Command Format:

mig[rate] [-h] [- L level | -l level] [-F | -f] [-P | -p] [-R] path ...

Options:

-h : if specified, treats symlinks as normal files. Default is to skip symlinks

-l : specifies hierarchy level from which to migrate data. The valid range is 0 (default) to 4

-F : force migration even if not needed

-P : purge file from disk cache after migration

Usage Notes:

If -F (force) is specified, the affected file(s) will be migrated regardless of normal disk residency criteria.

The underlying HPSS call applies only to open files, so note that each file to be migrated by this command will need to be opened. Use recursion and wildcards sparingly.

Example:

migrate -F my_file
