Configuration
High Mark The high mark parameter is a user-specified percentage.
VolServ software applies the high mark percentage to the
archive media-type capacity to calculate a media-type specific
high mark threshold.
Any integer value between 0 and 100, inclusive, can be
specified as the high mark percentage. The specified high mark
percentage cannot be less than the specified low mark
percentage.
When the notify action mode option is specified, VolServ
software generates a message to both the Volume Server
SysLog Console and archive Console when the number of
media of the specified media type reaches the calculated high
mark threshold.
When the migrate action mode option is specified, VolServ
software automatically begins marking media for migration out
of the archive when the number of media of the specified media
type reaches the calculated low mark threshold.
Auto Check-in
The VolServ system provides the capability to check media out
of the system. This functionality is similar to checking a book
out of a public library. Although checked-out media are
physically located outside the control of the VolServ system,
VolServ maintains information on these media and identifies
them as checked-out.
If the VolServ system detects the physical presence of a
medium that is identified as checked-out, VolServ either
initiates the physical ejection of the medium from the VolServ
system or automatically checks the medium into the VolServ
system.
There are three operations that can detect the physical presence
of checked-out media: audit, unsolicited media enter, and enter.
