Add Media to an
Archive
After at least one archive media class is successfully
configured, media can be entered into an archive. In fact,
normal operations cannot begin until media are entered into an
archive.
Four basic methods are used to add media to most automated
archives. These methods use the Import Media command
(refer to “Import Media into an Archive” on page 4-24),the bulk
load operation (refer to “Bulk Load Media” on page 4-27), the
unsolicited enter operation (refer to “Unsolicited Entry of
Known Media” on page 4-30), and the enter operation (refer to
“Enter Media” on page 5-4).
To enter media into a DataShelf or Stage archive, only the
Import Media command can be used.
When importing media into an archive, media labels must be
affixed to them. Refer to “Reprint a Media Label” on page 4-37
for more information. Also refer to “Import Media into an
Archive” on page 4-24.
The Import Media command is the preferred method to use
when entering relatively few media into an automated archive.
The bulk loading method is preferred if there are a relatively
large amounts of media to be entered. For specific automated
archives, the enter or unsolicited enter operations are allowed
by VolServ.
Note
VolServ has to be running to add media to an archive.
