The purpose of this section is to provide practical examples on how to configure Simple Management to automate the scheduled movement of media from one repository to another.
For a detailed description of the Simple Management Subsystem please see the Simple Management section.
Enabling Simple Management
Simple Management can be enabled for a Target Repository, or for a specific Volume.
When enabled at a Repository level, a matching Simple Management Rule must exist with a matching scope for every Volume moved to that Repository.
When enabled for a specific Volume, a Simple Management Rule must exist with a matching scope that for every Repository that the Volume will move to.
Enabling at a Repository level
Force Simple Managementoption is set toTrue.- As Simple Management sets a Next Move Date, and Volumes are traditionally moved using the TMSS10MovePending program, it is recommended that the
Next Repositoryoption is set to an appropriate value.
Recipes
The 2nd last day of each month
First of all check and confirm that the properties of the required repositories have had the Force Simple Management option set to True, and the Next Repository option is set to the repository as per the intended rule.
Select the Simple Management tab above the Inventory window to the right of the Customer tree view. Right-click and select Add.
This will open the Edit New Simple Management Rule window and display the Identity tab. On this tab enter an appropriate description into the Description field. In this example 'Return 2nd Last Day' has been entered.
