In the usage and descriptions for administrative commands, the term characterscorresponds to the number of bytes available to store an item. For languages inwhich it takes a single byte to represent a displayable character, the character tobyte ratio is 1 to 1. However, for DBCS and other multi-byte languages, thereference to characters refers only to the number of bytes available for the item andmay represent fewer actual characters.

New for Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.3

Many features in the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.3 server are new forprevious Tivoli Storage Manager users.

New and changed information in this product documentation is indicated by avertical bar (|) to the left of the change.

Operations Center updatesNew features and other changes are available in Tivoli Storage ManagerOperations Center Version 7.1.3. By using the updated Operations Center userinterface, you can simplify the process of replicating client data, creating storagepools, decommissioning clients, and verifying license compliance.

The following enhancements were made to the Operations Center administrativeinterface:

ReplicationYou can complete the following tasks:v Configure source and target server pairsv Selectively enable and disable replication for one or more clientsv Monitor replication status and view historical trends for the replication

rate and workloadv Manually start replication processing

Storage Pools pageYou can complete the following tasks:v Create storage pools, including container storage pools, which provide

inline data deduplication. Container storage pools store data in filesystem directories or in cloud storage.

v View detailed information about container storage pools. You can viewproperties that are unique to this new pool type and view the storagecapacity that was saved through data deduplication.

Decommission clients and deactivate dataYou can safely withdraw a client from service so that it is removed onlyafter its backup data expires. Decommissioning a client deletes its scheduleassociations and prevents the client from accessing the server. For TivoliStorage Manager for Databases: Data Protection for Oracle applicationclients, you can deactivate backup data that was stored before a specifieddate and time.

Services pageYou can complete the following tasks:v Create management classesv View inactive policy settingsv Edit policy sets and activate changes

License complianceYou can view front-end and back-end capacity usage to estimatecompliance with Tivoli Storage Manager Suite for Unified Recovery licenseentitlements.

Command builderYou can view syntax cues and other command-completion assistance in theOperations Center command-line interface.

REST API accessYou can enable the integration services feature to allow applications thatuse Representational State Transfer (REST) services to query and managethe storage environment by connecting to the Operations Center.

Improvements in Tivoli Storage Manager client management servicesNew features are added to improve the collection of diagnostic informationfrom clients for basic monitoring capability in the Operations Center.

You can complete the following tasks with the Tivoli Storage Managerclient management service:v Verify that a node definition is correctly created with the CmsConfig

verify command.v Add a client node definition with the CmsConfig addnode command.v Add the location of client log files to an existing node definition with

the CmsConfig addlog command.v Specify a configuration path with the CmsConfig discover command to

discover log files that are in non-default locations.v Optionally, create REST applications to initiate client actions such as

reading and updating configuration files, querying the status of theclient acceptor and scheduler, and backing up and restoring data on abackup-archive client.

For more information about these enhancements, see the Operations Center help.

Tivoli Storage Manager server updatesNew features and other changes are available in the Tivoli Storage ManagerVersion 7.1.3 server.

Optimize a storage environment by using inline datadeduplication

With Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.3, you can define a type of storage poolthat provides both inline and client-side data deduplication. You can use the newstorage pool, directory-container, to protect backup and archive data.

The directory-container storage pool provides the following benefits:v Simplified storage managementv Optimized data-deduplication processingv Reduced database growth and sizev Increased server performance and scalabilityv Improved recoverability of damaged extents

xvi IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Linux: Administrator's Reference

Back up data to a cloud computing systemWith Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.3, you can define a new type ofcloud-container storage pool. The cloud-container storage pool protects backup andarchive data that is integrated with data deduplication. You can back up the datato either an IBM SoftLayer or OpenStack Swift cloud computing system.

The cloud-container storage pool provides the following benefits:v Reduced on-premises storage requirements and costv Simplified storage managementv Improved server performancev Use of public, off-premises, or private, on-premises cloud storagev Secure data through server-side encryption

Restriction: Cloud-container storage pools are not supported on Linux on PowerSystems™ and Linux on System z®.

Archive diagnostic messages by using operating system toolsTivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.3 simplifies the process of archiving diagnosticmessages by using operating system tools. To archive diagnostic messages, you donot have to reset the DBDIAGLOGSIZE server option every time that the server isstarted.

In earlier releases, the maximum value of the DBDIAGLOGSIZE server option wasautomatically reset to 1024 each time the server was restarted, and it was notpossible to change this. This setting limited space for diagnostic log files to 1024MB. In this release, you can set the value of the DBDIAGLOGSIZE server option to 0.If you specify a value of 0, only one log file is used for all diagnostic messages. Nolimits are imposed on the size of the log file. In this way, you can archivediagnostic messages without having to reset the DBDIAGLOGSIZE value and interruptsystem operations.Related reference:“DBDIAGLOGSIZE” on page 1587

Start the server in maintenance modeWith Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.3, maintenance mode is the preferredmethod for starting the server before you begin maintenance or reconfigurationtasks. When you start the server in maintenance mode, operations that mightdisrupt maintenance or reconfiguration tasks are automatically disabled.

Start the server in maintenance mode by running the DSMSERV utility with theMAINTENANCE parameter.Related reference:“DSMSERV (Start the server)” on page 1684

New for Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.3 xvii

Decommission a client nodeWith Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.3, you can remove a client node from theproduction environment in a systematic way.

When you start the decommission process, the server locks the client node toprevent it from accessing the server. Files that belong to the client node aregradually deleted, and then the client node is deleted.Related reference:“DECOMMISSION NODE (Decommission an application or system)” on page 127“DECOMMISSION VM (Decommission a virtual machine)” on page 130

Deactivate data to free server storage spaceTivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.3 simplifies the process of deleting activebackup data that you no longer require. You can deactivate the data to ensure thatthe file will be deleted by the inventory expiration process. In this way, you canfree storage space on the Tivoli Storage Manager server.

The deactivation feature applies only to application clients that protect Oracledatabases.Related reference:“DEACTIVATE DATA (Deactivate data for a client node)” on page 123

Narrow the search results when you query sessionsWith Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.3, you can narrow the search results of theQUERY SESSION command to obtain query output for specific clients. For example, ifa Tivoli Storage Manager solution includes hundreds of clients, you can run theQUERY SESSION command with the CLIENTNAME parameter to obtain sessioninformation for a specified client or group of clients.

In addition, you can use the TYPE parameter on the QUERY SESSION command tonarrow the search based on session type. You can set the TYPE parameter to displayinformation about administrative sessions, server-to-server sessions, or clientsessions.Related reference:“QUERY SESSION (Query client sessions)” on page 977

Specify an action for all client nodesWith Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.3, you can use the DEFINE CLIENTACTIONcommand to schedule one or more clients to process a command for a one-timeaction.Related reference:“DEFINE CLIENTACTION (Define a one-time client action)” on page 143

xviii IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Linux: Administrator's Reference

Monitor events by using operating system toolsIf you install Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.3 on a Linux operating system,you can configure the server to send event messages to the system error log. Inthis way, you can monitor events by using operating system tools.

xx IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Linux: Administrator's Reference

Chapter 1. Managing the server from the command line

Tivoli Storage Manager provides several different command-line interfaces formanaging Tivoli Storage Manager servers.

About this task

The following command-line interfaces are available:

Administrative command-line clientThe administrative command-line client is a program that runs on a fileserver, workstation, or mainframe. It is installed as part of the TivoliStorage Manager server installation process. The administrative client canbe accessed remotely.

From the administrative client, you can issue any server commands.

Server consoleThe server console is a command-line window on the system where theserver is installed. Therefore, to use the server console, you must be at thephysical location of the server system.

Compared to the administrative client, the capabilities of the server consoleare limited. From the server console, you cannot issue certain commands,and you cannot route commands to other servers. Also, you cannot specifythat certain commands process before other commands can be issued.However, this limitation can be useful if, for example, you want to run twocommands in quick succession.

Operations Center command lineFrom the Operations Center, you can access the Tivoli Storage Managercommand line. You might want to use this command line to issue servercommands to complete certain Tivoli Storage Manager tasks that are notsupported in the Operations Center.

Server scripts provide for automation of common administrative tasks. A macro isa file that contains one or more Tivoli Storage Manager administrative commands.When you issue the MACRO command, the server processes all commands in themacro file in order, including commands that are contained in any nested macros.

Issuing commands from the administrative clientThe administrative command-line client is a program that runs on a file server,workstation, or mainframe.

About this task

Ensure that your administrative client and your server are running in compatiblelanguages. See “LANGUAGE” on page 1613 for language and locale options. Ifyour client and server are using different languages, the messages that TivoliStorage Manager generates might not be understandable.

© Copyright IBM Corp. 1993, 2015 1

Note: Text strings that are sent from the client to the server do not depend on theserver language setting. The text will be displayed properly if the administrativeclient runs in the same locale when sending the string and when receiving thestring.

For example, assume that you update a node contact field with a value thatcontains national characters (update node myNode contact=NLcontact_info), andlater query the node (query node myNode format=detailed). If the client is runningin the same locale when you update as when you query, the NLcontact_info willdisplay properly. If you update the node contact field when the client is running inone locale, and query the node when the client is running in a different locale, it ispossible that the NLcontact_info will not display properly.

Starting and stopping the administrative clientUse the DSMADMC command to start an administrative client session.

About this task

The Tivoli Storage Manager server must be running before an administrative clientcan connect.

Procedurev To start an administrative client session in command-line mode, enter this

command on your workstation:dsmadmc -id=admin -password=admin -dataonly=yes

By entering the DSMADMC command with the -ID and -PASSWORD options asshown, you are not prompted for a user ID and password.

v To stop an administrative command-line client session, enter the followingcommand:quit

v To interrupt a DSMADMC command before the Tivoli Storage Manager serverfinishes processing it, use the UNIX kill -9 command from an availablecommand line. Do not press Ctrl+C because, while it ends the session, it canlead to unexpected results.

Monitoring server activities from the administrative clientTo monitor Tivoli Storage Manager activities, such as server migration and clientlogons, run the administrative client in console mode. You cannot enter anyadministrative commands in console mode.

Procedurev To start an administrative client session in console mode, enter the following

command:dsmadmc -consolemode

You are prompted for a password if authentication is turned on for the server. Ifyou do not want to be prompted for your user ID and password, enter theDSMADMC command with the -ID and -PASSWORD options.

v To end an administrative client session in console mode, use a keyboard breaksequence.

Operating system Break sequence

UNIX and Linux clients Ctrl+C

2 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Linux: Administrator's Reference


Windows clients Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Break

Monitoring removable-media mounts from the administrativeclient

To monitor the mounting and dismounting of removable media, run theadministrative client in mount mode. When the client is running in mount mode,you cannot enter any administrative commands.

Procedurev To start an administrative client session in mount mode, enter the following

command:dsmadmc -mountmode

You are prompted for a password if authentication is turned on for the server. Ifyou do not want to be prompted for your user ID and password, enter theDSMADMC command with the -ID and -PASSWORD options.

v To end an administrative client session in mount mode, use a keyboard breaksequence.


UNIX and Linux clients Ctrl+C

Windows clients Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Break

Processing individual commands from the administrativeclient

Use batch mode to enter a single administrative command. Your administrativeclient session automatically ends when the command is processed.

About this task

To start an administrative client session in batch mode, enter:dsmadmc server_command

If you do not want to be prompted for your user ID and password, you can enterthe DSMADMC command with the -ID and -PASSWORD options.

In batch mode, you must enter the complete command on one line. If a commanddoes not fit on one line, enter the command by using a macro or a script. If youspecify a parameter with a string of text using batch mode, enclose the text insingle quotation marks (' ') in the macro. Do not use double quotation marks forcommands in batch mode, because your operating system might not parse thequotation marks correctly.

Chapter 1. Managing the server from the command line 3

Processing a series of commands from the administrativeclient

Use the interactive mode to process a series of administrative commands.

About this task

To start an administrative client session in interactive mode, a server session mustbe available. To ensure the availability of server sessions for both administrativeand client node sessions, the interactive mode of the administrative client isdisconnected if one or more of the following conditions is true:v The server was stopped using the HALT command.v Commands were not issued from the administrative client session for the length

of time specified with the IDLETIMEOUT server option.v The administrative client session was canceled with the CANCEL SESSION

command.

You can use continuation characters when using interactive mode. For moreinformation, see “Using continuation characters to enter long commands” on page13.

To start an administrative session in interactive mode, enter:dsmadmc

Do not enter a server command with the DSMADMC command. Doing so willstart the administrative client in batch, not interactive, mode. For example, do notenter:dsmadmc server_command

You can automatically restart your administrative client session by enteringanother command each time the tsm: servername > prompt appears.

Formatting output from commandsTivoli Storage Manager formats the output processed from commands according toyour screen or window width.

About this task

If the width of your screen or window is not wide enough to display the outputhorizontally, Tivoli Storage Manager arranges and displays the informationvertically.

You can format the output of QUERY commands using the DISPLAYMODE andOUTFILE administrative client options.


Saving command output to a specified locationThe most common use for redirecting output is to save the output from querycommands to a specified file or program. You can then browse the contents of thefile or, in some cases, print the contents.

About this task

Some platforms support redirection of output using special characters such as >,>>, and |. You can save the output from a command by entering redirectioncharacters at the end of the command. Redirection characters direct the output of acommand to a file or program you specify instead of to your screen. To redirectoutput, leave a blank between the redirection character and the file or programname. See the following examples.

Note: When redirecting output, follow the naming conventions of the operatingsystem running your administrative client.

If you want to: Enter this:

Redirect the output of aQUERY DOMAIN commandto a new file in batch orinteractive mode

dsmadmc -id=xxx -pa=xxx query domain acctg > dominfo.acc

A single greater-than sign (>) indicates that Tivoli StorageManager redirects the output to a new file or writes over anexisting file.

Append the output of aQUERY DOMAIN commandto the end of an existingfile in batch orinteractive mode

dsmadmc -id=xxx -pa=xxx query domain acctg >> dominfo.acc

Double greater-than signs (>>) indicates that Tivoli StorageManager appends the output to the end of an existing file.

Redirect all output froman administrative clientsession in console modeto a program calledfilter.exe

dsmadmc -console -id=admin -password=xxx | filter.exe

The program can be set up to monitor the output for individualmessages as they occur and take appropriate action, such assending mail to another user.

You can also redirect all output to a specified file by specifying the -OUTFILEoption with a destination file name. For example, enter:dsmadmc -id=sullivan -password=secret -consolemode -outfile=save.out

Administrative client optionsIn all administrative client modes, you can use options to modify administrativeclient session responses.

DSMADMC

►► DSMADMC ▼

admin_client_option server_command►◄

Here is an example of a task and how to use the administrative client options: Youcan enter the DSMADMC command with your user ID and password by using the -IDand -PASSWORD options so that you are not prompted for that information. To haveTivoli Storage Manager redirect all output to a file, specify the -OUTFILE option


with a destination file name. For example, to issue the QUERY NODE command inbatch mode with the output redirected to the SAVE.OUT file, enter:dsmadmc -id=sullivan -password=secret -outfile=save.out query node

Options

Administrative client options can be specified with the DSMADMC command and arevalid from an administrative client session only. You can type an option inuppercase letters, lowercase letters, or any combination. Uppercase letters denotethe shortest acceptable abbreviation. If an option appears entirely in uppercaseletters, you cannot abbreviate it.

-ALWAYSPromptSpecifies that a command prompt is displayed if the input is from thekeyboard or if it is redirected (for example, from a file). If this option is notspecified and the input is redirected, the command prompt is not written.

If the input is redirected, only the command output is displayed. If this optionis specified, the command prompt and the command output are displayed.

-CHECKAliashaltAllows the administrative client to recognize an alias for the HALT command asset in the ALIASHALT server option. See “ALIASHALT” on page 1571 fordetails.

-COMMAdelimitedSpecifies that any tabular output from a server query is to be formatted ascomma-separated strings rather than in readable format. This option isintended to be used primarily when redirecting the output of an SQL query(SELECT command). The comma-separated value format is a standard dataformat, which can be processed by many common programs, includingspreadsheets, databases, and report generators.

-CONsolemodeSpecifies that Tivoli Storage Manager runs in console mode. Most serverconsole output is echoed to your screen. The exception are items such asresponses to query commands that are issued from the console, trace output,or any system messages that displayed on the console.

-DATAONLY=NO or YESSpecifies whether product version information and output headers displaywith the output. The default is NO.

NO Specifies that the product version information and output column headersdisplay.

YESSuppresses the product version information and output column headers.

-DISPLaymode=LISt or TABleYou can force the QUERY output to tabular or list format regardless of thecommand-line window column width.

If you are using the -DISPLAYMODE option and you want the output to go to afile, do not specify the -OUTFILE option. Use redirection to write to the file.

-ID=useridSpecifies the administrator's user ID.

-ItemcommitSpecifies that Tivoli Storage Manager commits commands inside a script or amacro as each command is processed.


-MOUNTmodeSpecifies that Tivoli Storage Manager runs in mount mode. All serverremovable-media mount messages are echoed to your screen.

-NEWLINEAFTERPromptSpecifies that a newline character is written after the command prompt andcommands that are entered from the keyboard are displayed underneath theprompt. If this option is not specified, commands entered from the keyboardare displayed to the right side of the prompt.

-NOConfirmSpecifies that you do not want Tivoli Storage Manager to request confirmationbefore processing commands that affect the availability of the server or datathat is managed by the server.

-OUTfileSpecifies that output from a server query is displayed in one row. If the outputin a row exceeds the column width that is defined by the server, the output isdisplayed on multiple lines in that row. This option is available in batch modeonly.

-OUTfile=filenameSpecifies that output from a server query is redirected to a specified file. Inbatch mode, output is redirected to a file you specify and the format of theoutput matches the format of the output on your screen.

In interactive, console, or mount mode sessions, output displays on yourscreen.

-PAssword=passwordSpecifies the administrator's password.

-QuietSpecifies that Tivoli Storage Manager does not display standard outputmessages to your screen. However, when you use this option, certain errormessages still appear.

-SErveraddressSpecifies the server stanza in the dsm.sys file. The client uses the server stanzato determine the server it connects to. The SERVERADDRESS option is supportedby administrative clients that are running on UNIX, Linux, and Macintoshoperating systems only.

-TABdelimitedSpecifies that any tabular output from a server query is to be formatted astab-separated strings rather than in readable format. This option is intended tobe used primarily when redirecting the output of an SQL query (SELECTcommand). The tab-separated value format is a standard data format, whichcan be processed by many common programs, including spreadsheets,databases, and report generators.

-TCPPortSpecifies a TCP/IP port address for a Tivoli Storage Manager server. TheTCPPORT option is only supported by administrative clients that are running onWindows operating systems and is valid on the Windows administrative clientcommand line.

-TCPServeraddressSpecifies a TCP/IP server address for a Tivoli Storage Manager server. The


TCPSERVERADDRESS option is only supported by administrative clients that arerunning on Windows operating systems and is valid on the Windowsadministrative client command line.

In addition to the options that are listed here, you can also specify any option thatis in the client options file. Each option must be preceded with a hyphen anddelimited with a space.

Issuing commands from the Operations CenterFrom the Operations Center command-line interface, you can issue commands tomanage Tivoli Storage Manager servers that are configured as hub or spokeservers.

