Managing the AMASS File System

volgroup

Assign a volume to one of the following groups:

•Numeric volume group numbered 1 through 2047

•Space pool

A volume with files on it cannot be assigned to the space pool (SP). When a volume group runs out of space AMASS assigns a compatible volume from the space pool to the out-of-space volume group so archiving can continue without interruption. Consequently, if your site uses different types of media, the space pool should contain a mixture of media.

•Cleaning group

Cleaning cartridges are assigned to the cleaning group (CL).

Note

If a library automatically performs drive cleaning, do not configure a cleaning volume group in AMASS.

•Media verification group

A volume assigned to the media verification (MV) volume group consists of media verified by a third party to be “good” for the AMASS Infinite File Life (IFL) optional feature. For more information about IFL, refer to the “Infinite File Life” manual.

Tip

For a definition of volume groups, see “Volume Groups

Defined” on page 1-13.
