Archive Operations

601354 Rev A

For a DataShelf archive, the AO places each medium into a 
specific bin. The Stage archive is unstructured and requires that 
the AO locate the media to be entered and acknowledge the 
command. 

The Manual Archive Eject operation is analogous to the 
Automatic Archive Eject operation with one exception. The AO 
does not remove media from an unload port for either manual 
archive type. 

For a DataShelf archive, the AO removes each medium from a 
specific bin. The Stage archive is unstructured and requires that 
the AO locate the media to be ejected and acknowledge the 
command. 

All manual archive media mounts are performed by the AO. 
Refer to the Using the VolServ GUI book for a detailed 
procedure. 

All manual archive media dismounts are performed by the AO. 
Refer to the Using the VolServ GUI book for a detailed 
procedure. 

As with an automated archive, the AUDIT button is selected 
whenever a suspected discrepancy occurs between the actual 
inventory of media and the inventory contained in the VolServ 
database. 

Unlike the automated archive, VolServ software generates an 
inventory list of media contained in its database for that archive. 
The AO then visually verifies the audit list. Any discrepancies 
found must be resolved by the AO.
