Create a Storage Domain
8.
Optionally, select the
Media Ejection Allowed
check box to enable media ejection options
for the storage domain. Clear the check box to disallow media ejection for the storage
domain.
Note:
This setting only applies to tape media.
If you select to allow media ejection, configure the following options:
a.
Select or clear options for auto media ejection.
•
Auto Eject on Job Completion
— select this option to have the system
automatically eject tape(s) when a job completes.
•
Auto Eject on Job Cancel
— select this option to have the system automatically
eject tape(s) when a user cancels a job.
•
Auto Eject on Media Full
— select this option to have the system automatically
eject tape(s) when a tape is full.
Note:
If you select for media to automatically eject when the media is full, you can
optionally configure the
Auto Eject Media Full Threshold
, which determines when
the system marks a piece of media as full, and queues the piece of media for
ejection. Select the desired unit size from the drop-down menu and enter a
numerical value for the media full threshold in the text box to the left of the unit
size drop-down menu.
b.
Using the
Auto Eject Verify Task Priority
drop-down menu, select a task priority for
tapes to be verified when they are automatically ejected. Selecting
None
means that
the system does not verify tapes before ejecting them.
c.
Select or clear the
Scheduled Auto Eject
check box. If enabled, this option
automatically ejects all tape media on a set schedule. Use the instructions below to
configure either hourly, weekly, or daily automatic tape ejection.
Note:
Scheduled Auto Eject
operates independently from the condition-based auto eject
options discussed in
. For example, if you select to have tape
media auto eject when full, the system ejects a tape cartridge when it meets the
media full threshold. Additionally, when the scheduled auto eject is met, the
system ejects all tape cartridges, regardless of whether they have reached the
media full threshold.
Create an Hourly Schedule
i.
Select
Hourly
as the interval for the tape ejection schedule (see
).
ii.
Enter a number for
Every _ hours on the hour
. This value specifies the interval, in
hours, between ejecting tapes. For example, if this value is set to 4, the system
ejects tapes every four hours.
