You must decide how much free space to maintain on each managed filesystem. DMF has the ability to monitor filesystem capacity and to initiate file migration and the freeing of space when free space falls below the prescribed thresholds. Offline data management. DMF offers the ability to migrate data to multiple offline locations. Each location is managed by a separate MSP and is usually constrained to a specific type of medium.
Complex strategies are possible when using multiple MSPs.
For example, short files can be migrated to a device with rapid mount times, while long files can be routed to a device with extremely high density. You can describe criteria for MSP selection. On a regular basis, the media pool must be merged in order to eliminate unusable space. Recording media eventually becomes unreliable. Sometimes, media transports become misaligned so that a volume written on one cannot be read from another.
