Setting Up a Move Policy to Move Full Volumes

In releases 7.2 and later, it is possible to set up a move policy to move full volumes through the move policy sequences. To accomplish this, the move policy needs to have *FULL for the Duration.

Example

Move policy . . . . . . . . . : AAAA
Home location . . . . . . . . . TAPMLB01     Name, *SYSPCY, *ORIGIN, F4 list
Use container . . . . . . . . . *NO          *YES, *NO
Verify moves . . . . . . . . . . *NO          *YES, *NO
Calendar for working days . . . *ALLDAYS     Name, *ALLDAYS, F4 for list
Calendar for move days . . . . . *ALLDAYS     Name, *ALLDAYS, F4 for list
Move marked for duplication . .   *NO          *NO, *YES
Text . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Type choices, press Enter.

Seq    Location      Duration    Container Action
   10    VAULT *FULL

20 VAULT *EXP

The behavior of media using the move policy named AAAA from the example above will be:

Full volumes are moved to the Location VAULT when media movement is performed.
Full volumes will remain at the Location VAULT until they expire.
When any volumes expire, they are moved to the Home location of TAPMLB01
