The Temporary Check In option is useful for tracking media movement if you want to temporarily move a tape volume from a vault to use for a restore job, but want to return it back to the vault when the job is finished.
All tape volumes that are vaulted are in checked out status. Use the Temporary Check In option to change this status to checked in so that you can keep track of your tape volume while it is temporarily being used for a restore job. When you finish using the tape volume, the next vault cycle returns it to the vault and changes the status back to checked out.
Note: The Temporary Check In option is only for tracking tapes that are temporarily returned from the vault, and is not a requirement for the actual tape movement; if you do not use this option, you can still manually move a tape volume from a vault and return it when a job is finished. However, you should use this option because, if you do not use it and move a tape volume, there will be a discrepancy between the status of the tape volume that appears in the MM Admin and the actual location of the tape.
To use the Temporary Check In option, in the left pane of the MM Admin window, double-click the Vault object to see a list of existing vaults. Select a vault to display its information in the right pane. Select the name of the media you want to move, right-click, and select Temporary Check In.
Example: Temporary Check In
For example, to perform an emergency restore operation using a tape volume from one of the vaults, use the Temporary Check In feature to temporarily check the tape volume in to Tape Service, execute the restore operation, and then run a vault cycle to return the tape volume to the vault.
