Running Volume Management command line utilities

Use the following Volume Management command line utilities in conjunction with the Volume Management application. The hsm_capacity_alert utility determines when the capacity of specified volume tiers exceed specified alert levels. When alert capacity is reached, the utility sends an email alert to the system administrator. Note You can run this utility overnight by wrapping it as a .bat file and using Windows Scheduler (Windows) or wrapping it as a shell script and running a cron job (Linux). The hsm_report utility evaluates the specified hierarchical storage management (HSM) migration policies and generates the specified reports. Note For better performance, generate migration reports using this utility rather than the PieChart and Report buttons in the Volume Management application. You can run this utility overnight using a Windows at command or running a Linux cron job. The install_vminfo_acl utility creates access control list (ACL) rules for migration of the existing Teamcenter volume files. The Volume Management application introduces changes to the Access Manager (AM) rule tree. This utility verifies whether the AM rule tree contains the required rules (HSM_Info and VM_Info). If not, the rules are added to inherit the access privileges of the named ACL POM Open Access in par with the ImanFile object and saves the changes. This utility runs automatically at installation. Typically, there is no need for administrators to run the utility again. In cases where an administrator has overwritten the rule tree with custom rules, this utility can be run to ensure the required rules are added to the rule tree. The mark_for_migrate utility determines whether there are any volume files pending for migration, and if so, marks the files for migration. Note For better performance, mark files for migration using this utility rather than the Mark for Migration button in the Volume Management application. You can run this utility overnight using a Windows at command or running a Linux cron job. The unmigrate_from_hsm utility is used for reverse migration of existing Teamcenter volume files. This utility removes the hsm_info object associated with file objects from a specified volume, or from all volumes. Use this utility to resolve error situations that occurred while migrating files to HSM, or to remove a volume from the purview of HSM. Running this utility only removes the HSM functionality associated with the specified files. All physical volume files must still be returned to the primary tier if they were migrated to a secondary or tertiary tier. Note Siemens Digital Industries Software recommends that you execute this utility on a specific volume when no other users are accessing Teamcenter, especially during maintenance or upgrades. The vm_report utility evaluates the specified volume management (VM) migration policies and generates the specified reports. Note For better performance, generate migration reports using this utility rather than the PieChart and Report buttons in the Volume Management application. You can run this utility overnight using a Windows at command or running a Linux cron job.
