Tivoli Space Manager for UNIX Using the Hierarchical Storage Management Clients

Globally Deactivate Space Management

You can temporarily deactivate space management from all file systems on your client node. When you globally deactivate space management, you cannot perform migration, recall, or reconciliation on any file system. However, any migration, recall, or reconciliation process that is in progress completes before space management is globally deactivated.

Globally deactivate space management before you perform a system maintenance task or before your TSM administrator plans to export migrated files from one server and import them to another. When your TSM administrator completes the export and import processes, globally reactivate space management on the file systems that you previously deactivated.

Note:
If your administrator exports migrated files from one server and imports them to another, update the dsm.sys file so that the client node contacts the new server for space management services. The administrator can use a lock node command to prevent the client node from migrating or recalling files prior to performing the import and export tasks.

Globally deactivating space management:

To globally deactivate space management, follow these steps:

  1. Click Space Manager in the Hierarchical Storage Management window.
  2. Click File>Global Deactivate. An Information Dialog window displays to confirm that the HSM client deactivated space management on your client node.
  3. Click OK to close the window.

Globally Deactivate HSM from the Command Line

To globally deactivate space management on your client node from the command line, enter:
