Fine-tune Parameters

Reallocate Drives

The following parameters can be fine-tuned for better system performance:

Parameter	Page

Reallocate Drives	1-57

Modify Tape Usage	1-58

Redirect Policy Applications	1-59

Drive allocation is affected by the following sets parameters:

•Drive deallocation.

The deallocation parameters determine when a drive is taken offline because of access errors. Drive deallocation parameters are set by modifying the appropriate system parameters. The system parameter file, fs_sysparm, is located in the $FS_HOME/sysparms directory.

•Delayed dismount.

The delayed dismount parameters determine when media is dismounted from a drive after a store or retrieve request is processed. The delayed dismount feature allows optimization of reallocation of media for another request in the queue and, thus, can reduce mount/dismount time for resource requests.

Step 1.	Using a text editor, open the fs_sysparm file
	located in the $FS_HOME/sysparms directory.
