Restricting Which Volume-ID's Can Be Moved To A Repository.
TapeTrack allows the restriction of what volumes can be moved to a repository based on a pattern specified in the Repository properties.
Setting Volume-ID Restrictions
Open the required repository's properties and navigate to the Options tab.
Click in the field to the right of Allowable Volume-ID's and enter allowable volumes string pattern.
Restricting volume-ID patterns can be enforced using TapeTrack string filters.
Character filters may be used alone or in combination to achieve the restricted volume-ID pattern required.
Example Patterns
| Volume ID required | Filter Pattern | Example Volume-ID |
|---|---|---|
| Only volumes ending in L5 | *L5 | 100001L5 |
| Any volumes except those ending in L5 | !*L5 | 100002L6 |
| Volumes ending in L5 or starting with X- | *(*L5|X-*) | X-2E8CA12F |
Any attempt to move a volume with a non compliant volume-ID will cause an error and the move will be aborted.
