Parameters
- container_name(Required)
- Specifies the name of the container to move. You must specify the full path name of the container.
- STGPOOLDIRectory
- Specifies the name of the storage pool directory where the container is moved. This parameter is
optional.
If you specify a storage pool directory, it must be in the same storage pool as the original container. The storage pool directory is used for the new container. If you don't specify a storage pool directory, the Tivoli® Storage Manager server selects a storage pool directory from the same storage pool.
- Wait
- Specifies whether to wait for the Tivoli Storage
Manager
server to complete processing this command in the foreground. This parameter is optional. Specify
the following values:
- No
- The server processes this command in the background and you can continue with other tasks while the command is processing. Messages that are related to the background process are shown either in the activity log file or the server console, depending on where the messages are logged. This is the default.
- Yes
- The server processes this command in the foreground. The operation must complete before you can
continue with other tasks. Messages are shown either in the activity log file or the server console,
or both, depending on where the messages are logged. Restriction: You cannot specify the WAIT=YES parameter from the server console.
