HSM for Windows commands
The HSM for Windows™ client has several commands that you can run from a Command Prompt window. With these commands, you can do most of the tasks that you can do with the GUI.
Table 1 summarizes the HSM commands.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| dsmclc.exe | Use this command to run a migration job from the Command Prompt window. You can also list files and file spaces, and set the level of information that is saved in log, trace, and list files. |
| dsminfo.exe | Use this command to list various settings of your installation. List the version of libraries, actual log level settings, the operating system version, and disk information. |
| dsmfileinfo.exe | Use this command to list attributes of migrated and non-migrated files. |
| dsmfind.exe | Use this command to list files that are eligible by a job file or that correspond to a pattern. |
| dsmhsmclc.exe | Use this command to manage reconciliation and threshold migration. You can also set the level of information that is saved in log, trace, and list files. |
| dsmmove.exe | Use this command to move stub files to another location. If the other location is managed by a different IBM Storage Protect server, the migrated file data is moved to the new IBM Storage Protect server. |
| dsmquota.exe | Use this command to display user and group quotas or to reset the quota recall counter for one or more users. |
| dsmtool.exe | Use this command to display the quantity, size, and expiration period of migrated objects in IBM Storage Protect storage. |
You can complete additional tasks without using the HSM for Windows GUI by manually editing job and configuration files. For more information about using the command line interface, see technote 1381502.
