Requirements for Automated Media Pool
• The AMP feature requires a Partition license (see Enabling Licenses
on page 125).
• Multiple automated media pool partitions can exist. Since they are
library managed partitions, an AMP exists solely within the library
and is not accessible to hosts.
• You may have multiple AMP partitions. However, the total number
of standard and library managed partitions cannot exceed the
maximum of 16 partitions.
• All storage slots in the AMP partition must be licensed (via COD).
• AMP partitions do not contain drives.
Configure Automated Media Pool
To configure an AMP, you need to set up one or more AMP partitions
from which to draw media and optional magazine assignments. If you
want to use magazine assignments, you must also configure magazine
extensions in one or more standard partitions.
• Create an AMP Partition on page 275
• Create Magazine Extensions in Standard Partitions on page 276
• Configure AMP Import Policies on page 277
• Configure AMP Auto Export Policies on page 277
