When adding or deleting a drive to the system, the system
parameter FS_VS_QUEUE_XXX_THRESHOLD value located
under $FS_HOME/sysparms directory must be updated for
each media type the drive supports. The entered value is three
times the total number of drives in the system. For example,
three drives exist in a library system, with a fourth drive to be
added. Because the drive supports D-2 media, the system
parameter file shows the following values for
FS_VS_QUEUE_XXX_THRESHOLD:
• FS_VS_QUEUE_D2S_THRESHOLD = 9
• FS_VS_QUEUE_D2M_THRESHOLD = 9
• FS_VS_QUEUE_D2L_THRESHOLD = 9
The value for each supported media type is changed to reflect
the addition of the new drive (3x4 drives). If a drive is deleted
from the system, the value is changed to reflect the deletion of
the drive. If multiple drive types are used, it is recommended
that the sum of all FS_VS_QUEUE_XXX_THRESHOLD not
exceed 100.
Add a Library Step 1. If a new library is added to your site, add the license
string variable to the VolServ ENVAR file system
parameter file.
Step 2. Add the drives in the new library to the FileServ
system configuration list with the fsconfig
command.
Step 3. Contact technical support for detailed instructions
for adding or removing storage subsystems and
libraries to your storage system.
