摘要：A technique is provided whereby a stream of data located in a first storagelocation is registered for migration administration and according to preset criteria,

portion(s) of the stream of data that are suited to another storage location are migratedto maximize system storage efficiencies. The file system may have use of facilities thatenable the monitoring of files/streams that have been registered for migration

administration or files/streams may be polled according to preset criteria. If the streamof data has portions to migrate to another storage location, the hierarchical storagemanagement (HSM) system migrates the data to the other storage location, such as tolong term or off-line storage, and preserves the data relationships of the stream viametadata. The technique allows for multiple volumes to be spanned by the migrationtarget location, and multiple file systems may service the source and target.
