IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Extended Edition, Version 7.1

Managing data movers used in NDMP operations

You can update, query, and delete the data movers that you define for NAS (network attached storage) file servers.

About this task

For example, if you shut down a NAS file server for maintenance, you might want to take the data mover offline.

Procedure

  1. Query your data movers to identify the data mover for the NAS file server that you want to maintain.
    query datamover nasnode1
  2. Issue the following command to make the data mover offline:
    update datamover nasnode1 online=no
    To delete the data mover, you must first delete any path definitions in which the data mover has been used as the source.
  3. Issue the following command to delete the data mover:
    delete datamover nasnode1
    Attention: If the data mover has a path to the library, and you delete the data mover or make the data mover offline, you disable access to the library.
