
| The SSLDISABLELEGACYTLS option overrides the SSLTLS12=NO option and
| enforces the rejection of SSL connection attempts that use levels earlier than
| TLS 1.2.
Example
Set TLS 1.2 as the protocol for SSL sessions:

SSLTLS12 yes
TCPADMINPORT
The TCPADMINPORT option specifies the port number on which the server TCP/IP
communication driver is to wait for requests for sessions other than client sessions.
This includes administrative sessions, server-to-server sessions, Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) subagent sessions, storage agent sessions, library
client sessions, managed server sessions, and event server sessions.
Using different port numbers for the options TCPPORT and TCPADMINPORT enables
you to create one set of firewall rules for client sessions and another set for the
other session types listed above. By using the SESSIONINITIATION parameter of
REGISTER and UPDATE NODE, you can close the port specified by TCPPORT at the
firewall, and specify nodes whose scheduled sessions will be started from the
server. If the two port numbers are different, separate threads will be used to
service client sessions and the session types. If you allow the two options to use
the same port number (by default or by explicitly setting them to the same port
number), a single server thread will be used to service all session requests.
Client sessions attempting to use the port specified by TCPADMINPORT will be

terminated (if TCPPORT and TCPADMINPORT specify different ports). Administrative
sessions are allowed on either port, (unless the ADMINONCLIENTPORT option is set to
NO) but by default will use the port specified by TCPADMINPORT.
Syntax
TCPADMINPort port_number
Parameters
port_number
Specifies the port number of the server. Valid values are 1024 - 32767. The
default is the value of TCPPORT.
Examples
tcpadminport 1502

TCPNODELAY
The TCPNODELAY option specifies whether the server disables the delay of
sending successive small packets on the network.
Change the value from the default of YES only under one of these conditions:
v You are directed to change the option by your service representative.
v You fully understand the effects of the TCP Nagle algorithm on network
transmissions. Setting the option to NO enables the Nagle algorithm, which
delays sending small successive packets.
Syntax
TCPNodelay Yes
No
Parameters
Yes
Specifies that the server allows successive small packets to be sent immediately
over the network. Setting this option to YES might improve performance in
some high-speed networks. The default is YES.
No Specifies that the server does not allow successive small packets to be sent
immediately over the network.
Examples
tcpnodelay no
TCPPORT
The TCPPORT option specifies the port number on which the server TCP/IP
communication driver is to wait for requests for client sessions.
Using different port numbers for the options TCPPORT and TCPADMINPORT enables
you to create one set of firewall rules for client sessions and another set for other
session types (administrative sessions, server-to-server sessions, Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) subagent sessions, storage agent sessions, library
client sessions, managed server sessions, and event server sessions). If the two port
numbers are different, separate threads will be used to service client sessions and
the other session types. If you allow the two options to use the same port number
(by default or by explicitly setting them to the same port number), a single server
thread will be used to service all session requests.
Syntax
TCPPort port_number
Parameters
port_number
Specifies the port number of the server. Valid values are 1024 - 32767. The
tcpport 1500

TCPWINDOWSIZE
The TCPWINDOWSIZE option specifies, in kilobytes, the amount of receive data
that can be buffered at one time on a TCP/IP connection. The sending host cannot
send more data until it receives an acknowledgment and a TCP receive window
update. Each TCP packet contains the advertised TCP receive window on the
connection. A larger window lets the sender continue sending data, and may
improve communication performance, especially on fast networks with high
latency.
Note:
v To improve backup performance, increase the TCPWINDOWSIZE on the server.
To improve restore performance, increase the TCPWINDOWSIZE on the client.
v The TCP window acts as a buffer on the network.
v A window size larger than the buffer space on the network adapter might
degrade throughput due to resending packets that were lost on the adapter.
Syntax
TCPWindowsize kilobytes
Parameters
kilobytes
Specifies the size you want to use, in kilobytes, for the TCP/IP sliding window
for your client node. You can specify a value from 0 to 2048. The default is 63.
If you specify 0, the server uses the default window size set by the operating
system. Values from 1 to 2048 indicate that the window size is in the range of
1 KB to 2 MB.
Examples
tcpwindowsize 63
TECBEGINEVENTLOGGING
The TECBEGINEVENTLOGGING option specifies whether event logging for the
Tivoli receiver should begin when the server starts up. If the TECHOST option is
specified, TECBEGINEVENTLOGGING defaults to YES.
Syntax
TECBegineventlogging Yes
No
Parameters
Yes
Specifies that event logging begins when the server starts up and if a
TECHOST option is specified.
No Specifies that event logging should not begin when the server starts up. To
later begin event logging to the Tivoli receiver (if the TECHOST option has
been specified), you must issue the BEGIN EVENTLOGGING command.
Examples
tecbegineventlogging yes

