To import client node definitions from the ADSM server to sequential media, first complete the following fields and then click Finish, or click Cancel to end the task.
Enter the list of client node names for which you want to import client node information.
Enter the list of file space names for which data is to be imported.
Enter the list of policy domain names to which nodes must be assigned in order for node information to be imported.
Select a device class. Import data will be read from this device.
Enter the volume names. Import data will be read from these volumes.
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, WORM, WORM12, WORM14 | Specify 1-32 alphanumeric characters. | ||||||||||||
Removablefile | Specify 1-6 alphanumeric characters. | ||||||||||||
Server | Specify 1-250 alphanumeric characters. | ||||||||||||
3570, 3590, 4mm, 8mm, DLT, DTF, QIC, Generictape, Cartridge, ECartridge | Specify 1-6 alphanumeric characters. |
The following device types are available on these platforms:
Device Types | AIX | HP- UNIX |
MVS | VM | Sun Solaris |

Select the type of files that should be imported for all nodes specified, and found on the export media. This parameter is optional.
None | Specifies that no files are to be imported; only node definitions are to be imported. The default is None. |
All | Specifies that ADSM imports all backup versions of files, all archived files, and all files migrated from a user's local file system. |
Archive | Specifies that only archived files are to be imported . |
Backup | Specifies that only backup versions, whether active or inactive, are to be imported. |
Backup active | Specifies that only active backup versions are to be imported. |
Allactive | Specifies that ADSM imports all active backup versions of files, all archived files, and all files migrated from a user's local file system. |
Space managed | Specifies that only files which have been migrated from a user's local file system (space-managed files) are to be imported. |
Select an option for Preview.
Yes | Specifies that you want to preview the results of the import operation, without actually importing node information. |
No | Specifies that the node information is to be imported without a preview. The default is No. |
Select whether the recorded backup or archive dates for client node file copies are set to the values specified when the files were exported (Absolute), or are adjusted relative to the date of import (Relative).
Absolute | Specifies the date for file copies are set to the values specified when the files were exported. The default is Absolute. |
Relative | Specifies the date for file copies are adjusted to the date of import. |
Select whether node definitions that exist on the server should be replaced by imported nodes having the same name. Existing file spaces are not replaced. New file spaces are created when identical file space names are encountered.
Yes | Specifies that nodes are to be replaced by the imported nodes. |
No | Specifies that nodes are not to be replaced by imported nodes. The default is No. |
