Migrating from SLS/MDMS V2.X to ABS/MDMS V4.X B.2 SLS/MDMS V2.x to ABS/MDMS V4.x Migration Table B–4 Verifying Objects and their Attributes after the Conversion Object Attribute Description/Verification Drive Drive Ensure that all the drives are defined during the conversion. In the MDMS V3 domain, you can have only one drive with a given name. But, in MDMS V2.x, you could have two drives with the same name provided they were in different TAPE- START.COM files. Ensure that all drives in your domain are in the database. Example: You can create two drives named “DRIVE1” and “DRIVE2”. • “DRIVE1” has the device name as “$1$MUA520” and the node name as “NODE1”. • “DRIVE2” has the device name as “$1$MUA520” and the node name as “NODE2”. Every time a node is added to the drive, a conflict is added to the conflict file. This prompts you to verify if the node really belongs to this drive or if you need to create another drive. Description Device Nodes Disabled State Automatic reply RW media types RO Media Types Access Jukebox Drive Number This attribute is left blank during the conversion. Ensure that you provide the appropriate description after the conversion. Ensure that only the device name is displayed after the conversion. The node name must not be a part of the device name. Ensure that the list of node(s) displayed are the node(s) that can communicate with the drive. The conversion program enables all the drives. If you want the drive disabled, then set the “DISABLED” attribute to “YES”. Ensure that the drive is in the appropriate state. If not, set the “STATE” attribute to the appropriate value. You can also verify the state by issuing the following command: $ MDMS SHOW DRIVE /CHECK This attribute is set from the QUICKLOAD symbol (SLS/MDMS V2.x). Ensure that it is the intended drive behavior. The conversion program, as and when it finds a media type(s), immediately adds it to the drive. Make sure the one that is added is the correct read-write media type(s) for the drive. There is no read-only media type(s) in MDMS V2.x. So, it is not added to the drives during the conversion. If needed, you can add read-only media type(s) to the drive object. The conversion program is not aware of the access type that must be set. Hence, it sets the access to “ALL”. Ensure that it is the access type that you want to be set for the drive. Ensure that the jukebox name displayed is the one that the drive belongs to. Ensure that the drive number displayed is the one that is used for the robot commands on the drive. B–26 Migrating from SLS/MDMS V2.X to ABS/MDMS V4.X

The default description is: Default MDMS Domain. Mail Ensure that the account displayed is the intended recepient for the e-mails sent when a volume reaches its scratch date and MDMS deallocates it. If you do not want any e-mails sent, then leave the “Mail” field blank. The default recepient is “SYSTEM”. Offsite location Onsite location Default media type Deallocate state Opcom classes Protection Maximum scratch time Scratch time Transition time Network timeout Ensure that the offsite location displayed is the default location for the objects that you create. This default value is set from the value defined for the VLT symbol in the TAPESTART.COM. It can be different in different TAPESTART.COM files. Ensure that the onsite location displayed is the default location for the objects that you create. Ensure that the media type displayed is the default media type you want to be assigned to volumes that do not have a media type specified when they are created. Ensure that the deallocate state displayed is the default state you want volumes to move to, once they reach their scratch date. The state can be modified every time you convert the TAPE- START.COM on a new node. Ensure that the Opcom Classe(s) displayed is the one that should receive all the MDMS Opcom messages. The Opcom Class can be modified every time you convert the TAPE- START.COM on a new node. Ensure that the protection displayed is the default protection that is assigned to volumes for which the protection is not specified. Ensure that the maximum scratch time value displayed is the default value to be assigned for volumes in your domain. The maximum scratch time can be modified every time you convert the TAPESTART.COM on a new node. Ensure that the scratch time value displayed is the default value to be assigned for volumes in your domain. The scratch time can be modified every time you convert the TAPESTART.COM on a new node. Ensure that the transition time value displayed is the default value assigned to volumes in your domain. The transition time can be modified every time you convert the TAPESTART.COM on a new node. Ensure that the network timeout value displayed is the default timeout value that you want. The network timeout value can be modified every time you convert the TAPESTART.COM on a new node. Location Description Ensure that you provide the appropriate description for the location after the conversion is completed. By default, the description is not provided during the conversion. Spaces Ensure that you set the spaces after the conversion is completed. By default, the spaces are not set during the conversion. Migrating from SLS/MDMS V2.X to ABS/MDMS V4.X B–27
