The GFS/SOM architecture is centered around two primary modules: the Optimization Module and the Migration Module. The Optimization Module intercepts dataset write operations and caches data on disk before writing to tape. This module interacts with the z/OS system to manage the caching process and optimize tape usage.
The Migration Module facilitates the movement of datasets between different tape storage technologies. This module interacts with the z/OS system to manage the migration process. There are no external APIs.
The system uses z/OS system calls for communication. Configuration is managed through JCL and system configuration files. Monitoring and logging are provided through z/OS system logs.
The primary administrative interface is through z/OS system commands and utilities. User management is handled through z/OS security features. The system does not use any specific databases or storage mechanisms beyond the z/OS file system and tape drives.
There are no specific port or network requirements.
