The HSMS administrator has a range of tasks to perform during operation. Some of these tasks have already been described in "HSMS archives" and "HSMS functions", e.g. the creation of default system archives and the definition of tape sessions.
The present chapter describes a number of additional tasks. These tasks include dividing the pubsets into a storage hierarchy according to the requirements of the system involved.
This chapter also contains a description of migration control, because the control options for this function are extremely varied. Management of the migration archives in particular requires a great deal of effort on the part of the HSMS administrator (unlike the other basic functions). Moreover, the relationship between data backup and migration is discussed.
Aspects of data privacy are addressed in a separate section.
This chapter concludes with an example. It explains how to set up a storage hierarchy and how to create and allocate system archives for a BS2000 configuration.
