Setting Archive Priorities: -priority
The Sun StorageTek SAM file systems offer a configurable priority system for
archiving files. Each file is assigned a priority computed from properties of the file
and priority multipliers that can be set for each archive set in the archiver.cmd
file. Properties include online/offline, age, number of copies made, and size.
By default, the files in an archive request are not sorted, and all property multipliers
are zero. This results in files being archived in first-found, first-archived order. You
can control the order in which files are archived by setting priorities and sort
methods. The following are examples of priorities that you can set:
■ Select the priority sort method to archive files within an archive request in
priority order.
■ Change the archive_loaded priority to reduce media loads.
■ Change the offline priority to cause online files to be archived before offline
files.
■ Change the copy# priorities to make archive copies in copy order.
TABLE 3-20 lists the archive priorities.
