Basic and Advanced Operations

Manually Performing an Archive Operation

The Archive icon
according to the time shown in the Device Properties page (see "Displaying and Understanding the
Device Status Page" on page 57). If the virtual cartridge is configured to not perform an archive (see
the Do Not Archive Option under "Configuring a Virtual Tape Cartridge" on page 64), or if you
want to perform an archive before the scheduled time, you can perform an archive manually.
To perform an archive manually, click the Archive icon (
appears approximately 10 seconds after RemoteAdmin recognizes the request for a physical tape.
When the correct physical tape is inserted, the archive begins.

Manually Performing a Migrate Operation

A Migrate operation allows the CP 3100 to reclaim hard drive space so that future backups can be
performed to the CP 3100. By default, the data in a virtual cartridge is only migrated when the CP
3100 needs to claim the space.
You can perform a manual migrate operation by clicking the Migrate icon
the CP 3100 determines whether data for the virtual cartridge has been archived. If the data has
been archived, the migrate occurs immediately. Otherwise, the CP 3100 requests a physical tape,
so the archive can be performed first. After the archive is successful, the data will be migrated. See
Appendix A for migrate concepts.
NOTE: The Migrate icon does not appear if there is no data to migrate (that is, if all the data
on the virtual tape cartridge has been archived and removed from the storage pools).

NOTE: The Cancel Alert icon is not displayed if there is no pending error Attention for the vir-
tual drive and/or virtual loader slots, or if a virtual tape cartridge is not in the virtual drive or vir-
tual loader slots. You may still need to perform actions so that further operations will be
successful.
