DISK_SYSPARM_MERGSORT_S

Description

Setting the sysparm MERGSORT to a value other than S causes Merge to sort the tapes to be processed by the volume serial number (VOLSER). Setting the sysparm MERGSORT to S allows Merge to process the ARCHVOLs according to the least space used rather than the alphanumeric VOLSER order and allows Merge to process more efficiently when smaller processing windows are needed. This exception will be cleared when this check runs again after the job causing the exception is changed and runs, or after the job statistics are older than the number of days specified in the AGE parameter for this health check. The default for the sysparm MERGSORT will be changed to S with the next release of CA Disk.

Best Practice

Set the sysparm MERGSORT to S to allow MERGE to process the ARCHVOLs according to the least space used rather than alphanumeric order. This setting allows MERGE to process more efficiently when smaller processing windows are needed.
