Configuration
Archive Console
Display Host
This parameter determines where the archive Console displays.
After an archive is configured and registered with VolServ, the
archive Console displays at the specified location, refer to the
Start-up and Shutdown chapter for an example of an archive
Console. This archive Console example is for an AML/E
archive. All archive Console displays are similar.
The archive Console alerts the VolServ Archive Operator (AO)
when human intervention is required for media movement
operations. For example, the Check-out Media, Export Media,
and Move Media operations require that a medium or media be
ejected (physically removed) from an archive. The Move Media
operation further requires that the ejected medium or media be
entered into another archive. Also, the Mount Media operation
can require that a medium be ejected from one archive and
entered into another archive for mounting on a specific drive.
Archive Mode The archive mode parameter indicates whether a human is
available to perform media eject and enter operations for the
archive. There are two archive mode settings: attended and
unattended.
Attended
The archive mode attended option indicates that a human is
available to perform media eject and enter operations prompted
by the archive Console.
Unattended
If the archive mode unattended option is selected, VolServ
software fails commands that require human intervention to
move media out of or into an archive. These commands are the
Check-out Media, Export Media, Move Media, and (sometimes)
Mount Media associated commands.
