Reconcile
The Reconcile command request issues a direct request to ELS to run the RECONcil command. Reconcile performs cross-checks between the MVCs, VTVs, Storage Class, and Management Class definitions. VTVs are optionally moved from one Storage Class to another to reconcile VTV media and location.
Select Management and Reconcile on the navigation tree to display this pane.
Select the tapeplex to reconcile on the drop-down list.
Select one of the following to define which MVCs will be checked:
Reconcile by All MVCs
Click All MVCs to select all MVCs as reconciliation candidates.
MVCs can be further filtered to reconcile the following:
Reconcile All VTVs in All MVCs
If Reconcile by All VTVs is also selected, All VTVs in All MVCs will be reconciled.
Select optional parameters:
-
MAXMVC: Specifies the maximum number of MVCs that will be processed by a single reconciliation task. Valid values are 1 to 98. If not specified the CONFIG RECLAIM value (or default) is used. This parameter is ignored if MOVEVTV is not specified.
-
ELAPSE: Specifies the maximum time for the reconciliation in minutes. Valid values are 1 to 1440. If not specified, there is no time limit on the reconciliation process. This parameter is ignored if MOVEVTV is not specified.
-
CONMVC: Specifies the maximum number of MVCs that VTCS concurrently processes during subsequent recall and migrate operations. Valid values are 1 to 99. If not specified the CONFIG RECLAIM value (or default) is used. This parameter is ignored if MOVEVTV is not specified.
-
MOVEVTV: Move VTVs per the currently active Management Policies as specified by the MGMTclas statements that apply to the VTVs. If you do not specify MOVEVTV, only a report is generated and no VTVs are moved.
Submit the request:
In the Run Command on field, select Any Host or Specific Host. If you select Specific Host, identify the host in the Server Address field.
Click SUBMIT to continue. A confirmation dialog box is displayed. Click YES to submit the request to the host, or click NO to return to the previous pane.
