Media Migration
9
On the PowerVault DL Appliance that you wish to import the
tape media into, you must create an import media job to insert
media into your robotic library so that the Backup Exec database
is updated. The Backup Exec import media job fully supports
robotic libraries with portals. When this job is run, the slots you
selected are checked for media. If media is found, it is exported
to the portals. After all the media has been exported, you are
prompted to insert new media into the portal so it can be
imported. This process continues until all of the requested media
has been imported into the robotic library.
Before you create an import media job, note the following:
If the media does not have a bar code, when you
•
create the import job, you must select the option
Auto-inventory after import is completed.
If your robotic library uses a media magazine, make
•
sure no jobs are currently running and that all media
are ejected from the drive and are back in the
magazine slots before swapping the magazine.
You can select any number of slots to import.
You can monitor this job on the Job Monitor.
