Archive
Management
All archive management operations can be performed via the
GUI except where noted.
Configure/
Reconfigure an
Archive
An archive can be configured or reconfigured at any time. The
Configure Archive command is used to create an archive
definition and is covered in the initial configuration section of
this manual. Refer to “Configure an Archive” on page 3-3 for a
description of archive configuration.
The Reconfigure Archive command allows modification of
most parameters entered during archive configuration. One
exception is the media type entry that is input when an archive
is configured. Modifying the media type could affect the
archive media classes associated with an archive.
Delete an
Archive
If a specific archive is no longer needed, the Delete Archive
command permits removal of an archive from a VolServ
system. An archive can be deleted easily because it contains no
media, but it can also be removed if media are contained in it.
The ability to delete an archive with media in it depends on the
value of the DELETE_ARCHIVE_WITH_MEDIA environment
variable. When set to N, any archive containing media can be
deleted. When set to Y, the value of the
DELETE_ARCHIVE_MEDIA_ACTIONSTATE environment
variable determines how media are to be handled when a
populated archive is deleted.
Refer to the table in “Configuration Environment” on page 1-17
for information about these environment variables.
