Tivoli Storage Manager

TSM Commandline Usage

The TSM command line can be entered either from the web GUI via the 'Command Builder' or by running dsmadmc utility. In both cases, you must provide the TSM credentials.

You will be greeted with a prompt similar to the one below. 

Session established with server CHGI_TSM01: Linux/ppc64

Commands and parameters can be shortened so long as it is not ambiguous. query volume can therefore be shortened to q vol, for example.

To show all tapes in use, their capacity and usage, run query volume. 

tsm: CHGI_TSM01> query volume
Volume Name	Storage Pool Name	Device Class Name	Estimated Capacity	Pct Util	Volume Status
A00091L7	BACKUPTAPE	LTO	127.339 G	98.291	Full

To show tape contents, run query content tapeid. 

tsm: CHGI_TSM01> query content A00091L7

To show all configured backup schedules, run query schedules. 

tsm: CHGI_TSM01> query schedules

To show all partitions that are backed up, run query filespace. 

tsm: CHGI_TSM01> query filespace


Snapshots

Snapshot management is done using the following utilities:

Command Description
mmlssnapshot gpfs0 Lists all snapshots in the gpfs0 device
mmdelsnapshot gpfs0 snapshot_name -j fileset Deletes a snapshot in the gpfs0 device on a particular fileset by name.
mmcrsnapshot gpfs0 snapshot_name -j fileset Create a snapshot in the gpfs0 device for a particular fileset with the provided snapshot name.

In CHGI, these commands are wrapped up in a custom perl script and configured with a configuration file. This script is then invoked daily with a root-user cronjob: {{{1}}}

Where the configuration file defines the fileset and number of snapshots to keep: 

ebg_gmb            3
ebg_web            3
qlong              3
