restart

scanplan

Displays information about the next scan time, include the remaining time until the next scan, for one or more file systems. If the results of this command do not show the status of space-managed file systems, the dsmscoutd daemon lost its communication paths. Communications paths can be lost because of unexpected file system issues such as unmounting a file system. Use the dsmscoutd restart command to recover the communication paths for the daemon.

filesystemspec

The file system name. You can specify more than one file system name, and you can use wildcard characters within a file system name. If you specify more than one file system name, separate each name with one or more blank spaces.

scannow

statistics

Provides statistics about the current (if there is one) and last scan of the 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.
