IBM Storage Archive data source connections
You can define tags and policies in IBM Data Cataloging based on values that are derived from IBM Spectrum® Archive metadata to help in searching and categorizing files.
IBM Data Cataloging integrates with IBM Storage Archive to display search results that include the following archive state of files:
- Migration status
migstatus - Search results display details for the following migration status:
migrtd- Indicates that the file is migrated to tape.

premig- Indicates that the file is pre-migrated to tape.
- Migration "location"
migloc - Search results display information on the tape cartridge in the following format:
1 tape cartridge volser@tape storage pool id@tape library serial number
. Any additional copies must be separated by colons. - Actual size of file in the associated IBM Storage
Scale file system
Size Consumed Bytes - IBM Data Cataloging displays a zero if the file is moved to tape.
Remember: The migration state
information is collected and summarized in the IBM Data Cataloging
State facet. You can access this facet by using IBM Data Cataloging visual search. For more
information, see Searching.For more
information, see the topic Searching in the Data Cataloging: Administration Guide.
The IBM Data Cataloging interface displays the search results including the metadata information.
Important: The location information that is displayed in IBM Data Cataloging is provided by IBM Storage
Scale. It corresponds to the
dmapi.IBMTPS attribute for the file. Run the mmlsattr -L command
for more details.
