Archive

When a site requires the addition of another archive, the operations are almost identical to the operations outlined in the initial configuration section of this chapter.

However, only certain archives may be configured. When VolServ software is installed, license strings are input that allow only specific archives to be configured. To add a new archive type, call ATAC to obtain a license string for that type of archive.

In the USA and Canada, call 1-800-827-3822.

Outside the USA and Canada, call 303-874-0188 or toll-free 00800-9999-3822.

ATAC support personnel will request the host identifier or CPU identifier when a new license string is required. Use the cpuid or hostid commands to obtain the necessary identifier.

Execute the mk_license utility to enter the license string using the following command line:

$VS_DIR/utilities/mk_license

Read the instructions provided on the terminal, exit the utility, and execute the command line using the proper arguments. Any additional steps are provided by ATAC.

An audit command is used for two reasons. One is to input relatively large amounts of media into an archive at one time. Refer to “Bulk Load Media” on page 4-27. It can also be used to verify consistency between an actual archive’s contents and the VolServ database inventory. Refer to “Audit” on page 5-7for more information about automated archive audits. Manual archive audits are detailed in “Audit” on page 5-12.
