TMSS10LibraryManager manages Scratch Volume levels within the Target Repository.

Metrics used to monitor Volume levels include Repository capacity, Volumes moving in and out of the Repository, minimum Scratch Volumes required, Repository Scratch levels, available Scratch Volumes from other Repositories and free slot requirements.

TMSS10LibraryManager [-C Customer-ID] [-M Media-ID] [-R Repository-ID] [-S logon string] [-T target repository] [-V volume filter] [-c configuration file] [-e ejection filter] [-f minimum free slots] [-r repository scratch order] [-s minimum scratch volumes]

• -C Customer-ID
• -M Media-ID
• -R Repository-ID
• -S The Logon string argument sets the Server Logon Information
• -T Target Repository for Volumes if ejection is required to make room for minimum Scratch quantity. If not specified, no Volumes will be ejected.
• -V Volume Filter which can be used to filter the traversal of Customer, Media, Volume, Repository and Flag values.
• -c The config file argument specifies the path to the Batch Configuration File. The Batch Configuration File allows you to perform advanced traversal of Customer, Media and Volumes, perform advanced Barcode pre and post processing and route program output to syslogd. Configuration File capabilities vary from program to program but the syntax remains the same. In the event that logic is not supported it will simply be ignored.
• -e Volume ejection exclusion filter
• -f Minimum free Slots required in Repository (Repository Properties override)
• -r Repository Scratch Order override. syntax -r “RAC1=0;RAC2=30;RAC3=20” sets Scratch Rack priority to RAC2, then RAC3, excluding RAC1.
• -s Minimum Scratch Volumes required in Repository (Repository Properties override)

The TapeTrack Software is commercially supported by a full time help desk staff.
