Remove Blank Media | ADIC FileServ Version 4.0 600716 Rev A instruction

AdministrativeTasks

Checked-out blank media can be re-entered into the FileServ system using the fsmedin -rcommand. If the re-entry of the Checked-out media is no longer required, the fsrminfo command is used to remove all knowledge of the media from the FileServ system.

Caution

If you use the fsrminfo command to remove files, both the primary and secondary copies are removed. However, only the primary copy can be recovered.

Remove Blank Media

The fsmedout -bcommand allows removal of blank media. The media specified in the fsmedout command is logically removed from FileServ, then physically removed from the storage subsystem by the VolServ operator after performing an Eject function.

The issuer of the fsmedout request is notified that the operation is successful when the logical remove is complete. If media (specified for removal) is not found or does not fit the criteria specified in the options on the command, a message is returned for that media and the process continues for the remaining media specified.

After media is assigned to a DataClass group for file storage, it stays assigned to that DataClass group, even when all of the files on the media are deleted. The media reverts back to a blank status (depending on the cleanup action specified for the DataClass group). The fsmedout command removes blank media from the general blank pool or blanks allocated to a specific DataClass group.
