How to Configure a Migration Client Resource

Use the Migration Client resource for individual migration clients, for each filesystem on a migration client or for a combination of the two.

You must have a Client or Client/save set combination resource configured for each client or filesystem you want to receive migration services before you can set up a Migration Client resource. See "How to Create a New Client" and "Use of Unique Client/Save Set Combinations " for more information.

1. Ensure that the computer you want to receive migration services is configured as a client of the Backup server that has HSM enabled.

2. Ensure that nsrexecd is running on the client.

3. Select Migration Setup from the Clients menu to open the Migration resource.

4. Complete the fields in the Migration resource to establish your migration policies.

   See "Migration Policies" for details about the criteria you can designate for your migration clients.

   Clients and save sets meeting these criteria are available for automatic premigration. Premigration copies the file to the storage location, leaving the original on the client's local disk. When Backup backs up a group containing migration clients, premigration occurs. This happens automatically and is not controlled by high and low water marks. For automatic premigration to occur, Backup requires that files be premigrated as part of a group. When the high water mark is reached or the client filesystem is full, migration occurs; the premigrated file is deleted from the client filesystem, leaving a stub file that contains information about the migrated file.
