Conversion of mode

An AFM cache can be converted to another mode in some conditions, to meet all types of requirements of data management by unlinking the fileset and using mmchfileset -p afmmode command.

Limitations while converting the mode are as follows:

A SW or IW fileset with pending requests in the queue cannot be converted.
LU mode filesets cannot be converted to any other mode.
Before converting from IW to SW mode, ensure that all the remaining IWs are converted to either RO or LU to avoid the risk of home conflicts caused by writes from other IWs.
You cannot change the mode or disable AFM when the fileset is linked.
