After a file is eligible for storage, the file data for the primary
copy is written to media. A volume is chosen for storage as
either a default for the DataClass group (specified when the
DataClass group is defined by the system administrator), or as a
media type specified by the user when the
fsstore command
is issued.
If storage of a secondary copy is requested, the file data is
copied to another media of the specified (or default) media type
for the DataClass group associated with the file. Secondary
copies are not placed on the same media as the primary copy.
If the DataClass group file cleanup parameter is set for
immediate truncation, the file data is truncated after all copies
have been stored.
Multiple storage requests queued for the same file are compared
for compatibility. The first request is always processed.
Subsequent storage requests are considered compatible when
the specified media type is the same and the specified cleanup
action is the same as the first request. When the requests are not
compatible, the requests are failed with an indication that an
incompatible store is already in progress.
Subsequent requests process the additional copies. All requests
are retained until the storage process is complete. When the
storage process is complete, all requests receive the same
completion indication.
