Recalling Your Migrated Files

To return a migrated file to your workstation, access the file in the same way as you would access a file that resides on your local file system. The HSM recall daemon automatically recalls the migrated file from TSM storage. This process is referred to as transparent recall. If you want to return specific migrated files to your local file system, use selective recall. When you selectively recall a file, the HSM client stores it to its originating file system.

Whenever you recall a file to your local file system, the access time (atime) for the file changes to the current time unless you set the timestamp control mode on the dsmmode command to preserve the last recorded access time for your file.

This chapter discusses both transparent recall and selective recall.
