The following properties can be defined for volume sets of SM pubsets and individual volumes:
Availability and performance
Systems support ensures increased availability by, for example, using RAID systems or by means of mirroring. The performance profile is controlled by using caches.
Usage types:
Normal case (STD), the only possible usage type for control volume sets.
Work files (WORK).
HSMS usage at S1 level (HSMS-CONTROLLED)
Usage restrictions
With volume sets there are usage restrictions for creating files and processing files.
Allocation restrictions can be set for the various volumes of an SF pubset or a volume set.
Saturation threshold values for SF pubsets and volume sets
Several threshold values can be defined. When threshold values are reached, console messages are issued. In the case of higher threshold values, jobs may be rejected.
File services
Storage services (e.g. offered performance, availability) which are controlled with the help of storage classes and volume set lists.
HSMS management services (e.g. controlling file migration to background levels, controlling file backup settings) which are controlled with the help of HSMS.
