Auto Import During
Enter All archives support the enter operation. An enter operation is
performed via interaction of the AO with the appropriate
archive Console. For more information about the enter
operation, refer to “Enter Media” on Page 5-4.
When the AO performs an enter operation on automated
archives, 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.

automatically imported in to the VolServ system. The
automatically imported media are assigned the target Media

during archive configuration or reconfiguration.
• If the auto import option is enabled, VolServ automatically
enters intransit media (refer to the glossary) if the subject

actions that depend on the archive type. VolServ software:
