Operations
A comment field lists an optional comment for each medium.
The client defines these comments when the Export or
Check-out Media commands are executed. This field is not
applicable for Move or Mount Media commands.
Media on the Eject list can be removed by the AO. When the
highlighted EJECT button is selected, an Eject window is
displayed. Some or all of the media listed in the Eject window
can be selected. Selecting the Fail button removes the media on
the Eject list.
Commands can also be removed from the Eject list by the
VolServ System Administrator (SA) or VolServ System
Operator (SO). Refer to “Clear Eject List Entries” on page 4-33.
Audit Select the AUDIT button when a suspected discrepancy occurs
between the actual inventory of media in an archive and the
inventory contained in the VolServ database.
Two types of audit operations for automated archives include: a
Standard Audit and a Remap Audit. All automated archives
have a Standard Audit capability. The Remap Audit capability
is supported only by archives with their own internal databases
(DataTower, StorageTek ACS product family, and AML
archives).
When either type of audit completes, VolServ displays the audit
report on the archive Console. If errors are reported during the
audit, the SA or SO performs necessary cleanup actions and
performs a second audit. Refer to “Auto Check-in During
Audit” on page 3-10, “Auto Import During Audit” on
page 3-12, and “Audit an Archive” on page4-14 for more
detailed information about audit.