TECHOST
The TECHOST option specifies the host name or IP address for the Tivoli event
server.
Syntax
TECHost host_name
Parameters
host_name
Specifies the host name or IP address for the Tivoli event server.
Examples
techost 9.114.22.345
TECPORT
The TECPORT option specifies the TCP/IP port address on which the Tivoli event
server is listening. This option is only required if the Tivoli event server is on a
system that does not have a Port Mapper service running.
Syntax
TECPort port_number
Parameters
port_number
Specifies the Tivoli event server port address. The value must be between 0
and 32767.
Examples
tecport 1555

TECUTF8EVENT
The TECUTF8EVENT option allows the Tivoli Storage Manager administrator to
send information to the Tivoli Enterprise Console (TEC) server in UTF–8 data
format. The default is No. You can display whether or not this option is enabled by
issuing the QUERY OPTION command.
Syntax
TECUTF8event Yes
No
Parameters
Yes
Specifies that the Tivoli Storage Manager server will encode the TEC event into
UTF–8 before issuing the event to the TEC server.
No Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager server will not encode the TEC event into
UTF–8 and it will be issued to the TEC server in ASCII format.
Examples
tecutf8event yes
THROUGHPUTDATATHRESHOLD
The THROUGHPUTDATATHRESHOLD option specifies a throughput threshold
that a client session must reach to prevent being cancelled after the time threshold
is reached.
This option is used in conjunction with the THROUGHPUTTIMETHRESHOLD

server option, which sets the value for the time threshold plus the media wait
time. The time threshold starts when the client begins sending data to the server
for storage (as opposed to setup or session housekeeping data).
Syntax
THROUGHPUTDatathreshold kilobytes_per_second
Parameters
kilobytes_per_second
Specifies the throughput that client sessions must achieve to prevent
cancellation after THROUGHPUTTIMETHRESHOLD minutes have elapsed.
This threshold does not include time spent waiting for media mounts. A value
of 0 prevents examining client sessions for insufficient throughput. Throughput
is computed by adding send and receive byte counts and dividing by the
length of the session. The length does not include time spent waiting for media
mounts and starts at the time a client sends data to the server for storage. The
default is 0. The minimum value is 0; the maximum is 99999999.
Examples
Specify that the server is to wait until 90 minutes plus the media wait time after a
session has started sending data before storage examines it as a candidate for
cancellation due to low throughput. If a session is not achieving 50 KB per second
in transfer rates, it will be cancelled.
throughputtimethreshold 90
Throughputdatathreshold 50

THROUGHPUTTIMETHRESHOLD
The THROUGHPUTTIMETHRESHOLD option specifies the time threshold for a
session after which it may be cancelled for low throughput.
Syntax
THROUGHPUTTimethreshold minutes
Parameters
minutes
Specifies the threshold for examining client sessions and cancelling them if the
data throughput threshold is not met (see the
THROUGHPUTDATATHRESHOLD server option). This threshold does not
include time spent waiting for media mounts. The time threshold starts when a
client begins sending data to the server for storage (as opposed to setup or
session housekeeping data). A value of 0 prevents examining client sessions for
low throughput. The default is 0. The minimum value is 0; the maximum is
99999999.
Examples
Specify that the server is to wait until 90 minutes plus the media wait time after a
session has started sending data before examining it as a candidate for
cancellation. If a session is not achieving 50 thousand bytes per second in transfer
rates, it will be cancelled.
throughputtimethreshold 90
Throughputdatathreshold 50
TXNGROUPMAX
The TXNGROUPMAX option specifies the number of objects that are transferred as
a group between a client and the server between transaction commit points. The
minimum value is 4 objects and the maximum value is 65000 objects. The default
value is 4096 objects. The objects transferred are actual files, directories, or both.
The server counts each file or directory as one object.
It is possible to affect the performance of client backup, archive, restore, and

