Automatic reconciliation
The space management client automatically reconciles each file system for which space management is active. For example, when you modify or delete a migrated or premigrated file from your local file system, an obsolete copy of the file remains in storage. During automatic reconciliation, any obsolete copies of your migrated or premigrated files are marked for expiration.
To specify how often reconciliation runs, modify the setting on the reconcileinterval option in your dsm.sys options file. The default is every 24 hours.
You can specify how many days a migrated or premigrated file remains in Tivoli® Storage Manager server storage after you recall and modify or erase it from your local file system. Modify the setting on the migfileexpiration option in your dsm.sys options file. The default is 7 days. When the copies expire, they are removed from the server.

Note: Migration and recall processes update status information
dynamically. If any other process changes the state of a file, the
status file does not reflect the change until reconciliation is run.
