Operational Modes

Operation of the Alternate Store Location feature requires that the main site, the remote site, and the network between them are up and running. Whenever all of these are brought on-line, file transfers will resume automatically after a brief pause, typically 20 seconds.

Operation can be suspended during periods as needed for system performance or other reasons by use of the fsschedlock command as described in section fsschedlock. When the lockout period ends, there may be a few minutes delay before file transfers resume. The delay is affected by the setting described in ALTSTORE_POLL_TIME.
