1  ADDMultiserver

2 ? options

Parameters

ADDMultiserver
Adds one IBM Storage Protect server to the list of servers that can manage the file system.
QUERYMultiserver
Queries the status of the multiple-server environment. The command prints all IBM Storage Protect servers that can manage the specified file system. For each server, the output displays the number of files, number of bytes, and migration throughput.
REMOVEMultiserver
Removes an existing IBM Storage Protect server from the list of servers that can manage the specified file system. That IBM Storage Protect server is no longer a target for migration and backup. The current migration and backup processes are not affected. Removal does not affect the recall or restore of files that are migrated or backed up to the IBM Storage Protect server.

After you remove the IBM Storage Protect server from the list of servers, and before physically removing the server, run the dsmRemoveServer.pl script. The dsmRemoveServer.pl script recalls all files from the IBM Storage Protect server to the local file systems. After you run the dsmRemoveServer.pl script, you can migrate and back up files to another IBM Storage Protect server.

filesystemspec
The file system name. Specify only one file system.
options
–ERRORLOGName=file_path
Specifies the path and file name of the error log file to be used by this command. Output from only this command is logged to the specified file. Other commands and daemons write output to the error log file specified by the errorlogname option in options file dsm.sys or dsm.opt, or as specified by the DSM_LOG environment variable. If any part of the path you specify does not exist, the space management client creates it.
–Logname=file_path
Specifies the path and file name of the log file to be used by this command. The kinds of events that are logged to the file are specified with the hsmlogeventflags option. Error events are not logged to the file.
–SErver=server_name

Specify the target server for the task. This option is valid only in a multiple-server environment, and must be used only with the two-way, orphan-check reconciliation mode.

If a file is coupled with a server, the value of this option must be that coupled server. If you specify another IBM Storage Protect server, the task fails.
