Functins
The sum of all archive media class capacities can exceed the
archive’s physical ability to house media. If VSID_CAPACITY
values are set unrealistically high and VSID_HIGH_MARK is
similarly high, the archive may physically completely fill
before any automigration procedure is triggered.
Components listed as preferred for storage of media of this
MediaClass group do not have exclusive ownership of those
components.
The total length of time the API software waits for a command
status in synchronous mode from VolServ is
(VSID_RETRY_LIMIT plus 1) multiplied by
VSID_TIMEOUT_VALUE.
If the VSID_ENTERPRISE_ID parameter is set to any value
other than zero, final status for this request is returned to the
enterprise registered with VolServ.
When the API software is operating in asynchronous mode,
client software must call VS_Select to receive final status on
a Modify Archive Media Class request submitted through the
API interface to the VolServ system.
Two levels of default parameter settings are used in the API
software—global defaults and command-specific defaults.
• Global defaults for all commands are initialized at startup
and can be set or retrieved using VS_Global_SetFields
and VS_Global_GetFields function calls.
