Configuring the Space Manager

The space manager includes a default configuration to expire data.  This configuration tells the sapce manager what data to expire, how soon to expire it, and whether it should pass the data to another program before deleting the data.  You may need to change this configuration for a variety of different reasons:

  • you have security or legal needs to keep data for longer periods of time
  • you need to archive data to external media
  • you have added additional disk space to store archived data

»To configure the space manager:

  1. Login as the NFR user.
  2. Make the space manager directory your current directory:

    % cd $NFRHOME/spacemand
  3. Edit the space manager configuration file:

    % vi spaceman.cf
  4. Add entries to tell the space manager how to expire your data.  See the spaceman.cf reference for information on specific fields.
  5. Reload the space manager configuration to make your changes take effect:

    % spacemand -r
