Managing the AMASS File System
1-16 Initial Setup Tasks 6-00028-01 Rev A
By allocating project files from a subdirectory to specific
volumes, the data generated by the project can easily be added
and removed from the library without affecting data generated
by other projects. Or, you can mark the volumes OFFLINE and
remove them from the library for offsite storage.
When you assign a subdirectory to a numeric volume group,
only writes from that subdirectory are written to the specified
volume group. No other data is placed in that volume group.
When a Group Runs
Out-of-Space
To continue writing to an out-of-space volume group, you have
two options:
• Assign more volumes to the numeric volume group.
• Allow AMASS to automatically take volumes from the
space pool and reassign them to the out-of-space volume
group. However, to allow AMASS to do this, you must
enable the volume group to use the space pool.
Scenario
The following figure illustrates how directories can be defined
under the AMASS mount point and how volume groups can be
used to consign directories.
