For a specific file prefix, my STORCLAS ACS routine sets the storage class to SCyyyy. Then in my STORGRP ACS routine, that storage class causes the storage group to be set to SGyyyy.

But, in my MGMTCLAS ACS routine, where everything is based on the storage group setting, there are no specific IF statement for that storage group so it appears that the default management class of "" (null) is assigned for these files.

My assumption is that HSM is just going to ignore the files in this storage class and never migrate them. Yet, for these specific files, I actually want them migrated to tape so I think I need them assigned to a management class. (right/wrong?)

Questions:
1) If I change the MGMTCLAS ACS routine so as to assign a real management class, will this affect existing files, or only newly created files?

2) These files are for an old system that is no longer used. Since I just want them migrated out to tape and left there forever, would it be better to just issue a:
MIGRATE VOLUME(xxxxxx) MIGRATE(365) ML2
command and force the move to tape and not worry about setting up a valid management class for these files?
