| Sun StorageTek QFS Installation and Upgrade Guide
|
   
|
The Sun StorageTek QFS environment consists of a file system, daemons, processes, various types of commands (user, administrator, and so on), and tools. This appendix describes the commands that are included in the Sun StorageTek QFS software distributions.
The Sun StorageTek QFS commands operate in conjunction with the standard UNIX file system commands. All the commands are documented in UNIX man(1) pages.
This appendix contains the following sections:
User Commands
By default, file system operations are transparent to the end user. Depending on your site practices, however, you might want to make some commands available to users at your site to fine-tune certain operations. TABLE C-1 summarizes these commands.
TABLE C-1 User Commands
|
Command
|
Description
|
|
sdu(1)
|
Summarizes disk usage. The sdu(1) command is based on the GNU version of the du(1) command.
|
|
setfa(1)
|
Sets file attributes.
|
|
sfind(1)
|
Searches for files in a directory hierarchy. The sfind(1) command is based on the GNU version of the find(1) command and contains options for searching based on Sun StorageTek QFS and SAM-QFS file attributes.
|
|
sls(1)
|
Lists contents of directories. The sls(1) command is based on the GNU version of the ls(1) command and contains options for displaying file system attributes and information.
|
|
squota(1)
|
Reports quota information.
|
General System Administrator Commands
TABLE C-2 summarizes the commands that you can use to maintain and manage the system.

Description
|
|
fsmadm(1M)
|
Starts or stops the fsmgmtd daemon.
|
|
fsmgr(1M)
|
Accessed from /opt/SUNWfsmgr/bin/fsmgr
Controls some File System Manager functions.
Usage is as follows:
trace level Trace File System Manager execution
The level is set as follows:
1 Trace important messages only
2 Trace moderately important message, include messages in trace level 1
3 Trace all messages
off Turn off tracing
If no options are given, displays the current trace level.
Trace messages are sent by syslogd(1M) to facility local6.debug
|
|
|
session timeout_value_in_minutes Sun Java Web Console Session Timeout Value
The timeout_value_in_minutes value must be an integer greater than or equal to 10.
|
|
fsmgr_setup(1M)
|
Installs or upgrades the File System Manager software
|
|
samcmd(1M)
|
Executes one samu(1M) operator interface utility command.
|
|
samexplorer(1M)
|
Generates a Sun StorageTek QFS diagnostic report script.
|
|
samu(1M)
|
Invokes the full-screen, text-based operator interface. This interface is based on the curses(3CURSES) software library. The samu utility displays the status of devices and enables the operator to control automated libraries.

samfsdump(1M)
samfsrestore(1M)
|
Creates or restores a dump file of the metadata associated with a SAM-QFS file system.
|
|
samfsinfo(1M)
|
Displays information about the layout of a Sun StorageTek QFS or SAM-QFS file system.
|
|
samfstyp(1M)
|

Reports, sets, or resets quota information.
|
|
samquotastat(1M)

|
|
samunhold(1M)

Releases SANergy file holds.
|
|
trace_rotate(1M)
|
Rotates trace files.

Application Programming Interface
You can use the application programming interface (API) to make file system requests from within a user application. The requests can be made locally or remotely to the machine on which the file system is running. The API consists of the libsam and libsamrpc libraries. These libraries contain library routines for obtaining file status; for setting archive, release, and stage attributes for a file; and for manipulating the library catalog of an automated library. The sam-rpcd remote procedure call daemon handles remote requests. To automatically start the sam-rpcd daemon, set samrpc=on in the defaults.conf file.
For more information about the API, see the intro_libsam(3) man page. This man page provides overview information for using the library routines in libsam and libsamrpc.
Operational Utilities
Within the Sun StorageTek QFS environment, you can use the samu(1M) operator utility and File System Manager to perform basic operations. TABLE C-4 summarizes the operational tools.
