• Issues an operator message if the migration policy option is
set to notify.
• Initiates automatic migration of media if the migration
policy is set to migrate.
When the number of media in an archive media class drops to
the low mark threshold, VolServ:
• Does nothing if the migration policy option is set to none.
• Issues an operator message if the migration policy is set to
notify.
• Terminates automatic migration of media if the migration
policy is set to migrate.
The capacity value of an archive media class is relative to the
MediaClass group specified overall capacity. Consideration
should be given to all MediaClass groups that are able to share
this archive to ensure that reasonably comparable capacity
limitations and high/low marks are set for each archive media
class.
