Device-configuration file for the OneDB Primary Storage Manager

The onpsm utility can generate a device-configuration file, which is a text file that contains information about a storage device. The utility uses this information to re-create the devices.

The configuration file contains the following information about each device:

DEVICE
The complete path to the device
TYPE
Type of device
  • FILE = file directory on a disk device
POOL
The pool that contains the device, either DBSPOOL, LOGPOOL, or EXTPOOL
BLOCKSIZE
Not applicable for disk devices.
SIZE

PRIORITY

For example, the device-configuration file might contain the following information
DEVICE=/vobs/tristarm/sqldist/psm_backup/dbspace
TYPE=FILE
POOL=DBSPOOL
BLOCKSIZE=0
SIZE=0
PRIORITY=HIGH
