Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Administrator's Guide


Managing File Spaces

A file space name identifies a group of files that are stored as a logical unit in server storage. Administrators manage file spaces in which TSM stores each client node's data. See Overview of Client Nodes and File Spaces for more information.

Administrators can perform the following activities when managing file spaces:

Task Required Privilege Class
Displaying information about file spaces Any administrator
Deleting file spaces System or unrestricted policy
Deleting file spaces assigned to specific policy domains System, unrestricted policy, or restricted policy for those domains

Displaying Information about File Spaces

You can display file space information to:

You display file space information by identifying the client node name and file space name.

Note:File space names are case-sensitive and must be entered exactly as known to the server.

For example, to view information about file spaces defined for client node PEASE, enter:

query filespace pease *

The following figure shows the output from this command.

Deleting File Spaces and Client Nodes

You can delete a client node from a server, but first you must delete all of that client's data from server storage by deleting any file spaces that belong to the node.

Deleting a File Space

Administrators may want to delete a file space when:

Note:After you delete all of a client node's file spaces, you can delete the node with the REMOVE NODE command. See Deleting Client Nodes for more details.
