Normal Operation
Appropriate labels must be affixed to all media to be imported.
A GUI option imbedded in the Import window allows the SA
or SO to print multiple barcode media labels or human-readable
paper labels at one time. The Reprint Media Label command
can also be used to print individual barcode labels. See “Reprint
a Media Label” on page 4-37 for more information.
Basic import parameters consist of import media identifier,
destination archive, destination media class, and priority. The
priority is used to determine the command location in VolServ
command queue.
Optional parameters are manufacturer and batch text entries. No
format requirement exists, other than length. If one is specified,
the other also must be specified.
A media identifier can be any pattern of characters or integers.
Each one should be unique. Previously-defined label patterns
can be used during an Import operation to generate unique,
sequential media identifiers. Refer to “Define a Label Pattern”
on page 3-34 for more information. These identifiers can also
be directed to a barcode label printer.
An example of loading blank media is to import the media into
a blank archive media class. When necessary, the Reclassify
Media command can be used to move blank media into another
archive media class. Using the Reclassify Media command in
this way does not require additional handling of the media.
Refer following figure. Of course, media can be imported
directly into any archive media class unless the archive, media
class, or archive media class capacities are reached.