retrieve operations by using a larger value for this option:
1. If you increase the value of the TXNGROUPMAX option by a large amount,
watch for possible effects on the recovery log. A larger value for the
TXNGROUPMAX option can result in increased utilization of the recovery log,
as well as an increased length of time for a transaction to commit. If the effects
are severe enough, they can lead to problems with operation of the server.
2. Increasing the value of the TXNGROUPMAX option can improve throughput
for operations storing data directly to tape, especially when storing a large
number of objects. However, a larger value of the TXNGROUPMAX option can
also increase the number of objects that must be resent in the case where the
transaction is stopped because an input file changed during backup, or because
a new storage volume was required. The larger the value of the
TXNGROUPMAX option, the more data must be resent.
3. Increasing the TXNGROUPMAX value will affect the responsiveness of
stopping the operation and the client may will have to wait longer for the
transaction to complete.
You can override the value of this option for individual client nodes. See the
TXNGROUPMAX parameter in “REGISTER NODE (Register a node)” on page 970
and “UPDATE NODE (Update node attributes)” on page 1298.
This option is related to the TXNBYTELIMIT option in the client options file.
TXNBYTELIMIT controls the number of bytes, as opposed to the number of
objects, that are transferred between transaction commit points. At the completion
of transferring an object, the client commits the transaction if the number of bytes
transferred during the transaction reaches or exceeds the value of TXNBYTELIMIT,
regardless of the number of objects transferred.
Syntax
TXNGroupmax number_of_objects
Parameters
number_of_objects
Specifies a number from 4 to 65000 for the maximum number of objects per
transaction. The default is 4096.
Examples
txngroupmax 4096

UNIQUETDPTECEVENTS
The UNIQUETDPTECEVENTS option generates a unique Tivoli Enterprise Console
(TEC) event class for each individual Tivoli Storage Manager message, including
client, server, and Tivoli Data Protection (TDP) agent messages. The default is No.
Syntax
UNIQUETDPtecevents Yes
No
Parameters
Yes
Specifies that unique TDP messages are sent to the TEC event server.
Dynamically sets UNIQUETECevents to YES.
No Specifies that general messages are sent to the TEC event server.
Examples

(TEC) event class for each individual Tivoli Storage Manager message. The default
is No.
Syntax
UNIQUETECevents Yes
No
Parameters
Yes
Specifies that unique messages are sent to the TEC event server.
No Specifies that general messages are sent to the TEC event server.
Examples

USEREXIT
The USEREXIT option specifies a user-defined exit that will be given control to
manage an event.
Syntax
USEREXIT Yes module_name
No
Parameters
Yes
Specifies that event logging to the user exit receiver begins automatically at
server startup.
No Specifies that event logging to the user exit receiver does not begin
command.
module_name
Specifies the module name of the user exit.
This is the name of a shared library containing the exit. The module name can
be either a fully qualified path name or just the module name itself. If it is just
the module name, it is loaded from the current directory.
Examples
userexit yes fevent.exit
VERBCHECK
The VERBCHECK option specifies that the server will do additional error checking
on the structure of commands sent by the client. This option should only be
enabled when the client sends incorrectly formed requests to the server, causing
the server to crash. When this option is enabled, you will get a protocol error
instead of a server crash.
Syntax
VERBCHECK
Parameters
None
Examples
Enable additional error checking for commands sent by the client:

verbcheck

VOLUMEHISTORY
The VOLUMEHISTORY option specifies the name of files to be automatically
updated whenever server sequential volume history information is changed. There
is no default for this option.
You can include one or more VOLUMEHISTORY options in the server options file.
When you use multiple VOLUMEHISTORY options, the server automatically
updates and stores a backup copy of the volume history information in each file
you specify.
Syntax
VOLUMEHistory file_name
Parameters
file_name
Specifies the name of the file where you want the server to store a backup
copy of the volume history information that it collects.

Use this utility to increase space for the database by adding directories for the
database to use. This utility performs the same function as the EXTEND DBSPACE
command, but you can use it when the server is not running.
Restriction: Redistribution of data and reclaiming of space as part of an operation

to extend database space only works with DB2 Version 9.7 or later table spaces,
which are created when you format a new Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.2 or
later server. If you upgraded or restored your Tivoli Storage Manager server from
V6.1, you cannot redistribute data or reclaim space. You must use the DSMSERV
EXTEND DBSPACE utility with RECLAIMSTORAGE=NO.

