To export client node definitions from a Tivoli Storage Manager server to sequential media, first complete the following fields and then click Finish, or click Cancel to end the task.
Note: You cannot export nodes of type NAS. During export processing, these nodes will be skipped.
Enter the list of client node names for which information is to be exported.
Enter the list of file space names for which data is to be exported.
Enter the file spaces that are known to the server to use Unicode.
Enter the file spaces by using their file space identifiers (FSIDs).
Select a policy domain name from which nodes should be exported.
Select the type of files that should be exported for all nodes defined to the server. This parameter is optional.
None | Specifies that no files are to be exported; only node definitions are to be exported. The default is None. |
All | Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager exports all backup versions of files, all archived files, and all files migrated from a user's local file system (space-managed files). |
Archive | Specifies that only archived files are to be exported. |
Backup | Specifies that only backup versions, whether active or inactive, are to be exported. |
Backupactive | Specifies that only active backup versions are to be exported. |
Allactive | Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager exports all active backup versions of files, all archived files, and all files migrated from a user's local file system (space-managed files). |
Spacemanaged | Specifies that only files which have been migrated from a user's local file system (space-managed files) are to be exported. |
Select an option for Preview.
Yes | Specifies that you want to preview the results of the export operation, without actually exporting node information. |
No | Specifies that the node information is to be exported without a preview. The default is No. |
Enter the device class to which export data is to be written.
Select whether to use scratch volumes for the export.
Yes | Specifies that scratch volumes are to be used for export. If you include a list of volumes on the Volume Names field, then scratch volumes are used only if there is not enough space to store the exported files on the volumes specified. If the device type associated with the specified device class is FILE, file names for scratch volumes are generated based on a time stamp. The default is Yes. |
No | Specifies that scratch volumes cannot be used for export. |
Enter the volume names. Export data will be written to these volumes. You must specify a volume name if you are not using scratch volumes and are not previewing. If you do not specify a volume name, then scratch volumes are used.
volname | The name of one or more volumes used to
contain the exported data. You can specify more than one
volume by separating each volume with a comma, with no
intervening spaces. Example: To use volumes TAPE01, TAPE02, TAPE03, specify the following: TAPE01, TAPE02, TAPE03 |
FILE: filename | The name of a file that contains a list
of volumes to use to store the exported data. Each volume
name must be on a separate line within the file. Blank
lines and comment lines beginning with an asterisk are
ignored. Example: To use TAPE01, TAPE02, and TAPE03, create a file named TAPEVOL that contains these lines: TAPE01 You can then enter FILE:tapevol in the Volume Names entry field. |
Use the following naming conventions when specifying volumes for each device type:
File | Specify any fully qualified name string
for your platform, for example:
|
||||||||||||||||
Optical | Specify 1-32 alphanumeric characters. This field does not apply to Linux or OS/400 for PASE. |
||||||||||||||||
Removable file | Specify 1-6 alphanumeric characters. This field does not apply to OS/400 for PASE. |
||||||||||||||||
Server | Specify 1-250 alphanumeric characters. | ||||||||||||||||
Tape | Specify 1-6 alphanumeric characters. |
Specify the name of a file where a list of volumes used in a successful export operation will be stored.
Note: If you specify this parameter with an existing file name, the existing file will be overwritten with the new information.
Specify the earliest date for which objects to be exported were stored on the server. Objects that were stored on the server earlier than the specified date will not be exported. Specify the date in MM/DD/YYYY format. If the File Data field specifies NONE, then this field is ignored.
Specify the earliest time for which objects to be exported were stored on the server. This field is only valid when you have entered a date in the From Date field. Objects that were stored on the server before the specified date and time will not be exported. If the File Data field specifies NONE, then this field is ignored. Specify the time with a format of HH:MM:SS. The default when used with the From Date field is midnight 00:00:00.
