Use this command to
associate one or more clients with
a schedule. You must assign a client node to the policy domain to
which a schedule belongs. Client nodes process operations according
to the schedules associated with the nodes.
Note: - Tivoli® Storage
Manager cannot run
multiple schedules concurrently for the same client node.
- In a macro, the server may stall if some commands (such as REGISTER NODE and DEFINE ASSOCIATION) are not committed as soon as you issue them. You could follow each
command in a macro with a COMMIT command. However,
a simpler solution is to include the -ITEMCOMMIT option
with the DSMADMC command.
Privilege class
To issue this command, you
must have one of the following privilege classes:
- System privilege
- Unrestricted policy privilege
- Restricted policy privilege
for the policy domain to which the
schedule belongs

Parameters
- domain_name (Required)
- Specifies the name of the policy domain
to which the schedule
belongs.
- schedule_name (Required)
- Specifies the name of the schedule that
you want to associate
with one or more clients.
- node_name (Required)
- Specifies the name of a client node or
a list of client nodes
to associate with the specified schedule. Use commas to separate
the items in the list. Do not leave spaces between the items and commas.
You can use a wildcard character to specify a name. The command will
not associate a listed client to the schedule if:
- The client
is already associated with the specified schedule.
- The client
is not assigned to the policy domain to which the schedule
belongs.
- The client is a NAS node name. All NAS nodes
are ignored.
Example: Associate client nodes with a schedule
Associate
the client nodes SMITH or JOHN with the WEEKLY_BACKUP schedule. The
associated clients are assigned to the EMPLOYEE_RECORDS policy domain.
define association employee_records
weekly_backup smith*,john*
Example:
Associate client nodes with a schedule
Associate
the client nodes JOE, TOM, and LARRY with the WINTER schedule. The
associated clients are assigned to the EMPLOYEE_RECORDS policy domain;
however, the client JOE is already associated with the WINTER schedule.
define association employee_records
winter joe,tom,larry
