3-16 Initial Configuration 601354 Rev A
Shelves within a DataShelf archive are numbered within Row.
For example, if a DataShelf archive has three rows with four
shelves per row, the shelves are labeled sequentially as follows:
Row 1 Shelf 1, …, Row 1 Shelf4, Row 2 Shelf 1, … Row 2
Shelf 4, Row 3 Shelf 1, …, Row 3 Shelf 4.
First Fill
When the first fill mode option is specified, VolServ always
begins its scan for a shelf with available storage bins with the
first shelf in the archive, i.e. Row 1 Shelf 1.
Wrap
When the wrap fill mode is specified, VolServ software begins
its scan for a shelf with an available storage bin with the shelf
immediately after the shelf just filled. For example, if the last
assigned bin was in Row 2 Shelf 3, the next shelf scanned is
Row 2 Shelf 4.
If VolServ does not find an available storage bin by the time it
has scanned the last physical shelf in the archive (Row 3 Shelf
4), the search for an available storage bin wraps to the first
physical shelf in the archive (Row 1 Shelf 1). VolServ software
continues scanning the shelves sequentially until a shelf with an
available storage bin is found.
Media Type
The manual archives support up to 16 user-defined media types
in addition to the system-defined media types that are supported
by the automated archives.
A user-defined media type must be defined to the VolServ
system (refer to “Define a Media Type” on page 3-18) before it
can be specified as a supported media type for a manual archive.
Capacity The capacity of a Stage archive is entered during the
configuration of the archive. The capacity of a Shelf archive can
be modified by reconfiguring the archive.
