Removing a directory from a FILE device class configuration

Troubleshooting


Problem

A FILE device class may be defined with multiple directories to store the FILE volumes. This document describes what to do when one specific directory needs to be removed.

Resolving The Problem

The UPDATE DEVCLASS command needs to be run, specifying the required directories, omitting the one to be removed. For example, assuming the following FILECLASS device class is configured with the following directories :

tsm: MYTSM>q dev fileclass f=d
Device Class Name: FILECLASS
Device Access Strategy: Sequential
...
Directory: C:\SERVER1,D:\SERVER1,E:\SERVER1

To remove the C:\SERVER1 directory from the device class definition, you need to run the following command excluding the directory :

update devclass fileclass dir="d:\server1,e:\server1"
