IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management, Version 7.1

Adding space management to workload partitions on AIX V6.1 and V7.1 operating systems

AIX® V6.1 and V7.1 workload partitions (WPARs) act and look like stand-alone systems and provide an isolated environment for enterprise applications and data. A Tivoli® Storage Manager for Space Management client installed in the global partition has access to all file system data across WPARs.

Note: For more information about editing the dsm.sys file for WPARs, see IBM® Tivoli Storage Manager for UNIX and Linux Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide.

You can add space management only to WPAR file systems that are identified in the /etc/filesystems file.

To add space management support for WPARs, use the dsmmigfs add command. For example, to add space management to the file systems in two WPARs (wpar1 and wpar2), use the following commands:

dsmmigfs add /wpars/wpar1/home dsmmigfs add /wpars/wpar2/data dsmmigfs add /home dsmmigfs add /opt

When migrated files under /wpars/wpar1/home and /wpars/wpar1/data are accessed from their corresponding WPARs, the files are transparently recalled. They are transparently recalled if accessed from the global partition.

The Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management client is supported only in the global partition.
