Administrator's Reference
Use this command to export all or part of the server control information
and client file data (if specified) from the server to sequential
media.
The EXPORT SERVER command exports server information such as:
- Policy domain definitions
- Policy set definitions
- Management class and copy group definitions
- Schedule definitions defined for each policy domain
- Administrator definitions
- Client node definitions, if the client node exists on the target server
Optionally, you can export data such as:
- File space definitions
- Access authorization information pertaining to the file spaces exported
- Backed up, archived, and space-managed files
You can use the QUERY ACTLOG command to view the actual status information
indicating the size and the success or failure of the export operation.
This command generates a background process that can be cancelled with the
CANCEL PROCESS command. If an EXPORT SERVER background process is
cancelled, the sequential media holding the exported data are incomplete and
should not be used for importing data. To display information on
background processes, use the QUERY PROCESS command.
Privilege Class
To issue this command, you must have system privilege.

Parameters
- FILEData
- Specifies the type of files that should be exported for all nodes defined
to the server. This parameter is optional. The default value is
NONE.
The device class used by the file data is determined by the device class
for the storage pool. If it is the same device class specified in this
command, two drives are needed to export server information. The mount
limit for the device class must be set to at least 2.
The following descriptions mention active and
inactive backup file copies. An active backup file copy is
the most recent backup copy for a file that still exists on the client
workstation. All other backup file copies are called inactive
copies. The values are:
- ALl
- TSM exports all backup versions of files, all archived files, and all
space-managed files.
- None
- TSM does not export files, only definitions.
- ARchive
- TSM exports only archived files.
- Backup
- TSM exports only backup versions, whether active or inactive.
- BACKUPActive
- TSM exports only active backup versions.
- ALLActive
- TSM exports all active backup versions of files, all archived files, and
all space-managed files.
- SPacemanaged
- TSM exports only space-managed files.
- Preview
- Specifies whether you want to preview the results of the export operation,
without exporting information. You can use this parameter to preview
how many bytes of data are transferred, allowing you to determine how many
volumes will be required. This parameter is optional. The
default value is NO. The values are:
- No
- Specifies that the server information is to be exported. If you
specify this value, you must also specify a device class.
- Yes
- Specifies that the operation will be previewed but not performed.
Information is reported to the server console and the activity log. If
you specify this value, you do not need to specify a device class.
- DEVclass
- Specifies the device class to which export data is to be written.
You cannot specify the DISK device class.
Notes:
- If all drives for the device class are busy when the export runs, TSM
cancels lower priority operations, such as reclamation, to make a drive
available.
- You can export data to a storage pool on another server by specifying a
device class whose device type is SERVER. For details about storing
data on another server, see Administrator's Guide.
- Scratch
- Specifies whether scratch volumes can be used. The default is
YES. The values are:
- Yes
- Specifies that scratch volumes can be used for the export. If you
also specify a list of volumes, scratch volumes are used only if there is not
enough space on the volumes specified.
- No
- Specifies that scratch volumes cannot be used for export. To
determine how many volumes you may need, you can run the command specifying
PREVIEW=YES.
- VOLumenames
- Specifies the volumes to be used to contain exported data. This
parameter is optional, unless you specify SCRATCH=NO and PREVIEW=YES.
If you do not specify a volume name, scratch volumes are used. The
values are:
- volume_name
- Specifies the volume name. To specify multiple volumes, separate
the names with commas and no intervening spaces.
- FILE:file_name
- Specifies the name of a file that contains a list of volumes. In
the file, each volume name must be on a separate line. Blank and
comment lines that begin with an asterisk are ignored.
- Note:
- When the file name is specified within single quotation marks, the value
entered is used as the data set name. When the filename is specified
without quotation marks, the user prefix associated with the server job is
appended to the front of the file name and the resulting string is used as the
data set name. For example, the user prefix associated with the server
job is SRVRV4 and the file name specified is LIST.TAPES. The
data set name will be SRVRV4.LIST.TAPES.
Use these naming conventions when specifying volumes associated with the
following device types:
For this device
| Specify
|
FILE
| Any fully qualified file name string. For example,
im.data.mtl.
|
TAPE
| 1-6 alphanumeric characters.
|
SERVER
| 1-250 alphanumeric characters.
|
- USEDVolumelist
- Specifies the file where a list of volumes used in the export operation
will be stored. This parameter is optional.
This file can be used as input to the import operation. This file
will contain comment lines with the date and time the export was done, and the
command issued to create the export.
- Note:
- If you specify an existing file, the file will be overwritten.
If you specify a dataset name, you must enclose the name in single
quotation marks, surrounded by double quotation marks. For example,
USEDVOLUMELIST="'DATA.TAPEVOL'".
Examples
Task 1
From the server, export server information to tape volumes TAPE01, TAPE02,
and TAPE03. Specify that these tape volumes be read by a device
assigned to the MENU1 device class.
- Command:
-
export server devclass=menu1
volumenames=tape01,tape02,tape03
Task 2
From the server, export server information to tape volumes listed in a file
named LISTOF.TAPEVOL. This file contains these lines:
TAPE01
TAPE02
TAPE03
Specify that these tape volumes be used by a device assigned to the MENU1
device class.
- Command:
- export server devclass=menu1
volumenames=file:'listof.tapevol'
