Maximum number of drives (MaxNumDrives)
Maximum number of drives for migration (MaxNumDrivesMigration)
Maximum number of drives for recall (MaxNumDrivesRecall)
Maximum number of drives for recovery (MaxNumDrivesRecovery)
Partition priority (PartitionPriority)
Migration priority (MigrationPriority)
Recall priority (RecallPriority)
Definition Maximum number of all drives that can be used for all jobs by the partition.
Impact With this parameter you can prevent a single partition from using all the drives and not
leaving any drives for other partitions and administrative jobs. You should carefully
balance resources. Note that all other jobs are queued if the Partition Manager uses the
maximum number of drives.
Definition Maximum number of drives that can be used for migration by the partition.
Impact The purpose of this parameter is to prevent the respective Partition Manager from using
all the drives at once for migration jobs. You should carefully balance resources
according to your environment.
Definition Maximum number of drives that can be used for recall by the partition.
Impact The purpose of this parameter is to prevent the respective Partition Manager from using
all the drives at once for recall jobs. You should carefully balance resources according to
your environment.
Definition Maximum number of drives that can be used for recovery by the partition.
Impact The purpose of this parameter is to prevent the respective Partition Manager from using
all the drives at once for recovery jobs. You should carefully balance resources according
to your environment.
Definition The overall priority level for all jobs of one partition on a scale of 1 to 100.
Impact Partition priority is used together with job type priority (migration, recall, recovery,
maintenance) to calculate the initial priority of the job. With this parameter you can
differentiate overall priority of different FSE partitions.
Definition The priority for migration jobs on a scale of 1 to 100.
Impact This priority is multiplied by the partition priority in order to calculate the initial priority of
a migration job. Typically, the value of the migration priority is lower than the value of the
recall priority (because recalls are more critical than migrations); however, you need to
balance your job priorities carefully in order not to override other jobs. See ”Priority
calculation” on page 130.
Definition The priority for recall jobs on a scale of 1 to 100.
Impact This priority is multiplied by the partition priority in order to calculate the initial priority of
a recall job. Typically, the value for the recall priority is higher than the value for the
migration priority; however, you need to balance your job priorities carefully in order not
to override other jobs. See ”Priority calculation” on page 130.
