Tivoli Space Manager for UNIX Using the Hierarchical Storage Management Clients

Remove Space Management

Space management must be active on your file system to completely remove it. Ensure that you have space on your file system to recall all migrated files. Before you remove space management from your file system, ensure that all activity on your file system has stopped and that the file system is not being accessed.

On an AIX JFS workstation, if the file system is being accessed when you remove space management, the FSM cannot unmount from the file system, and the TSM backup-archive and space management functions will not work correctly. If the FSM does not unmount when you remove space management from your file system, enter the unmount command for the file system to unmount it after all processes no longer access your file system.

When you remove space management from your file system, the HSM client performs the following:

To remove space management from one or more file systems, follow these steps:

  1. Click Space Manager in the Hierarchical Storage Management window.
  2. Highlight the file systems that you want to remove from space management.
  3. Click Selected>Remove Space Management to view the Question Dialog window. When you select more than one file system, a Question Dialog window displays for each file system.
  4. Click OK to recall all migrated files and continue with the remove process. The Remove Status window displays.
  5. Click Cancel in the Question Dialog window if you want to prevent HSM from removing space management from your file system.
  6. Click Stop in the Remove Status window if you want to end the process. However, any file that was recalled remains in a premigrated state. Space management is not removed from your file system. Your file system remains in an active state.
  7. Click Close to close the Remove Status window.

Remove Space Management With a Command

Use the dsmmigfs command to remove space management. For example, to remove space management from the /home file system, enter:
