To export policy information for one or more policy domains from a Tivoli Storage Manager server to sequential media, complete the following fields. Then, click Finish, or click Cancel to end the task.
Select a policy domain name.
Specify whether you want to preview the results of the export operation, without actually exporting information.
Yes | Preview the results of the export operation, without actually exporting policy information. |
No | Export the policy information without giving you a preview of the results. If you specify this value, you must specify a value for Device Class. The default is No. |
Enter a device class. Export data will be written to this device. Device Class is required unless you specified Preview=Yes. 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 export runs, Tivoli Storage Manager automatically cancels lower priority operations, such as reclamation, to make a mount point available for the export.
Specify whether scratch volumes can be used for export.
Yes | Scratch volumes are to be used for export. If you include a list of volumes on Volume Names, 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 | Scratch volumes cannot be used for export. |
Enter the names of one or more volumes used to contain the exported data. This parameter is optional. You must specify a volume name if Use Scratch Volumes=No and Preview=No. 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.
