To export client node definitions from a Tivoli Storage Manager server directly to another server for immediate import, first complete the following fields and then click Finish, or click Cancel to end the task.
Note: You cannot export nodes of type NAS. During export processing, these nodes will be skipped.
Enter the list of client node names for which information is to be exported.
Enter the list of file space names for which data is to be exported.
Enter the file spaces that are known to the server to use Unicode.
Enter the file spaces by using their file space identifiers (FSIDs).
Select a policy domain name from which nodes should be exported.
Select the type of files that should be exported for all nodes defined to the server. This parameter is optional.
None | Specifies that no files are to be exported; only node definitions are to be exported. The default is None. |
All | Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager exports all backup versions of files, all archived files, and all files migrated from a user's local file system (space-managed files). |
Archive | Specifies that only archived files are to be exported. |
Backup | Specifies that only backup versions, whether active or inactive, are to be exported. |
Backupactive | Specifies that only active backup versions are to be exported. |
Allactive | Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager exports all active backup versions of files, all archived files, and all files migrated from a user's local file system (space-managed files). |
Spacemanaged | Specifies that only files which have been migrated from a user's local file system (space-managed files) are to be exported. |
Specify the earliest date for which objects to be exported were stored on the server. Objects that were stored on the server earlier than the specified date will not be exported. Specify the date in MM/DD/YYYY format. If the File Data field specifies NONE, then this field is ignored.
Specify the earliest time for which objects to be exported were stored on the server. This field is only valid when you have entered a date in the From Date field. Objects that were stored on the server before the specified date and time will not be exported. If the File Data field specifies NONE, then this field is ignored. Specify the time with a format of HH:MM:SS. The default when used with the From Date field is midnight 00:00:00.
Enter the name of a target Tivoli Storage Manager server where the data for the export operation is to be directly imported.
Note: The specified target server must be defined on the originating server with the DEFINE SERVER command. The administrator that initiates the export operation must be defined with the same administrator name and password, and must have System authority on the target server.
Select an option. This parameter is optional. You can only use this option together with the To Server field. The default is No.
Yes | You want to preview the results of the import operation on the target server, without actually importing the data. Information on the number and types of objects exported, together with the number of bytes transferred are reported to the server console and the activity log. |
No | You want the node information to be imported on the target server. |
Specify whether client files are merged into existing file spaces on the target server (if they already exist) or if new file space names are generated. You can only use this option when you have a value entered in the To Server field. The default is No.
Select an option. This parameter is optional. You can only use this option together with the To Server field.
Yes | You want imported data on the target server merged with the existing file space, if a file space with the same name already exists on the target server. |
No | You want a new file space name generated for the imported data on the target server if file spaces with the same name as that defined for the import data already exist. |
Select an option. This parameter is optional. You can only use this option together with the To Server field. The default is No.
Yes | You want definitions replaced on the server if definitions, having the same name as those being imported, already exist on the target server. |
No | You want the imported definitions skipped if their names conflict with definitions already defined on the target server. |
