A file space name identifies a group of files that are stored as a logical unit in server storage. Administrators manage file spaces in which TSM stores each client node's data. See Overview of Client Nodes and File Spaces for more information.
Administrators can perform the following activities when managing file
spaces:
Task | Required Privilege Class |
---|---|
Displaying information about file spaces | Any administrator |
Deleting file spaces | System or unrestricted policy |
Deleting file spaces assigned to specific policy domains | System, unrestricted policy, or restricted policy for those domains |
You can display file space information to:
You display file space information by identifying the client node name and file space name.
Note: | File space names are case-sensitive and must be entered exactly as known to the server. |
For example, to view information about file spaces defined for client node PEASE, enter:
query filespace pease *
The following figure shows the output from this command.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Node Name Filespace Platform Filespace Capacity %Util | | Name Type (MB) | |------------------------------ ----------- -------- --------- -------- ----- | |PEASE /home/peas- AIX JFS 196.0 91.7 | | e/dir | |PEASE /home/peas- AIX JFS 328.0 81.0 | | e/dir1 | |PEASE /home/peas- AIX JFS 46.9 96.0 | | e/dir2 | | | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
You can delete a client node from a server, but first you must delete all of that client's data from server storage by deleting any file spaces that belong to the node.
Administrators may want to delete a file space when:
The authority to delete backed up or archived files from server storage is set when a client node is registered. See Accepting Default Closed Registration or Enabling Open Registration for information on allowing users to delete files in storage pools.
For example, client node PEASE no longer needs archived files in file space /home/pease/dir2. However, he does not have the authority to delete those files. You can delete them by entering:
delete filespace pease /home/pease/dir2 type=archive
You must delete a user's files from storage pools before you can remove a client node. For example, to delete all file spaces belonging to client node ID DEBBYG, enter:
delete filespace debbyg * type=any
For client nodes that support multiple users, such as UNIX, a file owner name is associated with each file on the server. The owner name is the user ID of the operating system, such as the UNIX user ID. When you delete a file space belonging to a specific owner, only files that have the specified owner name in the file space are deleted.
Note: | After you delete all of a client node's file spaces, you can delete the node with the REMOVE NODE command. See Deleting Client Nodes for more details. |
