maxmigrators

The maxmigrators option specifies the maximum number of parallel migration sessions that can run in parallel for each file system. Ensure that you have sufficient resources on the server for parallel migration to occur.

Tip: When automatic migration is driven by GPFS™ policy, the maxmigrators option has no effect.

Do not set the maxmigrators option higher than the number of parallel sessions that the server can use to store data.

This option can be set by the Tivoli® Storage Manager server.

Options File

Place this option at the beginning of the dsm.sys file before any server stanzas.
