No software restriction is placed on the media class capacity.
Class capacity can exceed the total combined capacity of all
archives, or can be as small as one.
Although not necessary, there are two restrictions that should be
applied to Media Class capacities when media migration is
planned:
• Total capacity should equal the amount of bins in the
archives
• There should be no Media Class overlap
As an example, refer to the illustration shown above. Suppose
the Automated Archive and Manual Archive have 100 and 1000
bins, respectively. The Blank Media Class and the Media Class
capacities should total 1100.
Also, the Blank Media Classes should have a capacity less than
the Automated Archive capacity. The remaining Automated
Archive bins can then be associated with the Media Class
capacity.
