Creating a schedule for a BasicDisk staging storage unit
When you configure a BasicDisk storage unit with disk staging, data is stored on the initial storage unit (disk staging storage unit). Then, per a configurable relocation schedule, data is copied to the final location. Having the images on the final destination storage unit frees the space on the disk staging storage unit as needed.
