Administrator's Reference
Use this command to specify a prefix for a recovery plan file name.
If you issue this command, Tivoli Storage Manager uses the specified prefix if
the PREPARE command does not include the PLANPREFIX parameter.
Use the QUERY DRMSTATUS command to display the current value for the
recovery plan prefix.
Privilege Class
To issue this command, you must have system privilege.
Syntax
Parameters
- prefix (Required)
- Specifies a prefix for the path name used to generate the recovery plan
file name. The prefix can be up to 200 characters. Tivoli
Storage Manager uses the prefix if the PREPARE command is issued without the
PLANPREFIX parameter. Tivoli Storage Manager builds a unique recovery
plan file name by appending to the prefix the date and time format:
yyyymmdd.hhmmss (for example, 19951115.051421). If you
enter a null string (""), the current prefix is removed, and the server uses
the algorithm described in the PLANPREFIX parameter in the PREPARE
command.
For the prefix, you can specify:
- A directory path
- A directory path followed by a string
- A string
The following describes the rules for possible prefix
specifications:
- To specify a directory path for the prefix, end the prefix with a
backslash (\). Tivoli Storage Manager appends to the prefix the
date and time information using the yyyymmdd.hhmmss
format. For example the SET DRMPLANPREFIX is set to the
following:
c:\adsmsrv\recplans\
The resulting recovery plan file name is:
c:\adsmsrv\recplans\19951115.051421
- Note:
- If you issue the SET DRMPLANPREFIX command from a command line client and the
last character in the command line is a backslash, Tivoli Storage Manager
interprets it as a continuation character. To avoid this, enclose the
prefix in quotation marks. For example:
"c:\adsmsrv\recplans\"
- If the prefix is a directory path followed by a string, Tivoli Storage
Manager uses the string as part of the file name. Tivoli Storage
Manager appends to the prefix the date and time in the
.yyyymmdd.hhmmss format (note the initial
period). For example, the SET DRMPLANPREFIX is set to the following
c:\adsmsrv\recplans\accounting
The resulting recovery plan filename is the following:
c:\adsmsrv\recplans\accounting.19951115.051421
- If the prefix is a string that is not preceded by a directory path, Tivoli
Storage Manager appends to the prefix the date and time information in the
.yyyymmdd.hhmmss format (note the initial
period). The directory path that Tivoli Storage Manager uses is the
directory path representing this instance of the Tivoli Storage Manager server
(typically the directory that the Tivoli Storage Manager server was originally
installed from). For example, the directory representing this instance
of the server is c:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\server2,
and you set the prefix to:
shipping
The resulting recovery plan filename is:
c:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\server2\shipping.19951115.051421
Examples
Task

directory c:\drmtest\prepare\.
- Command:
