Sharing a Library Between Applications

1When you match hardware devices to their correct slots on the Matched Devices With Slots screen (you will see this screen during the execution of Step 4 of the Configuration Wizard, Add Tape Drive), only configure the tape drives that your software application will use. You do not need to configure all tape drives listed as part of the library.

2Once the tape drives are added and configured in Step 4 of the CW (Add Tape Drive), but before continuing to Step 5 of the CW (Add Media), go to a metadata controller and perform these steps:

aChange directory to the config directory. Type: cd /usr/adic/MSM/internal/config

bList all files in the config directory. Type: ls -l

cUsing a text editor, edit the media_file_<library_name> file. For example:

vi media_file_<library_name>

The media_file contains a filter for barcode labels that are read by StorNext. This action is performed by using regular expressions. (A regular expression provides a mechanism to select strings from a set of character strings. In the above example, the character strings refer to the barcode labels.) In the example above, <library_name> is the library that was configured in Step 3, Add Library, of the CW.

dSet up the pattern matching of the media file.

Multiple entries may exist in the media file. Read the examples in the file to learn how to set up pattern matching.

These are examples of pattern matching:

scsi_archive 1111.. (brings in all media with the 1111 prefix)

scsi_archive AB9... (brings in all six-character media labels with the AB9 prefix)

scsi_archive CLN1.. (brings in all media that have the CLN1 prefix)

3Continue to the Add Media section of the Configuration Wizard.
