Use the dsmRemoveServer.pl script to reconcile and recall files that are managed by the specified Tivoli® Storage Manager server. The recall and reconciliation processes run for the specified file system.
The dsmMultiServerRemove.pl script does the following three tasks:
- Recalls all migrated files that are coupled with the Tivoli Storage
Manager server that
was removed to the specified file system.
The Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management client determines how much space is required to recall all files to the file system. If there is not enough space, the Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management client notifies you. To remove the server, make space available and run the script again.
- Reconciles the specified file system with the Tivoli Storage
Manager server that
was removed. The following reconciliation tasks are completed:
- The Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management client verifies that valid objects for each local stub file exist in the space management pool of the specified Tivoli Storage Manager server.
- When orphans are identified, their names are recorded in the .SpaceMan/orphan.stubs file.
- The Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management client expires all files in the space management storage pool on the Tivoli Storage Manager server.
Note: The script does not expire backup copies. If you want to also expire backup copies, you can modify the script by adding the backup-archive client command dsmc expire.The dsmMultiServerRemove.pl script calls the dsmreconcileGPFS.pl script for the reconciliation.
- Uncouples all files that are coupled with the Tivoli Storage Manager server that was removed.
The script is valid only for HSM GPFS™ clients. The script is in the /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/hsm/multiserver/samples/ directory.
