Managing target sets

Retention, copy, move, and discovery export actions require a named destination to which data objects can be copied, moved, or exported. Target sets associate data servers and appropriate volumes, providing your actions with a destination.

In IBM StoredIQ Administrator, click Target Sets from the side navigation bar:

• To create a target set, click Create Set.
  In the Add Target Set dialog box, provide the following information:
  1. Enter a name and a description for the target set.
     When you name the target set, avoid using commas (,). Although a comma is a valid character, it causes queries to fail when specified as part of the search text.
  2. Select the type of this target set from Primary, Retention, or Export.
  3. Select the source type of this target set. The list to choose from varies depending on the selected type.
  4. In the Target Set List area, click Add Data Servers.
     Select a data server and then click Add to move it to the Target Set List box. To delete a data server from the list, select the entry and click Remove. Use the Ctrl key to add or remove several selections simultaneously.

     Click Done when you're finished adding data servers for the target set. At any time, you can modify the list by clicking Add/Remove Data Server(s) in the Create Target Set dialog box.

  5. Back in the Create Target Set dialog box, select a data server, and then select a volume on that data server. Repeat this step for each data server.
  6. Save the definition when you're done.
• To edit a target set, select the target set and click Edit Set.
• To duplicate a target set, select the target set and click Clone Set.
  The cloned target set's name must be unique.
• To delete a target set, select the target set and click Delete Set.
