The Media Management Process Deleting Schedules To delete a schedule, you must first ensure that any VCD and rotation for the schedule have been deleted. In the left pane of the MM Admin window, under the Schedule object, select the specific schedule you want to delete, right-click, and select Delete. When the confirmation appears, click OK. Selecting Tape Volumes To assign media to vaults you must specify a VCD and rotation. You can select a media pool, file name, or an individual media for the controlling data set. When this data set is vaulted, its tape volume set is placed in slots in the vault. The assignment of slot numbers is based on the rotation records you defined. Creating a Vault Criteria Descriptor (VCD) After you have created a schedule, you must describe the rules for media selection by creating a VCD. To do this, in the left pane of the MM Admin window, under the Schedule object, select the Vault Criteria Descriptor object, right-click, and select Create. The Create Vault Criteria Descriptor dialog appears. Choose one of these options: ■ To use a media pool name as the controlling data set, enter the name of the media pool or use the drop-down list to select a media pool name from the pool list. Only the media within the Save Set of the media pool can be vaulted. The media in the Scratch Set cannot be vaulted. ■ To use a file name as the controlling data set, select the File Name option and enter the host name and the full path and file name from your backup, such as /opt/doc/readme.txt, in the appropriate fields. Browse through the Database or Restore Manager to obtain path or file information. MM will find the last tape used for the backup of this directory or file. ■ If you want to use an individual media as the controlling data set, select the Assign by User option. This is useful in emergencies when you need to use a specific tape. If you use this option, you must use the command line utility ca_mmo -assign to specify a particular tape. See The ca_mmo Command in this chapter for more information about command line utilities for media management. Click Add to save the VCD and add it to the Vault Criteria Descriptor branch in the MM Admin window. 7-32 Administrator Guide
