Chapter 3 Archiving 89
When the archiver needs volumes for the archive set, it examines each volume of the
selected media type in all automated libraries and manually mounted drives to
determine if the volume would satisfy any VSN expression. It selects the first
volume that matches an expression that contains enough space for the archive copy
operation. For example:
■ The following directive specifies that files belonging to archive set ex_set for
copy 1 be copied to media type mo using any of the 20 volumes with the names
optic20 through optic39:
■ The following directive specifies that files belonging to archive set ex_set for
copy 2 be copied to media type lt using any volume beginning with TAPE:
Note – Make sure you assign volumes to the archive set for the metadata when
setting up the archiver.cmd file. Each file system has an archive set with the same
name as the file system. For more information on preserving metadata, see the
samfsdump(1M) man page or see the Sun StorageTek Storage Archive Manager
Troubleshooting Guide.
VSN Pools Directives
The VSN pools section of the archiver.cmd file starts with a vsnpools directive
and ends either with an endvsnpools directive or with the end of the
archiver.cmd file. This section names a collection of volumes.
VSN pools can also be configured with the File System Manager software. See the
File System Manager online help for more information.
