NORETRIEVEDATE

Specifies that TSM does not update the retrieve date of a file in a disk storage pool when a client restores or retrieves the file. This option and the MIGDELAY storage pool parameter control when TSM migrates files. If you do not specify NORETRIEVEDATE, TSM migrates files after they have been in the storage pool for the number of days specified by the MIGDELAY parameter. The number of days is counted from the day that the file was stored in the storage pool or retrieved by a client, whichever is more recent. If you specify NORETRIEVEDATE, TSM does not update the retrieve date of a file, and the number of days is counted from the day the file entered the disk storage pool.

If you specify this option and caching is enabled for a disk storage pool, reclamation of cached space is affected. When space is needed in a disk storage pool that contains cached files, TSM gets the space by selectively erasing cached copies. Files that have the oldest retrieve dates and occupy the largest amount of space are selected for removal. When you specify NORETRIEVEDATE, TSM does not update the retrieve date when a file is retrieved. This may cause cached copies to be removed even though they have recently been retrieved by a client.
