Slot Detail and Status Information

When tape volumes have been assigned to slots in a vault, MM Admin displays slot information for the vault. Select the Vault object in the left pane of the MM Admin window and expand it. When you select a particular vault from the list, the right pane of the MM Admin window displays a view of the vault and its slots.

This view provides the following information:

When you highlight a media name, additional information appears in the Properties pane in the lower right-hand corner of the page. This information includes the media name, serial number, random ID, host name, slot status, slot name, media export status, media type, media class, last write, last read, and slot creation date. Because MM Admin lets you start a vault cycle only with local media, the media icon appears in yellow if the vaulted media is not a local media with a remote host name. If you want to start a vault cycle with a remote media and member servers, use the ca_mmo -startall command line utility.

Note: For more information about command line utilities for media management, see the Command Line Reference Guide.

Because slots are automatically created when a tape volume is vaulted, you typically have no reason to update slot information.