Procedure

To open the command-line interface, hover over the globe icon

in theOperations Center menu bar, and click Command Builder.

Issuing commands from the server consoleTivoli Storage Manager provides a user ID named SERVER_CONSOLE that allowsyou to issue commands and administer the server from the server console afterTivoli Storage Manager is installed. At installation, SERVER_CONSOLE isautomatically registered as an administrator and is given system authority.

About this task

If you have system privilege, you can revoke or grant new privileges to theSERVER_CONSOLE user ID. You cannot take any of the following actions:v Register or update the SERVER_CONSOLE user IDv Lock or unlock the SERVER_CONSOLE user IDv Rename the SERVER_CONSOLE user IDv Remove SERVER_CONSOLE user IDv Route commands from the SERVER_CONSOLE user ID

Not all Tivoli Storage Manager commands are supported by the server console.You cannot specify the WAIT parameter from the server console.

Entering administrative commandsCommands consist of command names and usually parameters and variables.Syntax diagrams depict the rules to follow when entering commands.

About this task

To display command-line help for server commands that have unique names, youcan type help commandName, where commandName is the name of the servercommand for which you want information. For example, to display help for theREGISTER NODE command, type help register node. Command syntax andparameter descriptions are displayed in the output.

You can also type help followed by the topic number for the command. Topicnumbers are listed in the table of contents for command-line help, for example:


3.0 Administrative commands3.46 REGISTER

3.46.1 REGISTER ADMIN (Register an administrator)3.46.2 REGISTER LICENSE (Register a new license)3.46.3 REGISTER NODE (Register a node)

To display help about the REGISTER NODE command, type:help 3.46.3

Use topic numbers to display command-line help for subcommands. DEFINEDEVCLASS is an example of a command that has subcommands. For example, youcan specify the DEFINE DEVCLASS command for 3590 device classes and for 3592device classes:3.0 Administrative commands

...3.13.10 DEFINE DEVCLASS (Define a device class)

3.13.10.1 DEFINE DEVCLASS (Define a 3590 device class)3.13.10.2 DEFINE DEVCLASS (Define a 3592 device class)...

To display help for the DEFINE DEVCLASS command for 3590 device classes, type:help 3.13.10.1

Reading syntax diagramsTo read a syntax diagram for entering a command, follow the path of the line.Read from left to right and from top to bottom.v The ►►─── symbol indicates the beginning of a syntax diagram.v The ───► symbol at the end of a line indicates that the syntax diagram continues

onto the next line.v The ►─── symbol at the beginning of a line indicates that a syntax diagram

continues from the previous line.v The ───►◄ symbol indicates the end of a syntax diagram.

Command names

The command name can consist of a single action word, such as HALT, or it canconsist of an action word and an object for the action, such as DEFINE DOMAIN.You can enter the command in any column of the input line.

Enter the entire command name or the abbreviation that is specified in the syntaxdiagram for the command. Uppercase letters denote the shortest acceptableabbreviation. If a command appears entirely in uppercase letters, you cannotabbreviate it. You can enter the command in uppercase letters, lowercase letters, orany combination. In this example, you can enter CMDNA, CMDNAM, orCMDNAME in any combination of uppercase and lowercase letters.

►► CMDNAme ►◄

Note: Command names in descriptive text are always capitalized.


Required parameters

When a parameter is on the same line as the command name, the parameter isrequired. When two or more parameter values are in a stack and one of them is onthe line, you must specify one value.

In this example, you must enter PARMNAME=A, PARMNAME=B, orPARMNAME=C. Do not include any blanks immediately before or after the equalsign (=).

►► PARMName = ABC

►◄

Optional parameters

When a parameter is below the line, the parameter is optional. In this example,you can enter PARMNAME=A or nothing at all. Do not include any blanksimmediately before or after the equal sign (=).

►►PARMName = A

►◄

When two or more parameter values are in a stack below the line, all of them areoptional. In this example, you can enter PARMNAME=A, PARMNAME=B,PARMNAME=C, or nothing at all. Do not include any blanks immediately beforeor after the equal sign (=).

