IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management, Version 7.1

Adding space management to file systems

You can add space management by issuing a command or by using the Tivoli® Storage Manager for Space Management client GUI.

On GPFS™ file systems, you can use the GPFS policy engine to monitor space thresholds and search for migration candidates.

For information about configuring GPFS integration with the Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management client, see the Tivoli field guide TSM for Space Management for UNIX-GPFS Integration Part I: Policy-driven Threshold Migration at https://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27018848.

If you do not use the GPFS policy engine to control migration, specify the space thresholds with the dsmmigfs add command or the dsmmigfs update command or with the Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management client GUI.

To add space management to your local file systems from the command line, use the dsmmigfs add command.

To add space management to a file system with the Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management client GUI, follow these steps:

From the Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management client GUI Manage Resources window, click a client node in the Client Nodes tree. If the client node is not connected, then you must sign on to the client node. The Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management client displays a list of file systems next to the Client Nodes tree.
Select a file system with status Not Managed, and click Manage. The status of the file system becomes Active.
If you want to change the default space management settings, click File System Properties. Make and save any needed changes.
