Delete an
Archive Media
Class
When an archive media class is no longer needed, the Delete
Archive Media Class command permits disassociation of a
Media Class from an archive. It may also be necessary to
reassign a Media Class to a different archive. When this occurs,
an archive media class association can be deleted using the
Delete Archive Media Class command. However, all media
must first be moved out of the archive media class. The
Reclassify Media and Move Media associated commands can
be used to move media. The Export Media command can also
be used, but the media and its media information is totally
removed from the VolServ system.
The Delete Archive Media Class command is available via the
GUI and API.
