Administrative Tasks
5-12 Archive Operations 601354 Rev A
For a DataShelf archive, the AO places each medium into a
specific bin. The Stage archive is unstructured and requires that
the AO locate the media to be entered and acknowledge the
command.
Eject Media
The Manual Archive Eject operation is analogous to the
Automatic Archive Eject operation with one exception. The AO
does not remove media from an unload port for either manual
archive type.
For a DataShelf archive, the AO removes each medium from a
specific bin. The Stage archive is unstructured and requires that
the AO locate the media to be ejected and acknowledge the
command.
Mount Media
All manual archive media mounts are performed by the AO.
Refer to the Using the VolServ GUI book for a detailed
procedure.
Dismount Media
All manual archive media dismounts are performed by the AO.
Refer to the Using the VolServ GUI book for a detailed
procedure.
Audit
As with an automated archive, the AUDIT button is selected
whenever a suspected discrepancy occurs between the actual
inventory of media and the inventory contained in the VolServ
database.
Unlike the automated archive, VolServ software generates an
inventory list of media contained in its database for that archive.
The AO then visually verifies the audit list. Any discrepancies
found must be resolved by the AO.
