Policy Description
Redirect exports to specific Active Vault. If you select this option, you must select an Active Vault
partition from the drop-down list.
All host-initiated export requests to move tapes from this
partition will redirect the tapes to the specified Active
Vault partition instead of the I/E station.
If desired, you can specify which media to move by typing
a value in the Filter Media field. For example, entering a
value of *123L4 will cause all media with barcodes
ending with 123L4 to be vaulted. Entering a value of
123* will cause all media with barcode starting with 123
to be vaulted.
Note: Only host-initiated export operations will be
redirected to the Active Vault. UI-initiated export
operations will still move tape cartridges to an I/E
element.
Redirect exports to application-defined
Active Vault.
If you select this option, you must select an external
application plug-in from the drop-down list.
When a host-initiated export operation occurs, the library
queries the selected external application for the name of
the vault that may be associated with the export
operation. If the name of the application-tracked vault
matches the name of one of the Active Vault partitions in
the library, the export request is re-directed to that Active
Vault partition. If the name of the application-tracked
vault does not match the name of an Active Vault
partition in the library, the export request will be directed
to the I/E element as specified by the host command.
Note: Only host-initiated export operations will be
redirected to the Active Vault. UI-initiated export
operations will still move tape cartridges to an I/E
element.
