The Media Management Process Vaults Creating Vaults The vault cycle generates the Shipping and Receiving Reports, listing the old and new locations of the tape volume set, to provide you with the information you need to manage your media. These reports provide the following information: ■ Shipping Report-tells you what media to pull manually, and where to send it. ■ Shipping Content Report-lists all tape volumes and sessions in each tape volume to be pulled from each of the vaults. ■ Receiving Report-tells you what media will be coming in to each particular vault. ■ Receiving Content Report-lists all tape volumes and sessions in each tape volume to be distributed to the vaults. If you want to send the shipping and receiving reports to someone by email, make sure your system is configured to send alerts using Microsoft Exchange and, from the Configuration menu, enable the option Send the report by E-mail. For more information on configuring alerts, see the chapter "Using the Alert Manager." When a tape volume comes under Media Management control, Tape Service updates the tape volume's location status to OFF_SITE. To prevent a tape volume from being used while under Media Management control, the tape volume is automatically checked out, and the location is updated to reflect this. Because all vaulted tape volumes are placed in checked out status, if you need to retrieve tape volumes, they must be checked into Tape Service before they can be used. The first step in establishing a vaulting policy is to create a vault. You can create vaults using MM Admin. To create a new vault, right-click the Vault object to access the pop-up menu and select Create. When the Create Vault dialog appears, enter a name and description for the new vault. Select the Use in Local option if this vault will not be moved to another location. If the tape volumes in this vault are to be maintained off site, do not select this option. Click Add to save and add the vault to the Vault branch in the MM management window. 7-30 Administrator Guide
