PSM_CATALOG_PATH configuration parameter

Use the PSM_CATALOG_PATH configuration parameter to specify the full path to the directory that contains the HCL OneDB™ Primary Storage Manager catalog tables. These catalog tables contain information about the pools, devices, and objects managed by the storage manager.

onconfig.std value: Not set. The default value is used.
default value: UNIX™ or Linux™: $INFORMIXDIR/etc/psm; Windows™: %INFORMIXDIR%\etc\psm
range of values: Full path name for the directory that contains the OneDB Primary Storage Manager catalog tables
takes effect: When the ON-Bar or onpsm utility starts; When you reset the value dynamically in your onconfig file by running the onmode -wf command.; When you reset the value in memory by running the onmode -wm command.

Usage

You can change the default path to another location. The OneDB Primary Storage Manager places the file that information about the devices and objects in whatever directory you specify.

If you move the backup file to another location, change the value of the PSM_CATALOG_PATH configuration parameter.

You can back up the contents of the file whenever you want.

If you have multiple instances, all instances contain the same catalog tables if the PSM_CATALOG_PATH in each instance is set to the same path. You can specify a different path for each instance.

The storage manager automatically creates the catalog tables the first time you run an onpsm utility command or the first time that the XBSA shared library is used.

You can also use the PSM_CATALOG_PATH environment variable to specify the location of the OneDB Primary Storage Manager catalog tables for your environment, for example, for a single session.
