Managing the AMASS File System
Create File System Organization
The following tasks are presented as guidelines only since the actual setup required for your specific site is unique.
Step 1. Decide how you want to organize the AMASS file system. For example, what directories should be under the /archive mount point?
Step 2. Set permissions for these directories to allow clients to access the file system.
AMASS supports read and write permissions only;
Access Control Lists (ACLs) are not supported.
Step 3. Decide if you want to apportion media into volume groups to keep project data or department data together on a specified number of volumes. For information, see “Volume Groups Defined” on Page
Step 4. Load media and create entries in the AMASS File System Database for all your media. For instructions, see “Create Entries in Database for Your Media” on Page
Step 5. See “Assign Directory to a Volume Group” on Page
Step 6. Decide if you want to have a volume group for cleaning cartridges. For instructions, see “Create a Cleaning Volume Group” on Page
