[. . . ] At some time, a media class may no longer be necessary based on its usage within the context of the VolServ system. When this happens, it can be deleted using the delete media class command. However, the archive media class with which the media class is associated must first be deleted. The create, modify, and delete media class associated commands are available via the GUI and API. Create/Modify an Archive Media Class An archive media class can be added or modified at any time. The create archive media class command is covered in the initial configuration section of this manual. After a new archive media class is created, media can be explicitly moved into it using the import media, move media, and reclassify media associated commands. Media can also be implicitly moved into a new archive media class via the audit and unsolicited enter operations. Population via these two operations occurs only if the new archive media class is named as the target class for auto import. The reconfigure archive command can be used to name the new class as the auto import target. Normal Operation 6-01003-01 Rev A Normal Operations 4-9 Administrative Tasks Using the Modify Archive Media Class command, all archive media class parameters defined during archive media class creation may be modified. The Create and Modify Archive Media Class associated commands are available via the GUI and API. Delete an Archive Media Class When an archive media class is no longer needed, the Delete Archive Media Class command permits disassociation of a Media Class from an archive. It may also be necessary to reassign a Media Class to a different archive. When this occurs, an archive media class association can be deleted using the Delete Archive Media Class command. However, all media must first be moved out of the archive media class. The Reclassify Media and Move Media associated commands can be used to move media. The Export Media command can also be used, but the media and its media information is totally removed from the VolServ system. The Delete Archive Media Class command is available via the GUI and API. Define Media Migration Policy Media migration policy is the combined effect of media class and media type migration. Refer to "Media Class Migration" on page 3-27 and "Media Class Migration" on page 3-27 for a description of the two varieties of media migration. Refer to the figure on the following page to see an example of migration class migration, suppose Media Class Group A is associated with Archive X, Archive Y, and Archive Z. Assume that the following parameters were defined during archive configuration, media class creation, and archive media class association: · Media Class Group A has a capacity of 200 4-10 Normal Operations 6-01003-01 Rev A Administrative Tasks · · · · · · 40 percent of Media Class Group A is associated with Archive X 40 percent of Media Class Group A is associated with Archive Y 20 percent of Media Class Group A is associated with archive Z High mark and low mark for Archive Media Class AX is 80percent and 60 percent, respectively High mark and low mark for Archive Media Class AY is 70 percent and 60 percent, respectively Migration archives are defined such that migration proceeds from left to right(i. e. , from AX to AY to AZ). X Y Z Media Class Group A Direction of Migration When the Archive Media Class AX fill level reaches the high mark threshold of 64 media (= 200 * 0. 40 * 0. 80 = Media Class Group A capacity * Archive Media Class AX % * Archive Media Class AX high mark %), migration begins. Migration continues Normal Operation 6-01003-01 Rev A Normal Operations 4-11 Administrative Tasks until the Archive Media Class AX fill level reaches the low mark threshold of 48 media (= 200 * 0. 40 * 0. 60 = Media Class Group A capacity * Archive Media Class AX % * Archive Media Class AX low mark %). Now assume that the Archive Media Class AY fill level was at the low mark threshold of 48 media (= 200 * 0. 40 * 0. 60).
