Likewise, the cleaning group must contain volumes with
uniform, drive-specific attributes. For cleaning volume groups,
see “Create a Cleaning Volume Group” on page 1-20.
Disparate Media in the Space Pool
The space pool can contain volumes with a variety of formats.
Therefore, if a site uses both WORM and erasable optical
platters, AMASS always has a selection of media from which to
pick.
For example, if volume group 47 runs out of space, AMASS
automatically takes a volume from the space pool with the
appropriate attributes and reassigns it to the out-of-space
volume group. Thus, AMASS continues to write data to volume
group 47 and performance does not suffer.
Using Numeric Volume Groups
You can archive a specific directory by using numeric volume
groups. This concept is shown in the following illustration:
Library
/archive
/sales
/pubs
~

Volume Group 2
AMASS archives /pubs
files to volume group 2.
