Before FileServ can operate properly, the physical configuration of the system must be defined within FileServ. This procedure is accomplished during or after FileServ installation.

After installation, the system administrator is responsible for associating all the drive devices configured in VolServ to FileServ.

The fsconfig command provides hardware component configuration.

Note

For more information on the fsconfig command, refer to

the Command Reference book.

To use FileServ to either migrate or archive data, directories in various file systems must be associated with sets of parameters that govern data migration characteristics. The migration parameter set is known as a DataClass group.

A DataClass group is created and defined through the fsaddclass command or Define Classes screen.

The DataClass parameters control the following:

•Allocation of media.

•Number of copies of file data that are stored.

•Application of the data storage.

1-6
