Chapter 8 Extended Data Lifecycle Management
Incomplete EDLM Scans
Scalar i500 User’s Guide 218
12 Once you have successfully configured StorNext host settings, you
can configure StorNext-related EDLM policies on partitions as
described in Chapter 8, Step 5: Setting Up Automatic EDLM
Scanning Policies on Partitions.
Step 4: Creating the EDLM Library Managed Partition
8
The EDLM library managed partition is a dedicated partition that you set
up in the library for scanning media with EDLM. This partition exists
solely for media scanning purposes and is not accessible to hosts or other
applications. Tape cartridges are moved into the EDLM library managed
partition and scanned using the tape drives residing in the EDLM library
managed partition. When the scan is complete, the cartridges are
returned to their original partitions.
To create the EDLM library managed partition, do the following:
1 From the Web client, select Setup > Partitions.
2 Click Create.
The Create Partition - Basic Settings screen appears (see Figure 33
).
Note: If you plan to use this EDLM partition to scan tapes encrypted
using library managed encryption, you will also need to
configure this partition for library managed encryption, so
that it can request the correct encryption keys from the
encryption key servers. Without the proper encryption keys,
the EDLM scanning drives cannot perform normal or full
scans on encrypted tapes. Once you have created the partition,
select Setup > Encryption > Partition Configuration and
configure the partition for library managed encryption.
