Configuration Example Server Version: V4.4(10) * Have you used this procedure before [NO]: no This command procedure prompts you to enter information that is used to configure the media and device management (MDMS) portion of your ABS and HSM environment. If you are running the procedure for the first time you should say "Yes" to "...configure all objects". If you are refining your configuration, you should say "No" to "...configure all objects", and you will be prompted for the types of objects you want to configure. With the exception of volumes, all object names are strings consisting of the letters A-Z, the numbers 0-9 and the "_" underscore character. White space in object names is not supported. The object names must be unique in the domain and may be from 1 to 31 characters in length. Volume names have a maximum of 6 characters. You can type the answer to any question in upper or lower case and conversions will automatically be performed as needed. There are a total of 10 types of objects in MDMS, and these are summarized as follows: * Domain - The entire scope of MDMS operations, which can span geographic locations. There is one predefined domain which you can configure using this procedure. * Location - A physical location, configurable as a hierarchy, that may contain volumes, nodes and jukeboxes, and is used as one selection criteria for allocating volumes and drives. * Node - An OpenVMS computer system capable of running MDMS and accessing drives and jukeboxes. * Jukebox - A robotic device capable of automatically loading and unloading volumes into drives. Jukeboxes contains drives and volumes, and optionally slots, ports, CAPS depending on the type of jukebox. * Drive - A tape drive capable of supporting read and/or write operations for ABS and HSM applications. * Pool - A logical object containing a set of volumes that can be allocated by authorized users. * Media Type - A logical object describing a type of media associated with volumes. * Volume - A physical piece of tape media used for storing and retrieving data. * Group - A group of nodes with something in common (e.g. cluster members) that can be specified instead of a list of nodes. A–2 Configuration Example

Configuration Example * Magazine - A logical set of volumes which are moved as a whole and are contained in a physical magazine cartridge. Magazines are not configured using this procedure. If you want to configure magazines, you should do that manually later. You will be guided through the following configuration steps during this procedure: 1. Configure the domain - define default values applicable across the domain 2. Configure locations - define physical locations that may contain nodes, jukeboxes, magazines and volumes 3. Configure nodes - define OpenVMS nodes that run MDMS in your domain and optionally assign them to groups 4. Configure jukeboxes and drives - define jukebox devices in the domain and their associated drives and optionally inventory the jukeboxes 5. Configure standalone drives and stackers - define drives that are not contained in jukeboxes 6. Configure volumes - configure tape volumes, together with media types and pools, and optionally inventory jukeboxes and initialize volumes *You may execute or skip any step. If you say "configure all objects" you will automatically execute all steps. However, you can always exit a step by entering when asked to configure an object.

Configuration Example<br />

* Magazine - A logical set of volumes which are moved as a whole and are contained in a physical<br />

magazine cartridge. Magazines are not configured using this procedure. If you want <strong>to</strong> configure<br />

magazines, you should do that manually later.<br />

You will be guided through the following configuration steps during this procedure:<br />

1. Configure the domain - define default values applicable across the domain<br />

2. Configure locations - define physical locations that may contain nodes, jukeboxes, magazines<br />

and volumes<br />

3. Configure nodes - define <strong>OpenVMS</strong> nodes that run MDMS in your domain and optionally<br />

assign them <strong>to</strong> groups<br />

4. Configure jukeboxes and drives - define jukebox devices in the domain and their associated<br />

drives and optionally inven<strong>to</strong>ry the jukeboxes<br />

5. Configure standalone drives and stackers - define drives that are not contained in jukeboxes<br />

6. Configure volumes - configure tape volumes, <strong>to</strong>gether with media types and pools, and<br />

optionally inven<strong>to</strong>ry jukeboxes and initialize volumes<br />

*You may execute or skip any step. If you say "configure all objects" you will au<strong>to</strong>matically execute<br />

all steps. However, you can always exit a step by entering when asked <strong>to</strong> configure<br />

an object.<br />

Type "?" <strong>to</strong> any question <strong>for</strong> help<br />

Type "??" <strong>to</strong> any question <strong>for</strong> help and a list of values<br />

Type <strong>to</strong> accept the [default]<br />
