By default, the unavailable jobs on the destination copy with status To Be Copied or Partial are disabled for Auxiliary Copy and marked as aged, if those jobs meet the retention criteria defined on the destination copy.
However, for upgraded CommServe, to disable the jobs for auxiliary copy that meets the retention criteria, you need to enable Disable jobs for Auxiliary Copy that met its retention parameter.
Note: For spool copy, if jobs are marked disabled for copy by data aging on the destination copy, jobs on the source spool copy will not be aged. You need to manually delete the jobs from source spool copy. See Delete a Job from the Copy for instructions.
Procedure
-
On the ribbon of the CommCell Console, click the Storage tab, and then click Media Management.
-
On the Data Aging tab of the Media Management Configuration dialog box, in the Disable jobs for Auxiliary Copy that met its retention box, specify 0 to disable or 1 to enable the parameter.
Default: 1 (enables the parameter).
When parameter is disabled, all jobs available on source copy are copied to destination copies, even if retention is met on the destination copies. Those jobs are pruned only when they are available on the destination copy.
-
Click OK.
Result
When the Disable jobs for Auxiliary Copy that met its retention parameter is enabled:
-
When the Data Aging job is run, the jobs that are unavailable on the destination copy, with status as To Be Copied or Partial, changes to Do Not Copy. The status is changed only if those jobs meet the retention criteria defined on the destination copy.
-
If the Enable Managed Disk Space option is enabled on the destination copy, then the managed disk space option applies only to jobs that are available on the destination copy.
-
If there are multiple storage policy copies (Primary, sec01, sec02, and sec03) configured on a storage policy, and if one of the secondary copy (sec01) is source to other secondary copy (sec02), and if one of the job meets the retention criteria defined on the source copy (sec01) but not on the destination copy (sec02), then that job will not be disabled for Auxiliary Copy (marked as Do Not Copy), until it meets the retention criteria defined on the destination copy (sec02).
For example:
-
On the storage policy, you have three copies configured with different retention criteria.
Primary Copy (2 days, 2 cycles), Secondary Copy (sec01 – 0 days, 1 cycle), Secondary Copy (sec02 – 1 day, 1 cycle).
-
On the primary copy Job1, Job2, Job3, and Job4 are available to copy during Auxiliary Copy job.
-
A secondary copy sec01 is configured as source to sec02.
-
Based on the retention criteria, for sec01 copy, if Job1, Job2, and Job3 meets the retention criteria, and for sec02 copy, Job1, and Job2 meets the retention criteria.
When the Data Aging job is run:
-
Only Job1 and Job2 will be disabled for Auxiliary Copy, that is, Job1 and Job2 are marked as Do Not Copy on sec01 and sec02 copies.
-
Though Job3 met the retention criteria on sec01 copy, Job3 will not be marked disabled for Auxiliary Copy because it has not met its retention on the destination copy sec02.
