IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management, Version 7.1

Updating settings from the Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management client GUI

You can update space management settings to change the way the Tivoli® Storage Manager for Space Management client manages space on a file system. If you update space management settings for a deactivated file system, the new settings do not take effect until you reactivate the file system.

Updating space management settings can affect the following:
  • The order in which files are migrated to the Tivoli Storage Manager server during threshold migration and demand migration
  • When threshold migration begins and ends
  • The amount of space available on the server to store migrated and premigrated files
  • The stub file size

To update space management settings for a file system, follow these steps:

  1. From the Manage Resources window, click a client node in the Client Nodes tree. If the client node is not connected, then you need to sign on to the client node. The list of file systems on a client node displays in a table in the work area next to the Client Nodes tree.
  2. Select a file system from the work area, and click the File System Properties button. The File System Properties window opens.
  3. Update the space management settings in the Thresholds, Management, or Candidates tab in the File System Properties window.
  4. Click OK to update the space management settings.
