Allocate volume data

Procedure Access the volume allocation rules XML template file by running the move_volume_files utility with the -outrulesfile argument set to the desired name of the new XML template. For example, the following command creates an XML template named VolumeSelectionRules.xml: Copy move_volume_files -u=tc-admin-user -p=password -g=group -outrulesfile=VolumeSelectionRules.xml The XML file is stored in the current directory. Edit the volume allocation rules template to define volume allocation rules for your site. Evaluate the rules and store the results by running the move_volume_files utility with the -rulesfile argument set to the name of the XML file and the -f argument set to list. For example: Copy move_volume_files -u=tc-admin-user -p=password -g=group -rulesfile=VolumeSelectionRules.xml -f=list Evaluate the rules and move the specified files by running the move_volume_files utility with the -rulesfile argument set to the name of the XML file and the -f argument set to move. For example: Copy move_volume_files -u=tc-admin-user -p=password -g=group -rulesfile=VolumeSelectionRules.xml -f=move (Optional) Exclude specific volumes from all listing and transfer actions using the -excludedvollist argument to process a file containing the list of volumes to be excluded. This argument is typically used to list default local volumes (store and forward volumes) to ensure the files stored in these temporary volume locations are not transferred. Use either the full path to the file, or use the partial path/file name, in which case the utility searches for the file name in the current directory. Any number of volumes can be specified in this file. Each entry must be a valid volume name, listed on its own row in the file. What to do next You can run this utility as a cron job or as a scheduled task, using process_move_file_volumes as a .sh or .bat script, respectively.
