Resolving Orphaned Stub Files

An orphaned stub file is a stub file for which a corresponding migrated file in storage is not located. If orphaned stub files exist in your file systems, the HSM client records information about these files in the orphan.stubs file during reconciliation. If you set the errorprog option in your dsm.sys file, a message is sent to the program that you specified with this option during automatic reconciliation.

Possible situations in which stub files might become orphaned include the following:

To check for orphaned files, specify yes on the checkfororphans option in your dsm.sys file. When orphaned files are located, their names are recorded in the .SpaceMan/orphan.stubs file. If you select yes, a full file system tree traversal is performed. In this instance, you cannot run the dsmautomig command in parallel with the dsmreconcile command.
