To import administrator and authority definitions for one or more administrators from export media to the Tivoli Storage Manager server, complete the following fields and then click Finish, or click Cancel to end the task.
Select an administrator name. Use the wildcard character (*) to import information for all the administrators in the list. The default is *.
Select an option. This parameter is optional.
Yes | You want to preview the results of the import operation, without actually importing the administrator information. Information on the number and types of objects imported, together with the number of bytes transferred are reported to the server console and the activity log. |
No | The information is to be imported. The default is No. |
Enter the device class from which import data is to be read. This parameter is required. You cannot specify the DISK or NAS device class. If the mount limit for the device class specified has already been reached (all drives are busy) when the import runs, Tivoli Storage Manager automatically cancels lower priority operations, such as reclamation, to make a mount point available for the import.
Enter the volume names that are to be used for the import operation. Volumes must be imported in the same order as they were exported. This parameter is required. Possible values are:
volname | The name of one or more volumes that
contain the data to import. 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 that has the data for the import operation.
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. |
Select whether definitions that exist on the server should be replaced by imported objects having the same name.
Yes | Specifies that objects are to be replaced by the imported objects. |
No | Specifies that objects are not to be replaced by imported objects. The default is No |
