I am wanting to setup a disk pool to migrate data 90 days old. I was under the impression that when data was 90 days or older it would automatically migrate to next pool. I was told that one thing that would happen is, as soon as data became 90 days old, it could migrate at anytime during the night, so I wanted to control that, so I setup a job to set migdelay 90 in the mornings and then set it back a few hours later to 0. So far, I haven't seen it migrate anything off. I was then told "NO" you have to set you hi/lo thresholds down to kick migration off but then that gets your oldest data first but it doesn't stop there it will keep migrating until your low threshold is met so it could migrate data newer than 90 days. Clear as mud? This is our 3rd tsm server, but a new one. I am on AIX 5.3TL4 TSM 5.3.3.1. Sorry if this has already been covered at some point by this group. Thanks in advance.....Rod.
