IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

Monitoring migration processes

To obtain information about migration processing, you can request a standard storage-pool report.

About this task

Four fields on the standard storage-pool report provide you with information about the migration process. They include:
Pct Migr
Specifies the percentage of data in each storage pool that can be migrated. This value is used to determine when to start or stop migration.

For random-access and sequential-access disk storage pools, this value represents the amount of disk space occupied by backed-up, archived, or space-managed files that can be migrated to another storage pool. The calculation for random-access disk storage pools excludes cached data, but includes files on volumes that are varied offline.

For sequential-access tape storage pools, this value is the percentage of the total volumes in the storage pool that actually contain data at the moment. For example, assume that a storage pool has four explicitly defined volumes, and a maximum scratch value of six volumes. If only two volumes actually contain data at the moment, then Pct Migr is 20%.

This field is blank for copy storage pools and active-data pools.

High Mig Pct
Specifies when the server can begin migrating data from this storage pool. Migration can begin when the percentage of data that can be migrated reaches this threshold. (This field is blank for copy storage pools and active-data pools.)
Low Mig Pct
Specifies when the server can stop migrating data from this storage pool. Migration can end when the percentage of data that can be migrated falls below this threshold. (This field is blank for copy storage pools and active-data pools.)
Next Storage Pool
Specifies the primary storage pool destination to which data is migrated. (This field is blank for copy storage pools and active-data pools.)
