ADIC 601354 manual Enter Media

Administrative Tasks

	Many situations require the AO to perform media handling
	operations. Most media handling is required because of
	VolServ command execution, such as Import, Export,
	Check-in, Check-out, Move, or Mount Media commands.
	Media movement triggered by the media migration policy also
	requires that an AO perform media handling. Refer to “Define
	Media Migration Policy” on page 4-10. With some exceptions,
	the audit operation does not require media handling.
Enter Media	An AO is alerted that a medium or media must be entered into
	an archive when the ENTER button on the archive Console is
	highlighted. When the AO selects the highlighted option, an
	Enter window is displayed. Selecting the View/Fail button from
	this window displays the Enter list. The media on this list
	identifies each medium to be entered into the archive. Media are
	identified by media identifier, reason for the enter, previous
	archive location (if applicable), and priority.
	The AO then locates the media in the Enter list, places them in
	the automated archive load port, and completes the command.
	Refer to Using the VolServ GUI for specific procedures.
	It is best to think of the ENTER button on an archive Console
	as an indicator that media are on the Enter list. Five reasons
	exist that place media on the list: import, checkin, move, mount,
	and migrate.
	Media are placed on the Enter list as a direct result of the
	Import and Check-in Media commands. As soon as an Import
	and Check-in Media commands are executed, the identified
	media are placed on the Enter list and the ENTER button
	becomes highlighted.
