You can remove space management from a file system.
Space management must be active on your file system to completely
remove it. You can remove space management with a single command or
with the Tivoli® Storage Manager for Space Management client GUI. Before you remove space management from your file system, ensure
that you have enough space on your file system to recall all migrated
files. Ensure also that all activity on your file system is stopped,
and that the file system is not being accessed.
When you remove space management from your file system,
the Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management client does the following tasks:
- Runs reconciliation for your file system. If any orphaned stub
files are located, a notification is posted. Check the orphan.stubs file in the .SpaceMan directory for a list
of orphaned stub files. To remove space management, first resolve
all orphaned stub files, and then try again.
- Determines how much space is required to recall all migrated files.
If there is not enough space, the Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management client notifies you.
To remove space management, make space available and try again.
- Recalls migrated files to the file system in the most efficient
recall order that is based on where they are stored.
- Notifies the server to delete all migrated files from storage.
- Deletes the .SpaceMan directory from your
file system.
- Updates information for your native file system.
To remove space management from an active file system with
the Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management client GUI, follow these steps:
- From the Manage Resourceswindow, 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.
- Select an Active file system from
the table in the work area, and click Unmanage. If migrated data is on the server, a warning dialog window opens
to inform you that all migrated files are recalled from the server.
Note: 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.
