Managing Devices and Media › How the Media Management Process Works › Create Schedules

Create Schedules

Media Management relies upon a user defined schedule to determine the tape volumes to move, and when and where to move them. When you select the Schedule object, you can view existing schedules in the right pane of the Media Management Administrator window or you can define new rotation policies and vaulting criteria.

To create schedules

1. Open the MM Admin, right-click the Schedule object in the left pane of the Media Management Administrator window, and select Create from the pop-up menu.

   The Create Schedule dialog opens

2. On the Create Schedule dialog, specify a name for the schedule and click Add.

   The new schedule is saved and added to the Schedule branch in the Media Management Administrator window.

   After you create a schedule, the Vault Criteria Descriptor (VCD) and Rotation objects appear in the left pane of the Media Management Administrator window. These objects allow you to select media and retention policies.
