DataClass Groups

Migration policy parameters are configurable on a DataClass group basis, which provides the FileServ administrator with control over the behavior of the FileServ system. The minimum time required on disk before migration and file cleanup action are examples of DataClass migration policy parameters. Quotas for media usage (both a soft warning limit and a hard limit) are also kept on a DataClass group basis. DataClass group parameters are recorded so that tuning is accomplished while the FileServ system is active.

FileServ uses DataClass groups as the means to segregate files on media. All files on media are of the same DataClass group. This provides a level of physical security for those sites for which it is required. This segregation ensures that retrieval of files from different user groups (as defined by the DataClass group parameters) does not require access of the same physical media.

Characteristics of DataClass groups are established and modified so that data is handled differently among DataClass groups. Initially, configuring or changing the parameter settings for DataClass groups involves DataClass manipulation. This allows flexible handling of data to suit the user’s needs.The table below lists the tasks performed on DataClass groups:
