===== Common Scenarios And Configuration ===== | ===== Common Scenarios And Configuration ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | TapeTrack is a highly customizable software product and the initial configuration depends on your business model. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Setup is divided into three sections on the Customer Tree in TapeMaster: | ||
+ | * Owner | ||
+ | * Customer | ||
+ | * Media | ||
+ | |||
+ | The owner is fairly self-explanatory, | ||
+ | |||
+ | What constitutes a Customer varies by the setup required, but essentially is a self contained group of Volumes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Media classes separate different types of media to simplify tape management and reporting. | ||
==== Offsite Vaulting Business ==== | ==== Offsite Vaulting Business ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Offsite vaulting is probably the easiest model to plan out. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Lets use the example of an offsite vaulting business called Granite Vaulting. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Granite vaulting then has several data companies that use them for offsite Volume storage. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{vault.png}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | Granite Vaulting has four clients that they currently vault for: | ||
+ | * Data Savers | ||
+ | * Sherbrooke Community Bank | ||
+ | * Monbulk Health | ||
+ | * ACME Florida | ||
+ | |||
+ | These Clients are listed in TapeMaster as Customers. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{vault_tree.png}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | As new clients are procured, a new Customer is added to TapeMaster for each of them. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now that we have the Customers added, the next step is to add locations on where the Volumes can be in the Volume cycle between the vault and the Customers. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Two Repositories are added to each Customers Media types: | ||
+ | * Granite Vaulting | ||
+ | * Customer | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{vault_repository.png}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Data Business ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | For this example, we are going to use a data business ACME Corporation, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Different locations use varying media types and all vault externally. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The owner of the TapeTrack installation is ACME Corportation. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{customer.png}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | Each of ACME's locations are listed in TapeMaster as Customers. The Customers are then assigned media types based on what Media types are vaulted. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{customer_tree.png}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | As the business grows and opens new locations, a new Customer is added to TapeMaster for each of them. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now that we have the Customers added, the next step is to add locations on where the Volumes can be in the Volume movement cycle. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Using Los Angeles as an example, the Volume movement cycle has a Volume taken from a scratch rack and placed in one of two TS3500 Libraries. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Repositories from this scenario are: | ||
+ | * Offsite vault | ||
+ | * Scratch rack | ||
+ | * TS3500 1 | ||
+ | * TS3500 2 | ||
+ | * GemTrac Rack | ||
