Running as a cron Event

•Normal. The normal store request is placed in the queue for processing along with all other resource requests.

Note

To run fspolicy to store a very large number of files, (a million or more) make sure you have sufficient memory. The required memory should equal the maximum number of files to store times 425.

•Emergency.

The fspolicy command maintains an internal store and truncate candidate list of files. When the command is invoked, those candidates meeting the criteria for storage or truncation are processed. This candidate list can be overridden with the -woption that scans the entire file system looking for potential store and truncation candidates that meet the defined DataClass group mintime requirements. Although this process is database intensive, it should be performed on a regular basis as well as any time an interrupt occurs.

This option should be run during times of minimal FileServ software activity or executed through cron.

To invoke fspolicy on a periodic basis, use the UNIX cron utility.

Note

For more information on crontab, refer to the man pages.

The cron utility is a permanent process that is started by /etc/rc.local. This utility consults the files in the $FS_HOME/.crontab directory to determine which tasks to perform and at what time.
