3-4 Initial Configuration 601354 Rev A
Automated archives supported by VolServ include the
DataTower archive; the StorageTek ACS archive; the AML/2,
AML/E, and AML/J archive; and the ADIC Scalar 100, Scalar
1000, and Scalar 10K archives.
The manual archives supported by VolServ include the
DataShelf archive and the Stage archive.
Some of the configuration parameters required by VolServ are
archive-type dependent and are identified in the appropriate
section of the Using the VolServ GUI manual. The archive
parameters common to multiple archive types are discussed in
this chapter.
Except for the AML/E archive, configuration parameters can
only be input to VolServ via the Graphical User Interface
(GUI). An interactive script is executed to perform AML/E
archive configuration.
Configure an
Automated
Archive
Basic automated archive parameters include the archive type,
an archive name, the display host for the archive Console, the
archive mode, and the media type supported.
Archive Type The archive type parameter identifies the type of archive being
configured and enables VolServ to execute appropriate
archive-type specific logic. The valid archive types are
displayed on the Configure Archive window. The user selects
the appropriate type for the archive being configured.
Archive Name The archive name parameter is a user-specified name by which
the archive is known to the user. Valid archive names may
contain up to 16 characters, including spaces. Leading and
trailing spaces are not permitted.
