Disabling automatic processes and setting schedules

Disable automatic processes like inventory expiration, migration, reclamation, and identification of duplicate data and set up schedules so that you can control when these operations are completed during the daily schedule.

About this task

Review the following sections for examples of disabling automatic operations and setting up schedules. Some general setup steps are omitted and the example uses a particular order for the server processes. However, you can reorder the processes to better fit your environment.

Procedure

  1. Disable automatic inventory expiration by setting the EXPINTERVAL server option to zero.
    setopt expinterval 0
  2. Disable automatic migration and reclamation processes by using the DEFINE STGPOOL command to set the HIGHMIG and RECLAIM parameters to a value of 100. You might have to increase the number of allowed processes for migration and reclamation in order for them to complete in a reasonable amount of time. The actual number of processes depends on available tape drives. If you have already defined storage pools, you can change values for the MIGPROCESS and RECLAIMPROCESS parameters by using the UPDATE STGPOOL command.
    def devc LARGEFILE devt=file mountlimit=500 maxcap=20480m dir=/tsmfile
    def stg FILEPOOL LARGEFILE maxscratch=200 reclaim=100 hi=100 lo=0 migpr=4 
    reclaimpr=20 next=tapepool
  3. If you have storage pools that are defined with deduplication enabled, disable the duplicate identification processes:
    def stg FILEPOOL LARGEFILE maxscratch=200 reclaim=100 hi=100 lo=0  dedup=yes 
    identifypr=0 migpr=4 reclaimpr=4
