This utility enables you to automatically organize clients by the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager policy domain(s) to which they belong. The utility automatically creates host groups for each policy domain and links clients that are members of these Policy domain(s) to the host group(s) accordingly.

Example: exec tsm_common_pkg.TSMsetupClientsByPolicyDomain(‘/Global’, NULL);

Where:

source_host_group is the full pathname to the server group hierarchy to traverse for clients, for example /Aptare/hostgroup1. The default value for this parameter is NULL (which should not be within quotes). If set to NULL, the utility automatically locates the highest level host group to traverse.

destination_host_group is the full pathname to the host group under which the new groups by policy domain name will be automatically created. The default value for this parameter is NULL (which should not be within quotes). If set to NULL the utility automatically creates a host group called Policy Domains within source_host_group.

 

If a client is removed from a IBM Tivoli Storage Manager policy domain, added to a new policy domain and the utility is subsequently run again, the client will appear in the new policy group but will not be deleted from the old policy group. To remove the client from the old policy group and completely re-synchronize the grouping structure, simply delete the Policy domain grouping hierarchy via the deleteEntireGroupContents utility, and then run the TSMsetupClientsByPolicyDomain utility again.

This utility enables you to automatically organize clients by the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager instance to which they belong. The utility automatically create host groups for each instance, then links clients that are members of the instance into the host group(s) accordingly.

Example: exec tsm_common_pkg.TSMsetupClientsByInstance(‘/Global’, NULL, 1);

Where

source_host_group is the full pathname to the host group hierarchy to traverse for clients, for example /Aptare/hostgroup1. The default value for this parameter is NULL (which should not be within quotes). If set to NULL, the utility automatically locates the highest level host group to traverse.

destination_host_group is the full pathname to the host group under which new groups by instance name will be automatically created. The default value for this parameter is NULL (which should not be within quotes). If set to NULL the utility automatically creates a host group called IBM Tivoli Storage Manager instances within source_host_group.

move_or_copy_flag can be set to 0=Link (copy) clients or 1=Move clients. If set to 0, the utility links the clients to their respective host groups and keeps the clients in their original host group location. If set to 1, the utility moves all clients from the source host group and to their respective host groups.