For more information, see the Optimizing Performance guide.
Syntax
DSMSERV EXTend DBSpace
-u user_name -i instance_dir
,
RECLAIMstorage = Yes
db_directory
RECLAIMstorage = No
Yes
Parameters
-u user_name
-i instance_dir
db_directory (Required)
Specifies the directories for database storage. The directories must be empty
and accessible by the user ID of the database manager. A directory name must
be a fully qualified name and cannot exceed 175 characters in length. Enclose
the name in quotation marks if it contains embedded blanks, an equal sign, or
other special characters. If you are specifying a list of directories for database
storage, the maximum length of the list can be 1400 characters.
RECLAIMstorage
Specifies whether data is redistributed across newly created database
directories and space is reclaimed from the old storage paths when you add
space to the database. This parameter is optional. The default value is Yes.
Yes
Specifies that data is redistributed so that new directories are available for
immediate use.
Important: The redistribution process uses considerable system resources

so ensure that you plan ahead. Also, the server might be offline for a
while, until the process is completed.

No Specifies that data is not redistributed across database directories and
storage space is not reclaimed.
Example: Increase space for the database
Add a directory named stg1 in the tsm_db directory for the database storage space
and then redistribute data and reclaim space by issuing the following command:
dsmserv extend dbspace /tsm_db/stg1
DSMSERV FORMAT (Format the database and log)
Use the DSMSERV FORMAT utility to initialize the server database and recovery log.
No other server activity is allowed while initializing the database and recovery log.
The directories that are specified in this utility should be on fast, reliable storage.
Do not place the directories on file systems that might run out of space. If certain
directories (for example, the active log directory) become unavailable or full, the
server stops.
When a server is initially created by using the DSMSERV FORMAT utility or the
configuration wizard, a server database and recovery log are created. In addition,
files are created to hold database information that is used by the database
manager.

DSMSERV INSERTDB (Move a server database into an empty
database)
Use the DSMSERV INSERTDB utility to move a server database into a new database.
The database can be extracted from the original server and inserted into a new
database on the new server by using a network connection between the two
servers. The database can also be inserted from media that contains the extracted
database.
Before you use the DSMSERV INSERTDB utility, complete the planning and
preparation tasks, such as backing up the database and saving configuration
information. Ensure that you meet all requirements before you move the server
database. For planning and preparation information, see the upgrade or migration
procedure for your operating system.
Requirements for insertion by using media

Before you run the utility to insert the server database into an empty database,
ensure that your system meets the following requirements.
v The manifest file from the DSMUPGRD EXTRACTDB operation must be available.
v If the manifest file does not contain device configuration information, or if you
are specifying the CONFIGINFO=DEVCONFIG parameter, both of the following
statements must be true:
– The server options file must contain an entry for the device configuration file.
– The device configuration file must have information about the device class
that is specified in the manifest file.

DSMSERV RESTORE DB (Restore the database)
Use this utility to restore a database by using a database backup.
Sockets Layer)
Use this utility for the following tasks:

v “DSMSERV RESTORE DB (Restore a database to its most current state)” on page
1582
v “DSMSERV RESTORE DB (Restore a database to a point-in-time)” on page 1585
Before you restore a database to a point-in-time or to its most current state, you
should be familiar with the procedures as they are described in the Administrator's
Guide.
The restore operation uses database backups created with the BACKUP DB
command.
Important: After a point-in-time restore operation, issue the AUDIT VOLUME

command to audit all DISK volumes and resolve any inconsistencies between
database information and storage pool volumes. Before restoring the database,
examine the volume history file to find out about any sequential access storage
pool volumes that were deleted or reused since the point in time to which the
database was restored.

DSMSERV RESTORE DB (Restore a database to its most
current state)
Use the DSMSERV RESTORE DB utility to restore a database to its most current
state under certain conditions.
The following conditions must be met:

v An intact volume history file is available.
v The recovery logs are available.
v A device configuration file with the applicable device information is available.
Sockets Layer)
Tivoli Storage Manager requests volume mounts to load the most recent backup
series and then uses the recovery logs to update the database to its most current
state.
Snapshot database backups cannot be used to restore a database to its most current
state.

