Configuring immediate reconciliation

Edit online

The space management client can expire migration copies on the IBM Storage® Protect server when migrated or premigrated files are deleted from the space-managed file system.

About this task

You can configure immediate reconciliation. When a migrated or premigrated file is deleted on the space-managed file system, the migration copy on the IBM Storage Protect server is expired immediately. Expirations are synchronized with deletions when a file system is space managed by a single IBM Storage Protect server or multiple IBM Storage Protect servers.

If you set MIGFILEEXPIRATION 0, the migration copy on the IBM Storage Protect server is deleted immediately. You cannot recover the file on the space-managed file system with the dsmmigundelete command.

A separate reconciliation is required to expire orphans on the IBM Storage Protect server if the process is interrupted by a system failure. A separate reconciliation is required to expire orphans on the IBM Storage Protect server if the process is interrupted by a failover of space management. A separate reconciliation is required to update metadata information of migrated and premigrated files on the IBM Storage Protect server. The metadata includes path and file name, time stamps, owner, group and access rights.
