        Subject:        how can I determine why an archive is not going to disk?


Hello *,

I am at a loss how to determine why a client is not going to disk for an
archive.

The archived data is going to the correct management class.

The management class specifies that the archive copy group points to the
ARCHIVE storage pool destination

Policy Domain Name COMPAQ01
Policy Set Name COMPAQ01
Mgmt Class Name ARAN_DATA
Copy Group Name STANDARD
Retain Version 1825
Copy Serialization SHRSTATIC
Copy Destination ARCHIVE
Last Update Date/Time 2002-12-05 11:38:48.000000
Last Update by (administrator) CABANL

and the storage pool does not have a max size threshold

Storage Pool Name ARCHIVE
Storage Pool Type PRIMARY
Device Class Name DISK
Estimated Capacity (MB) 180579.0
Pct Util 0.0
Pct Migr 0.0
Pct Logical 100.0
High Mig Pct 80
Low Mig Pct 40
Migration Processes 1
Next Storage Pool ARCHIVETAPE
Maximum Size Threshold -
Access READWRITE
Description -
Overflow Location -
Cache Migrated Files? NO
Collocate -
Reclamation Threshold -



But every time I try to do an archive, it (even for 20KB files) mounts a
tape to write to.
