Chapter 6: Automated Media Pool
274
• The AMP can provide a "staging area" for scratch tapes and tapes
that are no longer needed for backup. When a tape is needed by a
partition, it can be moved from the AMP instead of having to be
physically imported into the library partition.
• The number of partition accessible storage units can be expanded or
reduced as needed without having to reconfigure the library,
partition or host application.
• .
• Tapes can be auto-imported from an AMP partition to standard
partitions based on filters set up to associate tapes with standard
partitions by barcode range.
• Tapes can be auto-exported to an AMP partition via policies to
redirect standard partition export MOVE requests.
Note: Manual movement between library managed partitions and
standard partitions will require inventory reconciliation with
the backup application managing the standard partition. SCSI
Unit Attention 6/2800 and 6/2801 inform host applications of
the need to refresh element status.
