Good Day To All, I need to confirm if I my understanding about SMS & SPACE management is correct. We have noticed that there are several dsns which have been on dasd for over 10 months. The volumes and dsns are all SMS managed and DFHSM performs the necessary migration and deletion. I checked the MANAGEMENT class and the dsns are to be deleted after 1 day non-usage
Expire after Days Non-usage . : 1 Expire after Date/Days . . . . : 1 Retention Limit . . . . . . . : 0 Below are the attributes of the Storage Group: Allocation/migration Threshold : High 85 (1-100) Low . . 1 (0-99) Alloc/Migr Threshold Track-Managed: High 85 (1-100) Low . . 1 (0-99) Guaranteed Backup Frequency . . . . . . (1 to 9999 or NOLIMIT) BreakPointValue . . . . . . . . . . . . (0-65520 or blank) Processing Priority . . . . . . . . . . 50 (1-100) I think that the dsns are not deleted because SMS did not select some of these volumes have not met the criteria of the Low threshold of 1. I remember reading somewhere (on this board the following): For primary space management, HSM only looks at the low threshold. If the volume exceeds the low threshold, then we will process any data sets that are eligible for migration on that volume. Could someone confirm if I am correct? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
