IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management, Version 7.1

Reactivating space management

If you deactivated space management from your file systems, you can reactivate space management at any time with the command line or the Tivoli® Storage Manager for Space Management client GUI. If you globally deactivated your file systems, you can also globally reactivate them.

The state of the file system becomes active after you reactivate it. Files in the active file system can again be migrated to and recalled from the Tivoli Storage Manager server.

You can reactivate a single file system or globally reactivate deactivated file systems with the commands:

  dsmmigfs reactivate /home

  dsmmigfs globalreactivate

To reactivate a deactivated file system with the Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management client GUI. The state of a client node is displayed in the Status column of the table in the client nodes work area in the Manage Resources window. A client node can be in one of the following states:

Not connected
Active
Global deactivated
Not manageable
Not managed

You can also complete file system actions by using the Actions-> > File System menu. You can also use the menu that opens when you right click a file system in the file system table.

From the Manage Resources window, right-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 list of file systems on a client node is displayed in a table in the work area next to the Client Nodes tree.
If the node was globally deactivated, click Global Reactivate from the menu. Otherwise, to activate a deactivated file system from the work area, select the file system, and click Reactivate.
