A Data Cluster is an arbitrary grouping of Volumes that does not depend on sequential or similar Volume-IDs.

They can be used in combination with Simple Management Rules to coordinate Volume movements.

Data cluster ID's are automatically assigned as an index number when created.

The index number is non editable and while it can be disabled, it cannot be deleted.

A data cluster has a description field to allow the assigning of a user friendly text identifiable name.

A data cluster object can be created using TapeTrack TapeMaster.
