Overflow Policy

The HIBLK_THRESHOLD and LOBLK_THRESHOLD system

 

variables are located in the fs_sysparm file. These variables

 

are system-wide parameters.

 

FileServ reads the new values at startup time. If FileServ is

 

running, you must recycle the system to pickup the new values.

 

If the overflow hiblk value is reached for a file system, the

 

$FS_HOME/internal/policy_dir/fs_spt_ovflow

 

script is automatically invoked. This script is used for:

 

• Emergency situations when routine data cleanup is not

 

maintained for a file system,

 

• Or, when data is rapidly stored to the disk before the routine

 

storage policy reacts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SGI ONLY: If HIBLK_THRESHOLD and

 

 

 

 

LOBLK_THRESHOLD parameters are not given to a file

 

 

 

 

system, the emergency script is never invoked for that file

 

 

 

 

system, regardless of the disk usage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Using the fspolicy Command

 

The fspolicy command is run to store eligible files from disk

 

to media or to truncate files on disk that are fully stored to

 

media

Command Reference book.
