RSM

(Windows specific term) Removable Storage Manager (RSM)

 

includes a media management service that facilitates

 

communication among applications, robotic changers, and

 

media libraries. It enables multiple applications to share local

 

robotic media libraries and tape or disk drives and to manage

 

removable media.

scan

A function that identifies the media in a device. This synchronizes

 

the MMDB with the media that are actually present at the

 

selected locations (for example, slots in a library).

scanning

A function which identifies the media in a device. This

 

synchronizes the MMDB with the media that are actually present

 

at the selected locations (for example, slots in a library). It is

 

useful to perform a scan and check the actual media in the

 

device if someone has manually manipulated media without

 

using Data Protector to eject or enter, for example.

Scheduler

A function that controls when and how often automatic backups

 

occur. By setting up a schedule, you automate the start of

 

backups.

secondary volume

(HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP specific term) secondary

(S-VOL)

volumes, or S-VOLs, are XP LDEVs that act as a secondary CA

 

or BC mirror of another LDEV (a P-VOL). In the case of CA,

 

S-VOLs can be used as failover devices in a MetroCluster

 

configuration. The S-VOLs are assigned separate SCSI

 

addresses, different from the addresses used by the P-VOLs.

session

See backup session,media management session, and restore

 

session.

session ID

An identifier of a backup, restore, object copy, object

 

consolidation, or media management session, consisting of the

 

date when the session ran and a unique number.

session key

This environment variable for the pre-exec and post-exec script

 

is a Data Protector unique identification of any session, including

 

preview sessions. The session key is not recorded in the

 

database, and it is used for specifying options for the omnimnt,

 

omnistat, and omniabort commands.
