Applying tiering policies
After you have defined a tiering policy group, you must apply the defined tiering policies to the storage
system. To apply tiering policies, use the KTLOAD command to load the configuration files to the REXX
variable structure, and then execute the KTACTTPG command.
Figure 23 Applying tiering policies
Prerequisites
• Creating a tiering policy group definition file
To apply tiering policies:
1. Execute the KTLOAD command.
Target volume information and information about the tiering policies defined in configuration
files is loaded from the configuration files to the REXX variable structure.
2. Execute the KTACTTPG command.
The data set in the REXX variable structures is applied to the storage system.
Reference scripts
For details about how to create the script, see sample script KTDEMO10.
Example:
The code in this example applies the tiering policies of tiering policy groups TPG1 and TPG2 to the
storage system.
CALL KTLOAD "STEM(stem1.) MSG(msgstem.) PREFIX(PREFIX1) TPG(TPG1)";
CALL KTACTTPG "STEM(stem1.) MSG(msgstem.)";
CALL KTLOAD "STEM(stem2.) MSG(msgstem.) PREFIX(PREFIX1) TPG(TPG2)";
CALL KTACTTPG "STEM(stem2.) MSG(msgstem.)";
