This issue has been solved. See solution.

Does EV FSA support storage tiering of in-house application? Let's say it's document management application which try to open and read document file (.tif, .pdf and others). I'm not sure that if the application try to open the file such as fopen(), they will open the file that linked or open the link file itself?

Why not, it will recall file

Why not, it will recall file before the fopen() or whatever syscall you'r using. Why don't you want to test it?

We have many customers with

We have many customers with applications sitting on top of FSA archived data. As long as the app is issuing regular file open requests, FSA will honour them. The application may need to wait a little longer for the file to come back, but there should be no problems in getting it back. You should test in a lab to be 100% sure if you have those facilities.

So I will ask our team to do joint testing.
