dsmNextServername.pl

Edit online

Use the dsmNextServername.pl script to choose the IBM Storage® Protect server to manage a file. This script is used for automatic migrations.

If a file is selected for migration and is not coupled with any IBM Storage Protect server, this script provides a server name. When the file is migrated, it becomes coupled with the IBM Storage Protect server.

The script contains settings that are used to choose one IBM Storage Protect server from the list of eligible servers. The script is included with the HSM client and by default uses a round-robin method for choosing servers. You can modify the script to suit your environment. For example, assume that the default server is coupled with many files. When you add a new server, you can exclude the default server until the file management becomes balanced between the new server and the default server. The script is invoked by the GPFS™ policy engine.

The script is valid only for HSM IBM® Storage Scale clients. The script is located in the /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/hsm/multiserver/samples/ folder.