Parameters
-u user_name
-i instance_dir
Specifies an instance directory to use. This instance directory becomes the
current working directory of the server.
-o options_file
-noexpire
-quiet
RECOVerydir
Specifies a directory in which to store recovery log information from the
database backup media. This directory must have enough space to hold this
transaction recovery information and must be an empty directory. If this
parameter is not specified, the default is to the directory specified by one of
the following parameters in the DSMSERV FORMAT or DSMSERV
LOADFORMAT utility:
v ARCHFAILOVERLOGDIRECTORY, if specified
v ARCHLOGDIRECTORY, if ARCHFAILOVERLOGDIRECTORY is not
specified
ACTIVELOGDirectory
Specifies a directory in which to store the log files that are used to track the
active database operations. This directory must be specified only if the intent is
to switch to an active log directory different from the one that had already
been configured.
On Specifies a file that lists the directories to which the database is restored.
Specify each directory on a separate line in the file. For example, the ON
parameter specifies the restorelist.txt file, which contains the following list:
/tsmdb001
/tsmdb002
/tsmdb003
If this parameter is not specified, the original directories that were recorded in
the database backup are used.
PReview
Specifies that the volume history files be examined and that the database
backup volumes from the volume history file be evaluated.
1. Which set of database backup volumes best meets the most current criteria
that are specified for restore processing? The volume history information
provides details about the backup series ID, the operation ID (full,
incremental 1, incremental 2, and so on), the date of the database backup,
and the device class. This information and the parameters that are specified
in the DSMSERV RESTORE DB command determine what to use to perform the
restore. The volume history file is examined to find the most recent
database backup and then to restore the data by using that backup.
2. Is self-describing data available for the selected set of database backup
volumes? Cross-check the volume history information for this backup
series. The reconciliation reports what the self-describing data contains
compared to what was learned from the volume history entries. The
cross-check involves mounting one or more of the volumes that are
indicated by the volume history. Then, using the self-describing data that
was included in the database backup volumes, that information is
reconciled against what is in the volume history for the database backup. If
the information from the volume history file is inconsistent with the
self-describing data, then messages are issued to identify the problem. For
example, not all values are specified and available, and no self-describing
data is found.
If the volume history information is consistent with self-describing data from
the database backup, a message is issued indicating that the database backup
can be used for restore processing.

If the volume history information is inconsistent with the self-describing data
from the database backup or if the self-describing data for the backup cannot
be found, error messages are issued indicating what was checked and what
was missing.
If the PREVIEW parameter is not specified or if it is set to NO, and if the
volume history and self-describing data from the database backup are
consistent, then the restore proceeds.
If the PREVIEW parameter is not specified or if it is set to NO, and the
reconciliation and validation fail, the database restore is not performed. Make
extra volumes available and referred to from the volume history file, or remove
the incomplete backup series or operation so that the Tivoli Storage Manager
server selects a different preferred series or operation and continues processing.
If the PREVIEW parameter is set to YES, the process performs only the
evaluation of the volume history file and the reconciliation and validation
against the selected database backup.
Example: Restore the database to its most current state
Restore the database to its most current state by using the already configured
active log directory.
dsmserv restore db
DSMSERV RESTORE DB (Restore a database to a
point-in-time)
Use this command to restore a database to a point in time. A volume history file
and a device configuration file must be available.
v The connection to the Tivoli Storage Manager server is protected by Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL)
You can use full and incremental database backups, or snapshot database backups
can be used to restore a database to a point in time.
Tip: When you restore a V6 or later Tivoli Storage Manager server database to a
specific point in time, the preferred method is to issue the DSMSERV REMOVE DB
command before you issue the DSMSERV RESTORE DB command. This ensures that
the system is in a clean state. The system drops and uncatalogs the database in the
background. When you restore data to a specific point in time, all the required logs
and the database image are retrieved from the backup media.

