This document provides an introduction to installing, configuring, and running the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager HSM Client for Windows. It discusses:
1) Installing the HSM client and configuring it by creating an options file and specifying the Tivoli Storage Manager server address, nodename, password, and default file space.
2) Configuring the Tivoli Storage Manager server by registering a node for the HSM client, defining an archive storage pool and volume, and setting the retention period for migrated files.
3) Using the HSM client to define a migration job by specifying source files and directories, conditions for files to migrate, and the action to take on files after migration.
This document describes how XenServer provides and keeps track of the storage supplied to its guests. The first section
is a reminder of how Linux looks at storage and the second section builds on that to explain XenServer storage. Basic
knowledge of Linux is required, as some standard tools are used.

CIF16/Scale14x: The latest from the Xen Project (Lars Kurth, Chairman of Xen ...The Linux Foundation
An important facilitator of Unikernel development, Xen Project continues to develop new and interesting technologies to support the needs of the next generation datacenter. Potentially game-changing technologies like Unikernels will never reach their full potential unless the hypervisor they rely on can handle a large number of potentially tiny VMs effectively and efficiently.
In this talk, Xen Project Advisory Board Chairman Lars Kurth will discuss some of the major advances in the hypervisor produced in last year's releases (4.5 and 4.6). He will also discuss some of the work in development which could appear in upcoming releases.
The 4.5 release no a minor "point" update: it is one of the most feature-rich releases in the project's history. It contains several important additions. Most notably, new Xen PVH virtualization mode now supports running as dom0, enhanced support for Remus, significant ARM architecture updates, security improvements, real-time scheduling, support for Intel Cache Monitoring Technology (CMT), as well as improvements for automotive and embedded use-cases. Other enhancements include additional support for FreeBSD, systemd support, additional libvirt support, the release of Mirage OS 2.0, and more.
Besides giving an overview of Xen 4.5, we will explain the project's roadmap process and share what's ahead for 2015: such as improved OpenStack integration and hotpatching (applying security fixes without the need to reboot).
This exam measures your ability to accomplish the technical tasks listed below. The percentages indicate the relative weight of each major topic area on the exam. http://www.allpass4sure.com/microsoft-pdf-70-410.html
The demo illustrates the use of storage availability areas and dynamic attach / detach features in an end-to-end data back-up and verification scenario on SmartCloud Enterprise with the command line tool and Java API.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

2. Product overview
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for HSM for Windows (referred to subsequently as “HSM client”)
provides Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) for Windows NTFS file systems. Using the
HSM client, individual files, parts of NTFS file systems, or complete NTFS file systems can be
migrated to remote storage in an IBM Tivoli Storage Manage server (any platform, V5.2 or
higher). A migrated file leaves a small piece of the file (stub file) on the Windows system, with
sufficient metadata so that the name, directory path, owner, creation date, last access date,
and last modification date are all visible. The migration of files is transparent to Windows
users and application; this means that Windows users see and access migrated files like any
file physically stored on the file system. The only difference is that when a migrated file is
opened, it will be transparently retrieved and copied back to the local Windows system.
The HSM client supports NTFS file systems under Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 and
later, and Windows 2003. Windows NT® and FAT partitions are not supported.
The HSM client acts as a Tivoli Storage Manager client exploiting the Tivoli Storage Manager
client’s archiving API. Migrated files from the HSM client are stored in archive pools on the
Tivoli Storage Manager server, not HSM pools.
Installing the HSM client
Prerequisite: The Tivoli Storage Manager backup/archive client V5.3.2 or higher must be
installed on the Windows system before installing the HSM client. If this is not installed, you
will see the error shown in Figure 1 when you reach step 4 on page 4. You must cancel the
installation at this point, install the backup/archive client at the required level, and then
re-start.
Figure 1 Error received if prerequisite Tivoli Storage Manager backup/archive client is not installed
To install the HSM client, run the setup.exe file.
1. Select the language, as shown in Figure 2. The default is English. Click OK.
Figure 2 Select installation language

HSM client.
Figure 5 Enter customer information
5. In Figure 6, you can specify an alternate installation directory to the default, which is
C:Program FilesTivoliTSM. If your backup/archive client was installed in another
location, you could choose to also install the HSM client there by clicking Change. A new
directory, HSMCLIENT, is created in whatever base directory is specified here.
Figure 6 Choose installation location
6. You will be prompted to begin the installation. Click Install to proceed.
7. When the installation is complete, click Finish on the InstallShield Wizard Completed
window.
4 Using the Tivoli Storage Manager HSM Client for Windows
5. 8. You have to reboot to complete the installation, as shown in Figure 7. You should not
proceed with configuring the HSM client until after the reboot.
Figure 7 Restart to complete the installation
After the reboot, the installation is complete. You can now proceed with the configuration.
Configuration
There is required configuration for both the Tivoli Storage Manager server and the HSM
client. We will first describe configuration on the Tivoli Storage Manager server. The server is
running on an AIX® system called AZOV.
Tivoli Storage Manager server configuration
You need to define a node for the HSM client. This should be distinct from any backup/archive
client nodes. Use the REGISTER NODE command, as shown in Example 1. Our node will be
called WIM_HSM with password WIM. We are using the STANDARD policy domain, but you
could also have a separate policy domain just for clients using HSM.
Example 1 Register a node for the HSM client
tsm: AZOV_1>reg node WIM_HSM wim
ANR2060I Node WIM_HSM registered in policy domain STANDARD.
ANR2099I Administrative userid WIM_HSM defined for OWNER access to node