►►PARMNAme = A

Entering parameters

The order in which you enter parameters can be important. The following exampleshows a portion of the command for defining a copy storage pool:

►► DEFine STGpool pool_name device_class_name POoltype = COpy ►

►DESCription = description

REClaim = 100

REClaim = percent►◄

The first two parameters in this command (pool_name and device_class_name arerequired parameters. pool_name and device_class_name are also positional. That is,they must be entered in the order shown, immediately after the command name.The POOLTYPE parameter is a required keyword parameter. DESCRIPTION andRECLAIM, are optional keyword parameters. Keyword parameters are identified byan equal sign that specifies a specific value or a variable. Keyword parametersmust follow any positional parameters in a command.

The following command entries, in which the keyword parameters are ordereddifferently, are both acceptable:define stgpool mycopypool mydeviceclass pooltype=copy description=engineering

reclaim=50define stgpool mycopypool mydeviceclass description=engineering pooltype=copy

reclaim=50

The following example, in which one of the positional parameters follows akeyword parameter, is not acceptable:define stgpool mycopypool pooltype=copy mydeviceclass description=engineering

reclaim=50

Syntax fragments

Some diagrams, because of their length, must display parts of the syntax withfragments. The fragment name appears between vertical bars in the diagram.

The expanded fragment appears in the diagram after all other parameters or at thebottom of the diagram. A heading with the fragment name identifies the expandedfragment. Commands appearing directly on the line are required.

In this example, the fragment is named “Fragment”.

Using continuation characters to enter long commandsContinuation characters are useful when you want to process a command that islonger than your screen or window width. You can use continuation characters inthe interactive mode of the administrative client.

About this task

Without continuation characters, you can enter up to 256 characters. Withcontinuation characters, you can enter up to 1500 characters.

Note: In the MACRO command, the maximums apply after any substitution variableshave been applied.

With continuation characters, you can do the following:v Enter a dash at the end of the line you want to continue.

For example:register admin pease mypasswd -contact="david, ext1234"

v Continue a list of values by entering a dash or a back slash, with no precedingblank spaces, after the last comma of the list that you enter on the first line.Then, enter the remaining items in the list on the next line with no precedingblank spaces. For example:stgpools=stg1,stg2,stg3,-stg4,stg5,stg6

v Continue a string of values that are enclosed in quotation marks by entering thefirst part of the string that is enclosed in quotation marks, followed by a dash ora back slash at the end of the line. Then, enter the remainder of the string on thenext line, enclosed in the same type of quotation marks.For example:contact="david pease, bldg. 100, room 2b, san jose,"-"ext. 1234, alternate contact-norm pass,ext 2345"

Tivoli Storage Manager concatenates the two strings with no intervening blanks.You must use only this method to continue a quoted string of values acrossmore than one line.

Naming Tivoli Storage Manager objectsIBM Tivoli Storage Manager restricts the number and type of characters that youcan use to name objects.

About this task

The following characters are available for defining object names.

Character Description

A–Z Any letter, A through Z

0–9 Any number, 0 through 9

_ Underscore

. Period

- Hyphen

+ Plus

& Ampersand


The following table shows the maximum length of characters permitted for namingobjects.

Type of Name Maximum Length

Administrators, client option sets, client nodes,passwords, server groups, server, names, virtual filespace names

64

Restartable export identifiers 64

High-level and low-level TCP/IP (IPv4 or IPv6)addresses

64

Device classes, drives, libraries, management classes,policy domains, profiles, schedules scripts, backupsets, storage pools

30

The following characters are available for defining password names:a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y zA B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * _ - + = ` | ( ) { } [ ] : ; < > , . ? /

Passwords considered “LOCAL” are those passwords that authenticate with theTivoli Storage Manager server and are not case-sensitive. Passwords considered“LDAP” are those passwords that authenticate with an LDAP directory server andare case-sensitive.

