Delete a Media
Class
Media classes can be created, modified, or deleted at any time.
media class creation is covered in the initial configuration
section of this manual. Refer to “Create a Media Class” on
page 3-19 for a description of the create media class command.
Using the modify media class command, all media class
parameters defined during media class creation can be
modified, except for the media type used. No mixed media
types are allowed within a media class.
At some time, a media class may no longer be necessary based
on its usage within the context of the VolServ system. When
this happens, it can be deleted using the delete media class
command. However, the archive media class with which the
media class is associated must first be deleted.
The create, modify, and delete media class associated
commands are available via the GUI and API.
Create/Modify
an Archive
Media Class
An archive media class can be added or modified at any time.
The create archive media class command is covered in the
initial configuration section of this manual. Refer to “Create an
Archive Media Class” on page 3-24.
After a new archive media class is created, media can be
explicitly moved into it using the import media, move media,
and reclassify media associated commands.
Media can also be implicitly moved into a new archive media
class via the audit and unsolicited enter operations. Population
via these two operations occurs only if the new archive media
class is named as the target class for auto import. The
reconfigure archive command can be used to name the new
class as the auto import target.
