HSM client command reference

You can use commands to do all HSM tasks. You must use the correct syntax and format when you enter commands.

When you issue commands and options, follow these rules:

• Do not precede HSM commands with dsmc. Each space management client command is a separately executable command.
• Enter the complete command name in lowercase letters. You cannot use uppercase letters or an abbreviation for a command name.
• Do not stop any HSM process with the command kill -9.
• Use the following wildcard characters in file, directory, or file system specifications. The shell in which you are running matches and expands wildcard characters.

  *

  Matches zero or more characters

  ?

  Matches any single character

• Enter the characters in a command in a continuous string without pressing the Return key. You can enter as many as 256 characters on the command line.