------------------------- -------- -------------- ---------- ---------- -------
WIM_HSM (?) STANDARD <1 <1 No
Using the Tivoli Storage Manager HSM Client for Windows 5
6. You also require space in an archive storage pool. Our copy group is using an archive
destination storage pool called ARCHIVEPOOL and we have defined one volume to receive
the migrated files from the HSM clients, as shown in Example 2.
Example 2 Setup of archive storage pool and volume
tsm: AZOV_1>q co standard t=a f=d
Policy Domain Name: STANDARD
Policy Set Name: ACTIVE
Mgmt Class Name: STANDARD
Copy Group Name: STANDARD
Copy Group Type: Archive

Volume Name Storage Device Estimated Pct Volume
Pool Name Class Name Capacity Util Status
------------------------ ----------- ---------- --------- ----- --------
/opt/tsmvols/arpool.vol ARCHIVEPOOL DISK 100.0 27.0 On-Line
This is all that is required for a basic configuration on the server.
Important: Files migrated to the Tivoli Storage Manager server using the HSM client for
Windows are retained on the server for the length of time defined in the Retain Version field
of the archive copy group. Our example shows 100 days. You should set this field
according to your needs and the space available. This field can be set to NOLIMIT, which
means the migrated files will be kept on the server indefinitely, regardless of whether the
original is deleted from the client. If you set this field to a lesser value, be careful of the
possibility that the stub file still exists on the client, when the migrated file on the server has
expired.
HSM client configuration
Now you need to configure the HSM client.
1. From the Windows start menu, select Start → Program Files → Tivoli Storage
Manager → HSM GUI. The first time this is run, you will be prompted to create a new
options file, as shown in Figure 8 on page 7. Click Next.
Important: The HSM client creates its own options file, dsm.opt, in the installation
directory. It will not overwrite or conflict with any existing backup/archive client options
file.

7. Figure 8 Create a new options file
2. On the next window (Figure 9), enter the address and port for the Tivoli Storage Manager
server. We used the fully qualified domain name azov.almaden.ibm.com.
Figure 9 Enter Tivoli Storage Manager server address and port
Using the Tivoli Storage Manager HSM Client for Windows 7
8. 3. Next, enter the password access method (see Figure 10).
Figure 10 Enter password access method
We recommend Password Generate; with this option, the password will be encrypted
locally after it is entered the first time, and you will not have to enter it subsequently.
4. Enter the nodename, which should match the HSM client nodename defined on the Tivoli
Storage Manager in Example 1 on page 5. Our nodename is WIM_HSM, as shown in
Figure 11.
Figure 11 Enter the nodename of the HSM client

9. 5. Next, enter the password corresponding to this node; again, match it to the password
defined on the Tivoli Storage Manager server (see Figure 12).
Figure 12 Enter the password for the client node
6. Now you can enter a default file space to be used to store the migrated files from the HSM
client. You do not need to specify a default file space; you can manually enter a file space
each time you migrate files. The HSM client will create a file space entry for the name
entered. We entered a file space, wim-hsm-fs1, as shown in Figure 13.
Figure 13 Specify initial file space
Using the Tivoli Storage Manager HSM Client for Windows 9
10. 7. You will see a summary of the settings you have entered, as shown in Figure 14. If you are
satisfied, click Finish.
Figure 14 Confirm HSM client configuration settings
8. You will see the options file written message (see Figure 15). Click OK.
Figure 15 HSM client configuration complete
9. You will see the main execution window for the HSM client, as shown in Figure 16.
Figure 16 HSM client initial screen
Before performing some actual migration, let’s check the options file which was created. This
is in c:Program FilesTivoliTSMhsmclientdsm.opt, and looks like Example 3 on page 11.

