For example, to migrate the pool named PoolA on the VTS1 server to the /tape/opt1 file and
erase the selected files from VTS, issue the following command:
VTSPolicy TSM 'archive /VAULT01/PoolA s=VTS1 o=/tape/opt1 erase=YES'
Here are example commands for the other backup type:
VTSPolicy TSM 'selective /VAULT01/PoolA/ s=VTS1 o=/tape/opt1 erase=YES'
To configure the VTSPolicy command for EMC Legato Networker
Here is the syntax of the VTSPolicy command for use with EMC Legato Networker. Note that
all parameters specified for the command are case-sensitive.
VTSPolicy LEG '/VAULTxx/pool/cartridge... [keyword=value ...]'
where
/VAULTxx/pool/cartridge...
Specifies the pool and virtual tapes you wish migrated to Legato. You can list up to 10
cartridges per command.
keyword=value
Specifies a valid combination of keywords and their values. Supported keywords
include the following:
source or s
Specifies the fully-qualified hostname of the VTS system on which the
specified pool resides. In a VTS cluster, this keyword specifies the VTS server
that will execute the command. This keyword is required in a VTS cluster.
erase Enables VTS to erase the virtual tape after migration is completed
successfully. Set this keyword to YES or NO. This keyword is not required
and defaults to NO.
For example, to migrate the LG0003 virtual tape in a pool named LegatoPool on the VTS1
server and erase the selected files from VTS, issue the following command:
VTSPolicy LEG 'VAULT00/LEGATOPOOL/LG0003 VTD006 s=VTS1 erase=YES'
Contact your Legato administrator to determine the retention on the file level of the VTS.
