AdministrativeTasks

After a file is eligible for storage, the file data for the primary copy is written to media. A volume is chosen for storage as either a default for the DataClass group (specified when the DataClass group is defined by the system administrator), or as a media type specified by the user when the fsstore command is issued.

If storage of a secondary copy is requested, the file data is copied to another media of the specified (or default) media type for the DataClass group associated with the file. Secondary copies are not placed on the same media as the primary copy.

If the DataClass group file cleanup parameter is set for immediate truncation, the file data is truncated after all copies have been stored.

Multiple storage requests queued for the same file are compared for compatibility. The first request is always processed. Subsequent storage requests are considered compatible when the specified media type is the same and the specified cleanup action is the same as the first request. When the requests are not compatible, the requests are failed with an indication that an incompatible store is already in progress.

Subsequent requests process the additional copies. All requests are retained until the storage process is complete. When the storage process is complete, all requests receive the same completion indication.
