Normal Operation
• The target archive must be configured with the auto
check-in and auto import options selected. If not, all the
subject media are left in the load port and a failure message
is logged and displayed at the Volume Server System
console.
• The auto import destination media class (set up during
archive configuration) must have a capacity low enough to
allow addition of more media. Excess media are left in the
load port and a failure message is logged and displayed at
the Volume Server System console.
Destination media class capacity - Fill level = Amount of media that can be entered
• The receiving archive media class fill level must be low
enough to allow addition of more media. Excess media are

Enter Known Media into an Archive
All media can be classified as known or unknown. Unknown
media were never introduced into a VolServ system or were
removed using the Export Media command. Known media are
contained in an archive, are checked out using the Check-out
Media command, or are intransit to another archive as a result
of a Move Media command, Mount Media command, or media
migration.
Two basic ways to reenter known media into an archive are: the
Check-in Media command and the unsolicited enter and
AutoEnter methods.
