Introduction

Additional Functions

The following administrator functions of the DATA ARCHIVER Manager have been added to the DATA ARCHIVER Manager Version 1.21 compatible with Windows.

In addition to the traditional DATA ARCHIVER LB-DM9, this function enables connection to the SCALABLE DATA ARCHIVER LB-DH8 Series.DATA ARCHIVER and SCALABLE DATA ARCHIVER can be connected at the same time.

This function enables the export and import of volume information for volume data sharing across different DATA ARCHIVER Managers.This also copies magazines for distributing volume data among different magazines. The same Group ID will be set for source and target magazines ( 22).

The remaining capacity of a magazine or volume can be monitored.

This function enables the specification of the numbers of the drives to have prioritized write processing if the SCALABLE DATA ARCHIVER is connected.

If you do not wish to schedule synchronization of the write cache, deselect the schedule synchronization setting.

If there is a difference between the free space of the magazine and magazine capacity on the database, modify the magazine capacity managed by the database. If unsynchronized files remain in the cache, modify the free space of the magazine in the database. Unlike the traditional process to correct for inconsistent recovery of magazines, the difference between the database value and the magazine value that is displayed in the list of differences in the history information will not be corrected.

Management server setup

Hardware preparationWith this new version, a server can connect to the Scalable DA “LB-DH8 Series*” as below as well as the traditional DA “LB-DM9”.

Image of hardware connections≥ Connecting with the Scalable DA “LB-DH8 Series”À single Scalable DAÀctive Directory and database can also work on the management server with the DA Manager Ver.1.21

* Scalable DA “LB-DH8 Series” is a library system that consists of multiple modules.A single drive system to read and write data is built in the base module and the expansion module with arecording/playback unit. The Scalable DA can manage multiple drive systems by adding expansion modules withthe recording/playback units.DA Manager Ver.1.21 supports such management of multiple drive systems.

The Operation Guide v1.01 has been changed as described below:≥ The drop-down list of the Load/Unload Magazine screen displays “Slots capacity/Total slots” of DA or Scalable

DA.

When the Scalable DA is shown on the drop-down list, operate as described below.≥ For the details on how to unlock the magazine drawer which is connected to DA, refer to “Unlocking the magazine

and drawer unlock” in page 34 of Operation Guide v 1.01.

5 Click “Drawer Open” CThe confirmation message will appear based on the operation state of Scalable DA.

6 Click “OK”≥ No file synchronization takes place by clicking “OK” in response to the confirmation message

“Unsynchronized files exist.”.≥ Some processing like “Read processing” is suspended by clicking “OK” in response to the confirmation mes-

sage “A running job is suspended.”.≥ The online magazine is ejected by clicking “OK” in response to the confirmation message “An online

magazine is ejected.”.≥ Unlocking can be canceled by pressing the “Terminate” button.≥ Once the message “Ready to open drawer” is displayed in E, a magazine drawer in the Scalable DA can be

made ready for unlocking.

Exporting volume informationThis volume information export function is used to export the volume information of the source DA Manager and upload to the target DA Manager.There are two ways to export volume information as follows.

1 Operate from the Finalize Volume screen:For the details of the operation of finalizing a volume, refer to “Finalizing a volume” in page 57 of Operation Guide v1.01.After finalizing, “Export” changes from “Not Exported” to “Exported”. ( 18)

2 Operate from the Export Volume screen:

1 Log in to the Web interface as a magazine or system administrator2 Select “Volume Management” “Export Volume” from the menu

The Export Volume screen will be displayed.

3 Click the “Export” button of the volume you wish to export 4 Click “OK”5 Select the target unformatted magazine, click “OK”

Export is executed.

2 Operate from the Export Volume screen:When the volume has been finalized but the volume information has not been exported, export the volume information. The export destination is an unformatted magazine.

Note≥ If the Export Status does not change from “Not Exported” to “Exported” after finalizing, export volume

information from the Export Volume screen.

Preparation≥ Before starting the operation, make sure the unformatted magazines are loaded in the DA unit.

Note≥ The magazine only recorded volume information is not displayed in the volume configuration magazine list

screen.

19


Copy MagazineThis enables you to register a batch that copies the magazines with finalized volumes to the unformatted magazines you have selected.When you execute the registered batch, refer to Magazine Copy Settings ( 27).

C Source MagazineSelect the source magazine that has been finalized.

D Destination MagazineSelect the target magazine from the unformatted magazines that do not belong to any volume.

4 Click “Register”5 Click “OK”

Preparation≥ Before starting the operation, make sure the unformatted magazines are loaded in the DA unit.

NoteWhen the available space of the source magazine temporary folder is insufficient, the magazine cannot be copied.The source magazine temporary folder free space must be more than one DA magazine (1.2 TB or more).

20


Importing volume informationThis volume information import function enables you to import the volume information of the source DA Manager to the target DA Manager.

Execute the volume information import as follows:1 Load all magazines that include the volumes of source DA Manager and the volume information in the

same DA unit.2 After executing the inventory to verify the load status of all magazines, the DA Manager registers the

import batch to import the volume information that is exported to magazines.3 Import batch will be operated.

Notes≥ If the magazine file-read operation is executed, the import request batch will begin after the operation has

completed, therefore it may take some time.≥ If the volume name you wish to import already exists in the target DA Manager, the name will be changed

before import. The principle of the name change is that the last character of the volume name will be changed in the order 0 to 9 or a to z so they do not duplicate.≥ When importing an encrypted volume, the encryption key has to be acquired in the target DA Manager before

loading the magazines belonging to the volume. ( 22)≥ During the import batch operation, the Display System Status in the System Management screen displays the

status of the import.

21


Importing volume keyImporting volume key is used to import an encrypted volume from the source DA Manager. When the volume is not encrypted, the volume key import operation is not required.1 Log in to the Web interface as a magazine or system administrator2 Select “Volume Management” “Import Volume Key” from the menu

The Import Volume Key screen will be displayed.3 Upload the volume key file

1 Click “Browse” and specify the file using the full path2 Click “Upload”

Group IDThe same Group ID will be set for source and target magazines.

A Group IDThe same data can be read from a magazine that has the same Group ID. When the magazines with the same Group ID are registered in the database and then the nearline file written in the magazines can be read, the magazines to be loaded in the drive may vary depending upon status.

Note≥ If an encryption key was created as the system key at the source DA Manager, the system key is recognized

as equivalent volume key by the target DA Manager.
