Reconciling Your File Systems Using Commands

You can use the dsmreconcile command to perform reconcile tasks rather than using the graphical user interface. If you reconcile several file systems, increase the value on the reconcileinterval option in your dsm.sys file to reduce the impact that the dsmreconcile command might have on system performance.

Use the dsmreconcile command to perform these reconciliation tasks:

Table 15 provides several examples of reconciliation tasks that you can perform.

Table 15. Examples Using the dsmreconcile Command

To Do This Enter This
Reconcile the /home file system. dsmreconcile /home
Synchronize the /home file system. dsmreconcile -f /home

The dsmreconcile command traverses your managed file systems under the following conditions:

When you upgrade from a previous version of the HSM client, the next run of dsmreconcile on a previously managed file system forces a full tree traversal. This process occurs only once for each managed file system to update the client and server databases to the new format.

The dsmautomig command can run in parallel with dsmreconcile if it is not necessary for the dsmreconcile command to traverse your file system. The exception to this is when dsmreconcile queries the server for a list of migrated files.

Attention: If demand migration interrupts reconciliation, then the migration candidates list and status file might not be accurate.