When you use DEFINE commands to define database, recovery log, and storagepool volumes, the naming convention for the volume name is dependent on thetype of sequential access media or random access media that you are using. Referto the specific VOLUME command for details.

Using wildcard characters to specify object namesIn some commands, such as the query commands, you can use wildcard charactersto create a pattern-matching expression that specifies more than one object. Usingwildcard characters makes it easier to tailor a command to your needs.

About this task

The wildcard characters you use depend on the operating system from which youissue commands. For example, you can use wildcard characters such as an asterisk(*) to match any (0 or more) characters, or you can use a question mark (?) or apercent sign (%) to match exactly one character.

Table 1 provides references to wildcard characters for some operating systems. Usewildcard characters appropriate for your system.

Table 1. Wildcard characters by operating system

Operating system Match any Match exactly one

AIX®, HP-UX, Linux, OS/2, OracleSolaris, Windows

* ?

TSO * %


For example, if you want to query all the management classes whose names beginwith DEV in all the policy sets in DOMAIN1, and your system uses an asterisk asthe match-any character, you can enter:query mgmtclass domain1 * dev*

If your system uses a question mark as the match-exactly-one character, and youwant to query the management classes in POLICYSET1 in DOMAIN1, you canenter:query mgmtclass domain1 policyset1 mc?

Tivoli Storage Manager displays information about management classes withnames MC.

Table 2 shows additional examples of using wildcard characters to match anycharacters.

Table 2. Match-any character

Pattern Matches Does not match

ab* ab, abb, abxxx a, b, aa, bb

ab*rs abrs, abtrs, abrsrs ars, aabrs, abrss

ab*ef*rs abefrs, abefghrs abefr, abers

Table 3 shows additional examples of using wildcard characters to match exactlyone character. The question mark (?) can be replaced by a percent sign (%) if yourplatform uses that character instead of (?).

Table 3. Match-exactly-one character

Pattern Matches Does not match

ab? abc ab, abab, abzzzz

ab?rs abfrs abrs, abllrs

ab?ef?rs abdefjrs abefrs, abdefrs, abefjrs

ab??rs abcdrs, abzzrs abrs, abjrs, abkkkrs

Specifying descriptions in keyword parametersIf a description (a string of text) for a parameter begins with a single or doublequotation mark, or contains any embedded blanks or equal signs, you mustsurround the value with either single (') or double (") quotation marks.

About this task

The opening and closing quotation marks must be the same type of quotationmarks. For example, if the opening quotation is a single quotation mark, theclosing quotation mark must also be a single quotation mark.

For example, to register a new client node named Louie, with a password of secret,and with his title included as contact information, enter:register node louie secret contact="manager of dept. 61f"

The following table presents ways of entering a description for the CONTACTparameter. The value can contain quotation marks, embedded blanks, or equalsigns.


For this description Enter this

manager contact=manager

manager's contact="manager's" or contact='manager"s'

"manager" contact='"manager"' or contact="""manager"""

manager's report contact="manager's report" or contact='manager''sreport'

manager's "report" contact='manager''s "report"'

manager=dept. 61f contact='manager=dept. 61f'

manager reports to dept. 61f contact='manager reports to dept. 61f' orcontact="manager reports to dept. 61f"

Controlling command processingYou can run some Tivoli Storage Manager commands sequentially or concurrentlywith other commands. You can also route commands from one server to otherservers for processing.

About this task

Server command processingTivoli Storage Manager processes administrator commands either in the foregroundor in the background. Commands that process in the foreground must completebefore you can issue another command. When commands are processing in thebackground, you can issue additional commands at any time.

Most Tivoli Storage Manager commands process in the foreground. For somecommands that normally process in the background (for example, BACKUP DB),you can specify the WAIT parameter (WAIT=YES) with the command so that thecommand processes in the foreground. You might want to process a command inthe foreground rather than in the background for any of the following reasons:v To quickly determine whether a command completed successfully. When you

issue a comma
