Initial Configuration

3-19

After an archive is successfully configured and registered with 
VolServ, at least one Media Class must be created. Media 
Classes are created using the Create Media Class command. 

Media Classes provide logical organization of media into 
smaller groups. For more information about Media Classes, 
refer to the VolServ Overview manual. 

Media Classes are central building blocks to media class and 
media type migration processes. They are also used by one of 
the optional forms of the Mount Media command. 

•

VolServ software acquires media class parameters via the 
GUI and API. Basic Media Class parameters consist of the 
class name, media type used, class capacity, mountable by 
class option, high mark, notification comment, use 
callbacks option, and callback information. 

•

Media Classes have several important characteristics: 

•

When a medium is entered into an archive, it is also entered 
into a Media Class. The medium can be in one, and only 
one, Media Class. 

•

Once a medium in entered into a group, it can only be 
moved into another group by the Reclassify Media 
command or a Mount Media command with the reclassify 
option selected. 

•

Only one media type can exist within a group. 

•

Media Classes can be associated with more than one 
archive. 

VolServ has to be running to create a Media Class.