Operation
We will show how to set up a job to migrate some files to the server, and then how the
transparent recall of files is done.
Define a migration job
1. From the main HSM client window shown in Figure 16 on page 10, select Job → New
Job. Enter a name for the job; we chose ITSOJob1, as shown in Figure 17.
Figure 17 Create a migration job
Using the Tivoli Storage Manager HSM Client for Windows 11
12. 2. To set the job properties, double-click the job name. The window shown in Figure 18
appears. On the General tab, enter a file space where the migrated files will be stored on
the Tivoli Storage Manager server. You could use the file space defined in step 6 on
page 9 or specify new one. We used the file space we already specified, wim-hsm-fs1.
Figure 18 Enter file space
3. Click the Source files tab. In this window (Figure 19 on page 13), you will specify the files
and directories to be migrated. There can be multiple specifications here. To enter a
directory, click New Directory to enter an individual file, enter New File. We wanted to
enter a directory.
12 Using the Tivoli Storage Manager HSM Client for Windows
13. Figure 19 Specify source files and directories to be migrated
Using the Tivoli Storage Manager HSM Client for Windows 13
14. 4. In the next window, you can enter the directory you want to migrate; click Browse to
navigate the directories to find the one you want. If you want the contents of any
subdirectories to be also migrated, check the Include subdirectories box. You also need
to specify what action to perform on the HSM client after the files are migrated. The
default, as selected in Figure 20, is to replace the original file with a stub file; freeing up
space on the client. Alternatively you can keep the files as is on the client or delete the
files. If you select the option to delete, you are essentially performing an archive, since the
files will no longer exist on the client.
Figure 20 Specify the source directories to include
5. If you finish the job here, all files in this directory will be migrated; however, you can add
further conditions on the files to be migrated. These conditions can be related to the file
size, creation time, modification time, last access time, or a combination of these. You can
also specify groups of files, either explicitly entered, or based on file extension (for
example, .ppt or .doc). You can choose to include or exclude files matching the condition.
To add a condition, click the Advanced Conditions tab and select New Include or New
Exclude. Conditions represent an extremely powerful feature of the HSM client. Refer to
the manual IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for HSM for Windows Administrator’s Guide,
SC32-1773 for full details of defining and using conditions.
We show adding a simple condition so that only files that have not been modified in 120
days will be migrated, as shown in Figure 21 on page 15. If you specify additional
conditions, only files that match all the conditions will be migrated.

16. 7. Click OK twice to complete the job definition. The job now appears in the main window, as
shown in Figure 23.
Figure 23 Migrate job definition is complete
Execute a migration job
Now we want to execute a migrate job. You can do this from the GUI or from the
command-line interface (run c:Program FilesTivoliTSMhsmclientdsmclc.exe). Since there
is a command line interface, you can also schedule migrate jobs for regular execution using
the Windows scheduler or other scheduling package. You can also feed a list of files to
migrate, which could be generated from an application such as TPC for Data report. Again,
see the manual IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for HSM for Windows Administrator’s Guide,
SC32-1773 for full details of these options.
Before running the job, we will see how many files are currently on disk in this directory using
Windows Explorer, as shown in Figure 24.

17. We can estimate the likely benefit of running the job by right-clicking and selecting Calculate
Space Saving, as in Figure 25.
Figure 25 Calculate space savings
Now we are ready to migrate.
1. To run the job, click Execute Job from the previous window (Figure 25) or from the main
window (Figure 23 on page 16), right-click the job and select Execute Job Immediately.
Answer Yes to the question Do you really want to migrate?. The window will show each file
as it is being migrated, as shown in Figure 26.

18. 2. After the migration is complete, the summary window shows the results (see Figure 27).
Figure 27 Migration complete
3. If we re-display the directory details, compared with before the migration, as in Figure 24
on page 16, we can see, as in Figure 28, that we have freed up the space on the disk.
Figure 28 Directory size after migration
Note the Size on disk field; this now represents only the space taken up by the stub files.
18 Using the Tivoli Storage Manager HSM Client for Windows
19. 4. On the Tivoli Storage Manager server, we use the QUERY OCCUPANCY QUERY
VOLUME command, as in Example 5, to show that there is space occupied by the HSM
client in the file space designated and in the volume in the archive pool.

5. Finally, we can show the properties of an actual file that was migrated, as in Figure 29.
Compare the Size field with the Size on disk field; this is the only indication from the client
perspective that the file has been migrated.

20. Retrieve files
There are two ways to retrieve files. First, you can open the file as normal from the
appropriate application. For the file shown in Figure 29 on page 19, we would open it in
FrameMaker. This causes a transparent retrieve from the Tivoli Storage Manager server; the
only indication to the client that this had occurred is a slight delay in the normal file access
time. After the file has been opened and saved, the properties (Figure 30) show that the Size
and Size on disk fields are identical; the whole file has been written back to local disk.
Figure 30 File after retrieval
The other way to retrieve files is explicitly through the GUI. To do this, select Migrate/
Retrieve → Search & Retrieve from the main window shown in Figure 23 on page 16.
Specify the file space; you can also use limiting search criteria. In our example (Figure 31 on
page 21), we use wild cards so that all migrated files will be displayed. Click Search.

21. Figure 31 Search for files to retrieve
We receive a warning that all migrated files will be returned (since we used all wild cards).
From the displayed list of migrated files (Figure 32), select those that you want to retrieve, and
click Retrieve.

22. As shown in Figure 33, there are different options for single and multiple file retrieves. Click
Retrieve again to actually retrieve the file.
