The MM Admin Interface The Schedule Object The Schedule object provides information about previously defined schedules and allows you to create new schedules. You must create a schedule before you define the Vault Criteria Descriptor and Rotation that determine selection and retention policies for your vault. When you select the Schedule object, the right pane of the MM Admin window displays the names of previously defined schedules. These schedules are also listed under the Schedule object in the left pane. Right-click the Schedule object to create a new schedule. Right-click a specific schedule to delete it. For more information about creating or deleting a schedule, see Scheduling Tape Volume Movement in this chapter. After you have named and created a schedule, the Vault Criteria Descriptor (VCD) and Rotation objects appear in the left pane of the MM Admin window. The Vault Criteria Descriptor Object The Vault Criteria Descriptor (VCD) allows you to set source information that governs the tape volumes assigned to a vault. You can select a media pool name or a file name as the controlling data set. If you want to assign only one tape, select the Assigned by User option as the controlling data set. If you use this option, you must enter command line information. When this data set is vaulted, the tape volumes are assigned to slots in the vault. When you select the Vault Criteria Descriptor object, the right pane of the MM Admin window displays columns listing the following information for existing VCDs: ■ VCD Name-The name of the Vault Criteria Descriptor. ■ VCD Type-Indicates whether the controlling data set is defined by media pool, file name, or by user. ■ Media Pool-If the controlling data set is a media pool, the name of the media pool appears. ■ Host Name-If the controlling data set is a file name, the host where the file resides appears in this column. ■ Path/File Name-If the controlling data set is a file name, the full path and file name appear in this column. ■ Create Date-The date the VCD was created. In the right pane of the MM Admin window, right-click an existing VCD to update or delete it. Right-click the Vault Criteria Descriptor object in the left pane to create a new VCD. For more information about creating, updating, or deleting a VCD, see Selecting Tape Volumes in this chapter. Managing Devices and Media 7-25
