Create a Media Class

After an archive is successfully configured and registered with VolServ, at least one Media Class must be created. Media Classes are created using the Create Media Class command.

Media Classes provide logical organization of media into smaller groups. For more information about Media Classes, refer to the VolServ Overview manual.

Media Classes are central building blocks to media class and media type migration processes. They are also used by one of the optional forms of the Mount Media command.

Note

VolServ has to be running to create a Media Class.

VolServ software acquires media class parameters via the GUI and API. Basic Media Class parameters consist of the class name, media type used, class capacity, mountable by class option, high mark, notification comment, use callbacks option, and callback information.

Media Classes have several important characteristics:

When a medium is entered into an archive, it is also entered into a Media Class. The medium can be in one, and only one, Media Class.

Once a medium in entered into a group, it can only be moved into another group by the Reclassify Media command or a Mount Media command with the reclassify option selected.

Only one media type can exist within a group.

Media Classes can be associated with more than one archive.
