You can specify which files are eligible for migration.
You can use clustered file systems and LAN-free data transfer, start
the Tivoli® Storage
Manager for Space Management client graphical user interface, and set logging options.
Assignment of management classes to files
A management class indicates a storage policy for a file.
The storage policy determines whether a file can be migrated and how
the migrated copy is stored.
Include-exclude file options
You can use an include-exclude options file to exclude
or include specific files from space management and to assign specific
management classes to these files. For example, you might want to
keep certain files, on your local file system always, and thus need
to exclude them from migration. Or, you might also want to include
certain files for backup or migration.
Environment variables
Environment variables determine where Tivoli Storage
Manager clients
create program files.
LAN-free data transfer for HSM
The Tivoli Storage
Manager for Space Management client supports LAN-free data transfer, which shifts the movement
of client data from the communications network to a storage area network
(SAN). Shifting the client data movement from the communications network
to a SAN decreases the load on the Tivoli Storage
Manager server.
HSM for AIX GPFS and Linux x86_64 GPFS clusters
You can configure a space-managed file system to become
a part of a resource group in a General Parallel File System (GPFS™) cluster. If there is a system
failure, you can access your data from another system.
Logs for HSM activity and error messages
The Tivoli Storage
Manager for Space Management client logs
HSM activity and error messages. An HSM log contains information about
file migration and recall, threshold migration, reconciliation, and
starting and stopping the HSM daemon. An error log records error messages.
