DESCRIPTION
The main purpose of media management is to protect valuable user data.
To achieve this goal Data Protector provides the following functionality: protecting
data from being overwritten, detecting and tracking bad or old media, utilizing and
reporting space in auto changers, use of media within pools, drive cleaning, detecting
standard tape and MO format. All this information is stored into the Data Protector
internal database.
The omnimm command manages media pools, checks the protection of a medium,
maintains and updates the contents of the repository in the library.
Protecting data is more than just stopping Data Protector from overwriting the tape.
The detection of an old and poor media informs the administrator before data loss
so that he can react before he needs to restore the data and tape will never be used
for backups again. This means protection of data which are on Data Protector tapes
and protection for data which is still on the system and needs to be backed up.
For the list of supported media classes, refer to the HP Data Protector product
announcements, software notes, and references.
Data Protector has the concept of media pools to manage large numbers of
cartridges. Pools are logical collection of cartridges with same common media or
