Chapter 8 Extended Data Lifecycle Management
Incomplete EDLM Scans
Scalar i500 User’s Guide 227
When you pause EDLM scans, tapes that are currently being scanned
finish their scans, are unloaded from the tape drives, and are moved back
to their original locations. No further tapes are scanned. Tapes in the
queue remain queued. Once unpaused, tapes that would have been
queued during the pause period are queued and scans resume as normal.
To pause automatic scanning, you must change the EDLM mode on a
partition, as follows:
1 Log on as an administrator.
2 From the Web client, select Operations > Partitions > Change Mode.
The Change Partition Mode screen appears.
3 Under EDLM Mode, the Current column displays one of the
following:
• Not Configured — EDLM policies have not been configured on
the partition.
• Active — EDLM policies are configured and running.
• Paused — EDLM scanning is paused.
The New column contains an Active/Paused button. The button
toggles between modes.
