5. From each client, issue the archiver(1M) command and its -A option.
In this step, you verify that archiving is taking place from the client to the server.
This command enables a listing to be written from the archiver, including the VSNs
from the server. For information about this command, see the archiver(1M) man
page.
If files are not archiving, see the Sun StorageTek Storage Archive Manager
Troubleshooting Guide.
Recycling With the Sun SAM-Remote
Software
This section contains information about recycling with Sun SAM-Remote. Sun
Microsystems recommends recycling in a Sun SAM-Remote environment only under
the very specific circumstances described here.
Because the recycling process involves freeing space on cartridges for more data, it is
possible for the recycler to destroy important data on archive cartridges if the
recycling process is not configured properly.
Note – These restrictions are not enforced by the Sun StorageTek SAM software.
To avoid data loss, it is essential that you adhere to the following restrictions:
■ Before using the recycler in a Sun SAM-Remote environment you must have a
complete understanding of each step of the recycler. Executing commands in the
wrong order, or on the wrong system, can result in an irreversible loss of data.
Make sure you have analyzed a command’s actions before executing any
command, such as tplabel(1M), that can delete data on the Sun SAM-Remote
client or the Sun SAM-Remote server.
■ Recycling activities on the Sun SAM-Remote server and the Sun SAM-Remote
client must not overlap. The result could be accidental relabeling of cartridges
and irreversible loss of data.
■ You must not recycle cartridges that contain removable media files.
■ In a Sun SAM-Remote client and server environment, the client and server are
unaware of each other’s file systems, data files, and inode files. Therefore, the
server and the client each must have exclusive use of a certain set of cartridges.
Neither should ever use the other’s cartridges.
