Initial
Configuration
• If the auto import option is enabled, VolServ automatically
enters intransit media (refer to the glossary).
• If the auto import option is not enabled, VolServ initiates
the ejection of the unknown media from the VolServ system
by placing the media on the archive eject list. In the
DataTower, the media thus found are also moved to the
eject port.
Auto Import During
Unsolicited Media
Enter
The DataTower archive supports the unsolicited enter of media
into DataTower archive. An unsolicited media enter operation
is performed without VolServ system GUI interaction.
During an unsolicited media enter operation, media are placed
in the DataTower load port, followed by pushing a b utton abov e
the load port. The archive robot reads the media labels and
sends the media identifiers to VolServ. If any of the media in
the entry port are unknown to VolServ or are in the intransit
state, the setting of the auto import parameter determines the
action taken by VolServ.
• If the auto import option is enabled, VolServ automatically
imports the unknown or intransit media into the VolServ
system. The automatically imported media are assigned the
target Media Class, manufacturer name, and batch identifier
specified during archive configuration or reconfiguration.
• If the auto import option is enabled, VolServ automatically
enters intransit media (refer to the glossary) if the subject
DataTower archive contains the target media class.
Note
Unknown media located in the DataTower archive during an
audit operation are moved to the eject port.
