Objet: Re: [ADSM-L] Moving all containers from one storage to a new one
Hallo Erwann,
you don't miss something.... i was also wondering.. and I'm still very
astonished,that since the release of TSM/ISP 7.1.3 - Sept 2015 the "move
container" command has not been improved with a wildcard functionality.
Like the "select" approach you already suggested:
In my ISP Update Workshop I've included a "select" and a "TSM/ISP script"
exercise which helps to overcome the current "one container move" restriction.
Although you know of course how to do it by yourself, may be that helps a
little bit and may be it is a "trigger" for the TSM/ISP developers to improve
the move container command.
move all container files from one directory to another.
1.) select:
select 'move container ' ,CONTAINER_NAME, ' defrag=no
stgpooldirectory=c:\TARGET_DIR' from CONTAINERS where
upper(STGPOOL_NAME)='YOUR_STORAGEPOOL' and
upper(STGPOOLDIR_NAME)='C:\SOURCE_DIR' > c:\move_container.mac
2.) TSM/ISP Script with variables - just an example...:
del script mc
def script mc desc='Create all Move container commands from one stgpooldir to
another one'
upd script mc '/* --------------------*/'
upd script mc '/* Script Name: MC */'
upd script mc '/* Description: Move all Containers from one */'
upd script mc '/* Author M. Malitz January 2017*/'
upd script mc '/* add defrag=no January 2019*/'
upd script mc '/* */'
upd script mc '/* */'
upd script mc '/* Parameter 1: Source stgpool directory */'
upd script mc '/* Parameter 2: In which storage pool */'
upd script mc '/* Parameter 3: Target stgpool directory */'
upd script mc '/* */'
upd script mc '/* */'
upd script mc '/* */'
upd script mc '/* Example: run mc c:dir1 cont_b2 c:\dir2 > c:\out.mac */'
upd script mc '/* */'
upd script mc '/* Attention - NAME-Parameters are case sensitive */'
upd script mc '/* */'
upd script mc '/* */'
UPD SCRIPT MC 'issue message I "" '
UPD SCRIPT MC 'issue message I "" '
UPD SCRIPT MC 'issue message I "Source Directory is: $1" '
UPD SCRIPT MC 'issue message I "Storage Pool is: $2" '
UPD SCRIPT MC 'issue message I "Target Directory is: $3" '
UPD SCRIPT MC 'issue message I "" '
UPD SCRIPT MC 'issue message I "Pls use only the MOVE CONTAINER lines - MM" '
UPD SCRIPT MC 'issue message I ".. you can also use dsmadmc -dataonly=yes " '
UPD SCRIPT MC 'issue message I "" '
upd script mc "select 'move container '||substr(CONTAINER_NAME,1,35)||- "
upd script mc "' defrag=no stgpooldirectory=$3' from CONTAINERS where -"
upd script mc "STGPOOL_NAME=upper('$2') and -"
upd script mc "STGPOOLDIR_NAME='$1' and state <> 'PENDING' "
