Staging
Staging is the process of copying file data from nearline or offline storage back to
online storage.
This chapter describes the Sun StorageTek SAM file staging capabilities. It contains
the following sections:
■ “About the stager.cmd File” on page 133
■ “Prioritizing Preview Requests” on page 140
■ “Calculating Total Preview Request Priority” on page 144
■ “Setting Up a Preview Request Priority Scheme” on page 144
About the stager.cmd File
You can use the stager.cmd file to specify the stager’s behavior. The full path name
to this file is /etc/opt/SUNWsamfs/stager.cmd. The default behavior of the
stager is as follows:
■ The stager attempts to use all the drives in the library to stage files.
■ The stage buffer size is determined by the media type, and the stage buffer is not
locked.
■ No log file is written.
■ Up to 1000 stage requests can be active at any one time.
The stager.cmd file enables you to specify directives to override the default
behaviors. You can configure the stager to stage files immediately, to never stage
files, to specify partial staging, and to specify other staging actions. The never-stage
capability can be used, for example, by applications that randomly access small
records from large files; when this is enabled, the data is accessed directly from the
archive media without staging the file online.