-noexpire
-quiet
TODate (Required)
Specifies the date to which to restore the database. The following values are
possible:
MM/DD/YYYY
Specifies that you want to restore a database by using the last backup
series that was created before this specified date.
TODAY
Specifies that you want to restore a database by using the most recent
backup series that was created before today.
TODAY-numdays or -numdays
Specifies that you want to restore a database by using the most recent
backup series that was created the specified number of days before the
current date.
TOTime
Specifies the time of day to which to restore the database. This parameter is
optional. The default is the end of the day (23:59:59). Possible values are:
HH:MM:SS
Specifies that you want to restore the database by using the last backup
series that is created on or before the specified time on the date that is
specified on the TODATE parameter.
NOW
Specifies that you want to restore the database by using a backup series
that is created on or before the current time on the date that is specified on
the TODATE parameter.
For example, if you issue the DSMSERV RESTORE DB utility at 9:00 with
TOTIME=NOW, the database is restored by using the last backup series
that is created on or before 9:00 on the date that is specified on the
TODATE parameter.
NOW-numhours:numminutes or -numhours:numminutes
Specifies that you want to restore the database by using a backup series
that is created on or before the current time minus a specified number of
hours and, optionally, minutes on the date that is specified on the TODATE
parameter.
For example, if you issue the DSMSERV RESTORE DB utility at 9:00 with
TOTIME=NOW-3:30 or TOTIME+-3:30, the database is restored by using
the last backup series that is created on or before 5:30 on the date that is
specified on the TODATE parameter.
Source
Specifies whether the database is restored by using either database full and
incremental backup volumes or snapshot database volumes. This parameter is
optional. The default value is DBBackup. The following values are possible:
DBBackup
Specifies that the database is restored as follows:
1. Reads the volume history file to locate the database full and
incremental backup volumes that are needed.
2. Requests mounts and loads the data from the database full and
incremental backup volumes as required to restore the database volume
to the specified time.
DBSnapshot
Specifies that the database is restored as follows:
1. Reads the volume history file to locate the snapshot database volumes
that are needed,
2. Requests mounts and loads data from snapshot database volumes as
required to restore the volume to the specified time.
RECOVerydir
Specifies a directory in which to store recovery log information from the
database backup media. This log information is used to establish transaction
consistency of the server database as part of the recovery processing. This
directory must have enough space to hold this transaction recovery
information and must be an empty directory. If this parameter is not specified,
the default is the directory that is specified by one of the following parameters
in the DSMSERV FORMAT or DSMSERV LOADFORMAT utility:
v ARCHFAILOVERLOGDIRECTORY, if specified
v ARCHLOGDIRECTORY, if ARCHFAILOVERLOGDIRECTORY is not
specified
ACTIVELOGDirectory
Specifies a directory in which to store the log files that are used to track the
active database operations. Specify this directory only if the intent is to switch
to an active log directory that is different from the one that was already
configured.
On Specifies a file that lists the directories to which the database is restored.
Specify each directory on a separate line in the file. For example, the ON
parameter specifies the restorelist.txt file, which contains the following list:
/tsmdb001
/tsmdb002
/tsmdb003
If this parameter is not specified, the original directories that were recorded in
the database backup are used.
PReview
Specifies that the volume history files be examined and that the database
backup volumes from the volume history file be evaluated.
1. Which set of database backup volumes best meets the point-in-time criteria
that are specified for restore processing? The volume history information
provides details about the backup series ID, the operation ID (full,
incremental 1, incremental 2, and so on), the date of the database backup,
and the device class. This information and the parameters that are specified
in the DSMSERV RESTORE DB command determine what to use to perform the
restore. The volume history file is examined to find the best database
backup that meets the specified point-in-time criteria and then perform the
restore by using that backup.
2. Is self-describing data available for the selected set of database backup
volumes? Cross-check the volume history information for this backup
series. The reconciliation reports what the self-describing data contains
compared to what was learned from the volume history entries. The
cross-check involves mounting one or more of the volumes that are
indicated by the volume history. Then, using the self-describing data that

was included in the database backup volumes, that information is
reconciled against what is in the volume history for the database backup. If
the information from the volume history file is inconsistent with the
self-describing data, then messages are issued to identify the problem. For
example, not all values are specified and available, and no self-describing
data is found.
If the volume history information is consistent with self-describing data from
the database backup, a message is issued indicating that the database backup
can be used for restore processing.
If the volume history information is inconsistent with the self-describing data
from the database backup or if the self-describing data for the backup cannot
be found, error messages are issued indicating what was checked and what
was missing.
If the PREVIEW parameter is not specified or if it is set to NO, and if the
volume history and self-describing data from the database backup are
consistent, then the restore proceeds.
If the PREVIEW parameter is not specified or if it is set to NO, and the
reconciliation and validation fail, the database restore is not performed. Make
extra volumes available and referred to from the volume history file, or remove
the incomplete backup series or operation so that the Tivoli Storage Manager
server selects a different preferred series or operation and continues processing.
If the PREVIEW parameter is set to YES, the process performs only the
evaluation of the volume history file and the reconciliation and validation
against the selected database backup.
Example: Restore the database to a specific point in time
Restore the database to its state on May 12, 2011 at 2:25 PM.
