Archive with
VolS erv
After an archive is successfully configured, it must be
registered with VolServ. This is done via two methods:
Cycle VolServ; for information see “Gracefully Terminate
VolServ” on page 2-9 and see “Start Up VolServ” on page 2-3.
Perform an archive reconfiguration without changing any
archive parameters. Refer to the Using the VolServ GUI manual
for specific information concerning this method.
Define a Media
Type
When the default media types supported by VolServ software
are not sufficient, a new media type may be defined and
registered with VolServ using the
Media Type…/Define GUI window.
VolServ software acquires media type parameters via the GUI.
Basic media type parameters consist of the media type name,
number of sides, and capacity in megabytes.
Once specified, newly defined media types may be selected
during configuration of a manual archive. The list of media
types allowed for automated archive configuration is controlled
by VolServ software.
Note
Media types cannot be deleted. They may be defined or redefined.
