Configuring Scratch Media Policies; Configuring Premount Jobs - HP Data Protector A.06.11 User Manual

Printing barcodes
If you have a supported barcode printer attached to the Media Operations Manager,
you can print a range of barcodes from Barcode Policies and reprint a single barcode
from Edit Media. Additionally, you can save the list of barcodes to a file (from Barcode
Policy) for easy export to the third-party barcode label printing software.
When new barcode labels are printed for a specific media pool or free pool group,
they comply with the barcode labeling policy for that media pool and start new labels
from the next available number.

Configuring scratch media policies

Scratch media policies are based on premount jobs, which calculate the number of
scratch media required in a device and the time needed for a specified backup job.
You can define a single default premount job, which calculates how many scratch
media are needed in every device for all backup jobs in a site or multiple custom
premount jobs, to split your scratch media operations across multiple sets of backup
jobs. Premount jobs to load scratch media into devices are used to dismount media
from those devices for vaulting.
To edit scratch bin schedules, go to Global Objects -> Scratch bin schedules or Scratch
bin levels at site level.

Configuring premount jobs

Every premount job defined in the Media Operations Server is specific to a single
site and has a set of backup/copy/consolidation specifications assigned to it. Every
automatic backup/copy/consolidation specification in a site is assigned to a premount
job in the same site; you cannot assign a specification to multiple premount jobs in
the same site.
To edit/add premount job schedules, go to Global Objects -> Premount Schedules
or Premount Schedules at the site level.
To assign backup specifications to premount jobs, go to Edit Backup Specifications;
to assign copy/consolidation specifications to premount jobs, go to Edit
Copy/Consolidation Specifications. You can also bulk assign multiple backup
specifications to a specific premount schedule by clicking Assign to Premount on the
Backup Specifications window. You can bulk assign multiple copy/consolidation
specifications to a specific premount schedule by clicking Assign to Premount on the
Copy/Consolidations Specifications window.
