dsmreconcileGPFS.pl

The script uses the GPFS policy engine to determine which files are migrated from the specified file system to IBM Spectrum Protect™ server storage. The script starts dsmreconcile with the orphancheck and fileinfo options.

The two-way orphan check processing identifies orphans on the file system and on the IBM Spectrum Protect server. The two-way check is done in a single pass and the orphan identification process uses parallel processing.

If a file system is managed by multiple IBM Spectrum Protect servers, the script determines which files are migrated to each IBM Spectrum Protect server.

The script creates a list of files that are coupled with the IBM Spectrum Protect server. The script then starts the dsmreconcile command:

dsmreconcile file_system_name -servername=server_name -orphancheck -fileinfo 
-filelist=list_file

where listfile contains a list of all files on the specified file system file_system_name that are migrated to the IBM Spectrum Protect server server_name.

The script is valid only for HSM clients. The script is in the /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/hsm/multiserver/bin/ directory.

Parameters

--tmpdir=temp_dir

Specify a directory for temporary files. By default, the dsmreconcileGPFS.pl script creates temporary files in the /tmp directory. The dsmreconcileGPFS.pl script deletes the temporary files when processing is complete. Use two dashes before the tmpdir parameter.

-servername=server_name

Specify the IBM Spectrum Protect server. This option is valid only if the file system is managed by multiple IBM Spectrum Protect servers. All files that are migrated to the specified server from the specified file system are reconciled. Obsolete copies on the server are expired and deleted. If the file system is managed by multiple IBM Spectrum Protect servers, you must specify the servername option.Use a single dash before the servername parameter.

file_system_name

Specify the file system to reconcile. The following tasks are completed for the file system:

• The space management client verifies that valid objects for each local stub file exist in the space management pool of the specified IBM Spectrum Protect server.
• When orphans are identified, their names are recorded in the .SpaceMan/orphan.stubs file.
