ML1 threshold as specified in the HSM Parmlib Addvol statement specifies the point at which that volume becomes eligible for migration.
If a dataset is on a ML1 volume which is 50% full and your threshold for that volume is 80% then that dataset will not be migrated to ML2 even though its management class may indicate that it is eligible. Perhaps I'm reading your query incorrectly. A dataset which according to its management class should be on ML1 will stay on ML1 even if the ML1 volume %used is 90%. That's why after Secondary Space Mgmt. some ML1 volumes remain above the defined threshold for the ML1 volumes. ________________________________________ From: willie bunter [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 10, 2008 11:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: DFHSM QUESTION - ML1 Hallo To All, Our ML1 volumes threshold is set to 80%. My question is does the Management class takes precedence over the threshold. For example, if I change the threshold to 50% would it result in the ML1 volumes being 50% full (after Secondary space management has kicked in) or will the respective Management classes prevent that from happening? I hope I am able to explain myself clearly.
