Target sets

Some actions require a destination to complete, and a target set represents a mapping for each data server of the wanted target volume. To copy files, the data server must know where to copy the file to. Each data server must be configured with a list of target volumes, such as retention and discovery export volumes. Target sets are managed in IBM® StoredIQ® Administrator.

Target Set Example
Data Server 1 has three retention volumes: Volume A, Volume B, and Volume C.
Data Server 2 has two retention volumes: Volume B, Volume X, and Volume Z.
Data Server 3 has two retention volumes: Volume B and Volume Z.
Resulting Copy Action: You would like to create a target set for a copy action
Data Server 1 copies to Volume A.
Data Server 2 copies to Volume X.
Data Server 3 copies to Volume B.

Another user might want to create a target set for a copy action where Data Server 1, Data Server 2, and Data Server 3 copies to Volume B.

The Target Sets pane lists all available target sets and provides the following information:
  • The name of the target set.
  • The type of the target set, namely Primary, Retention, or Export.
  • The target set's source type: Box, CIFS, CMIS, Documentum, FileNet, HDFS, IBM Content Manager, NFS, OneDrive, or SharePoint.
  • The number of volumes in that target set.
  • The date and time that the target set was last modified.
  • The description of the target set.
Select a target set to edit, clone, or delete it.

To search the list of target sets for a specific set, either enter the complete target set name in the search field or enter a partial string in this field to filter the list of target sets.
