DS8000 Transparent Cloud Tiering

We have recently started testing HSM migrates and have been issuing some manual migrates.  At this time we have 116 objects and it appears there are 2 containers with the following SYSZARC.ARCPLEXT.MIG.2023093.xxxxxxxx, but both containers appear to be empty.  According to the redbook in order to list the prefix of the objects you have to include the cloud name and container, so I'm trying to understand why these objects are not going to the containers.  I even tried an hsend migrate with the cloud name and container name but nothing happened.  I'm thinking it's because we are doing this testing manually and do not have it setup in the parms yet.

I was able to display the cloud and one container and found that it had some prefixes in it.  Although I can't equate the number of objects to the number of prefixes, but assume that each prefix contains several objects.  In the MI for the 7700 however when I look at the the cloud and drill down to the container I see nothing in objects as far as objects.  It's not 0 but it's just blank, and as far as space it 0 GB.  I'm thinking it has to show at least 1 GB before it shows anything but don't know.

Hi John, 

This is a known issue and the TS7700 development team has a defect open for this.

Hi John,

I recommend using the Host commands to view the containers and objects.  The HSM LIST CLOUD(cloud_name) will list all of the containers in the specified cloud.  Then issue the LIST CLOUD(cloud_name) CONTAINTER(container_name) to list all of the object prefixes in a container.  You can then issue LIST CLOUD(...) CONTAINTER(...) OBJECT(obj_prefix) to list all of the objects with that prefix.  Note that with HSM, the containers are managed entirely within HSM.  You cannot direct a migration to a particular container, only to a particular cloud.  The HSM AUDIT of a Cloud will do a bi-directional verification of the HSM CDS records and the objects in a cloud.
