Shelves within a DataShelf archive are numbered within Row. 
For example, if a DataShelf archive has three rows with four 
shelves per row, the shelves are labeled sequentially as follows: 
Row 1 Shelf 1, …, Row 1 Shelf4, Row 2 Shelf 1, … Row 2 
Shelf 4, Row 3 Shelf 1, …, Row 3 Shelf 4.
First Fill
When the first fill mode option is specified, VolServ always 
begins its scan for a shelf with available storage bins with the 
first shelf in the archive, i.e. Row 1 Shelf 1.
Wrap
When the wrap fill mode is specified, VolServ software begins 
its scan for a shelf with an available storage bin with the shelf 
immediately after the shelf just filled. For example, if the last 
assigned bin was in Row 2 Shelf 3, the next shelf scanned is 
Row 2 Shelf 4.
If VolServ does not find an available storage bin by the time it 
has scanned the last physical shelf in the archive (Row 3 Shelf 
4), the search for an available storage bin wraps to the first 
physical shelf in the archive (Row 1 Shelf 1). VolServ software 
continues scanning the shelves sequentially until a shelf with an 
available storage bin is found.
Media Type
The manual archives support up to 16 user-defined media types 
in addition to the system-defined media types that are supported 
by the automated archives.
A user-defined media type must be defined to the VolServ 
system (refer to 
) before it 
can be specified as a supported media type for a manual archive.
Capacity
The capacity of a Stage archive is entered during the 
configuration of the archive. The capacity of a Shelf archive can 
be modified by reconfiguring the archive.
