vsmove
Moves media from one library to another.
A client uses the vsmove command to direct the movement of
media from one library to another. Inter-library media
movement requires operator intervention. The operator must
eject the media from their current libraries and enter them into
the target library. The Eject and Enter functionalities are
available from the appropriate library’s console display. The
Eject and Enter functionalities are not available from the
command line.
Upon receipt of a vsmove request, the VolServ software verifies
the specified media exist, the target library supports the media
type of the specified media, and there exists an appropriate
library MediaClass association with the target library. The
current library of each specified media is commanded to eject
the media. An Eject request, specifying the target library, is
displayed on the library console of each losing library. The
operator must select and manually eject or remove the media on
the list. After media is selected for ejection, the target library
displays a corresponding Enter request for that media. The
operator must then manually enter the media specified on the
list into the target library.
When the media is ejected from the original library and entered
into the target library, the VolServ system generates unsolicited
status messages if any of the moved media are associated with
MediaClass groups that are configured to generate unsolicited
communication from VolServ.
The
vsmove command is run for “homeless” media. A
homeless media is an Intransit media that has no pending
movement activity.
