AdministrativeTasks

Retrieve Secondary If a file is stored to media as both a primary and secondary

Filescopy, the secondary copy of the file can be retrieved to disk as a new file by using the fsretrieve -ccommand. This is the only command that allows access to the secondary copy of a file.

Delayed Dismount

FileServ provides the system administrator with the ability to configure each FileServ drive to delay the dismount of media after store and retrieve operations. The fsconfig command allows the system administrator to specify a delay time-out for each drive in the library subsystem.

Note

For more information on the fsconfig command, refer to

the Command Reference book.

The delay time-out specifies the number of seconds since the last release before the media is dismounted. Media remains mounted in a drive until the specified time has passed since the last media release. The timer is cancelled when media is reallocated. The timer is reset to the time-out value when the media is released again.

Media is always dismounted if a currently delayed piece of media cannot fulfill an incoming request and all other drives are in use or delayed. Media marked suspect during the operation for which it is allocated are also dismounted.
