[. . . ] If the Collection is an iFolder, all files and directories in the iFolder will be backed up or restored along with the Simias data in the Collection store. /myOwner. 12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789abc/myCollection. 223456781234-1234-1234-123456789abc/myFile Back up or restore the file named myFile in the root directory of the iFolder along with its Simias data from the Collection store. /myOwner. 12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789abc/myCollection. 223456781234-1234-1234-123456789abc/mySubdir Back up or restore the subdirectory named mySubdir in the root directory of the iFolder along with its Simias data from the Collection store, and recursively backup or restore each file and subdirectory in mySubdir along with its respective Simias data. 7. 6. 5 SMSConfig Options The TSAIF command is not a standalone shell command; it is exercised using smsconfig. All configuration options are managed via smsconfig. The TSAIF can be configured during registration and the configuration persists until TSAIF is unloaded. All long options (options that have the format --optionname) are case insensitive. Option Command --help --ReadBufferSize Displays the options supported by the TSA. This is the amount of data (Bytes) read from the Simias store and/or file system by a single read operation. This switch is based on the buffer sizes used by the applications. For example, if the application requests 32 KB of data for each read operation, set the buffer size to 32 KB to allow the TSA to service the application better. This value works well with Simias store and/or file system reads if set in multiples of 512 Bytes. This enables the TSA to read data ahead of the application request during backup. This switch is based on the number of processors in the system. This switch can also be used to influence the disk activity based on system configuration. The default value is 4. --ReadThreadsPerJob Managing an iFolder Enterprise Server 73 novdocx (ENU) 01 February 2006 Option Command --ReadThreadAllocation This sets the maximum number of read threads that process a data set at a given time. This determines the percentage of ReadThreadsPerJob that should be allocated to a data set before proceeding to cache another data set. This enables the TSA to store a cache of data sets in a non sequential manner. This sets all read threads to completely process a data set before proceeding to another data set. This sets the maximum number of data sets that the TSA caches simultaneously. This prevents the TSA from caching parts of data sets and enables complete caching of data sets instead. Use this switch along with the ReadThreadAllocation switch. that the TSA can utilize to store cached data sets. This represents a maximum percentage value of available server memory that the TSA uses to store cached data sets. The default value is 10% of the total server memory. --ReadAheadThrottle --CacheMemoryThreshold This is used to specify the percentage of available server memory 7. 6. 6 TSAIF and SMSConfig Examples The following examples show how to perform typical TSAIF configuration for SMS. smsconfig -l tsaif --help Displays the options supported by the TSAIF. smsconfig -l tsaif --readthreadsperjob=8 Sets the number of read threads that the TSAIF starts per job to 8. smsconfig -l tsaif --readbuffersize=32768 --cachememorythreshold=15 Sets the read buffer size to 32KB and the maximum amount of cache memory that the TSAIF should use to 15%. 7. 6. 7 NBackup Options TSAIF supports the following typical nbackup(1) options: Option Command --exclude-file=pattern Excludes all files matching the name (owner, folder, or file) or pattern for back up or restore. Use this option multiple times to exclude more than one pattern. [. . . ] It also does not support OES NetWare.
