General Storage Processing

A secondary file copy is written at the time the file is stored with the fsstore command by specifying the number of copies (including the primary file) up to the maximum number of copies set for the DataClass group. The number of secondary copies specified for a file cannot exceed the DataClass maxcopies parameter value.

Note

The current maximum allowable value for maxcopies is two copies, a primary and a secondary.

You can override the DataClass number of copies for a specific file with the fschfiat command.

When a storage request is received, either with the application of the storage policy or the fsstore command, the file eligibility is checked for storage.

If no media copy exists or the file is changed since the last copy was made, the file is eligible for storage.

If the file data is already on media and the file has not changed since the copy was made, the file is not eligible for storage to media.

Note

Before you can use the fsstore command, you must have read, write, or execute permission on the file you want to truncate.
