Pausing EDLM Scans on
Partitions 8
You can temporarily halt EDLM scanning in a partition but keep your
EDLM policy selections intact so that you can re-enable them later. You
might want to do this if you suspect a problem (for example, if it seems
that too many tapes are being scanned, and library operations are being
affected).
Scan based on StorNext
media suspect count
Only available if you selected Use StorNext Configuration above.
The suspect count is a means by which StorNext Storage Manager
determines when to stop writing data to tape.
If you select this policy, a tape will be queued for EDLM testing when its
suspect count threshold is reached. If the EDLM test indicates the tape is
good, you can reset the suspect count on the StorNext application and
continue to use the tape. For more information on suspect counts and
resetting suspect counts, refer to your StorNext application’s
documentation.
Result Action Settings
Disable RAS ticket for
bad or suspect media
Select this check box if you wish to disable summary RAS tickets and RAS
ticket e-mail notifications stating media is bad or suspect media based on
the results of EDLM scans. By default, these summary RAS tickets are
disabled (i.e., this check box is selected), because this information is
available from the EDLM test results.
Note: RAS tickets for specific drive and media issues found during
EDLM scans will never be disabled. Only the summary results
tickets and notifications (stating media is suspect or bad) can be
enabled or disabled.
Initiate StorNext copy
operation for
Only available if you selected Use StorNext Configuration above.
Automatically requests StorNext Storage Manager to copy all data from a
bad and/or suspect tape to another tape. From the drop-down list, you can
choose to copy bad tapes, suspect tapes, or both. You can also choose
Disabled, which disables the policy. This policy is disabled by default.
A RAS ticket will be generated for each request to copy data indicating
whether the request succeeds or fails.
