dsmq

The dsmq command displays following information about each recall process that is queued for processing.

You must have root user authority to use this command.

The dsmq command displays the following information:
  • The recall ID
  • The hostname of the host that recalls the file
  • The start time for the recall process
  • The inode number for the recalled file
  • The name of the coupled IBM Spectrum Protect server
  • The name of the file system where the file is being recalled
  • The original name of the file at the time it was migrated
If you set the maxrecalldaemons option in your dsm.sys file lower than the current number of requested recalls, some recall requests do not display in the output for this command until recall daemons are available to perform the requests. To remove a recall process from the queue, use the dsmrm command.
Note: If the IBM Spectrum Protect server is busy, the original name of the file might display as UNKNOWN. If the connection between the space management client and the IBM Spectrum Protect server is slow, the original name of the file might display as UNKNOWN. Issue the dsmq command again to display the file name.

If the recall daemon process ID (DPID) is zero, the recall is complete. You cannot remove the recall process from the queue.

ERRORLOGName=file_path
Specifies the path and file name of the error log file to be used by this command. Output from only this command is logged to the specified file. Other commands and daemons write output to the error log file specified by the errorlogname option in options file dsm.sys or dsm.opt, or as specified by the DSM_LOG environment variable. If any part of the path you specify does not exist, the space management client creates it.
