Initial 
Configuration
If the auto import option is enabled, VolServ automatically 
enters intransit media (refer to the glossary). 
If the auto import option is not enabled, VolServ initiates 
the ejection of the unknown media from the VolServ system 
by placing the media on the archive eject list. In the 
DataTower, the media thus found are also moved to the 
eject port. 
Auto Import During 
Unsolicited Media 
Enter
The DataTower archive supports the unsolicited enter of media 
into DataTower archive. An unsolicited media enter operation 
is performed without VolServ system GUI interaction. 
During an unsolicited media enter operation, media are placed 
in the DataTower load port, followed by pushing a button above 
the load port. The archive robot reads the media labels and 
sends the media identifiers to VolServ. If any of the media in 
the entry port are unknown to VolServ or are in the intransit 
state, the setting of the auto import parameter determines the 
action taken by VolServ.
If the auto import option is enabled, VolServ automatically 
imports the unknown or intransit media into the VolServ 
system. The automatically imported media are assigned the 
target Media Class, manufacturer name, and batch identifier 
specified during archive configuration or reconfiguration. 
If the auto import option is enabled, VolServ automatically 
enters intransit media (refer to the glossary) if the subject 
DataTower archive contains the target media class. 
Note
Unknown media located in the DataTower archive during an 
audit operation are moved to the eject port.
