A recurring theme on the NetWorker Mailing List is people not understanding how Automedia Management operates in tape libraries.<\/p>\n

Here’s the complete list of what automedia management does when enabled for a tape library:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It enables NetWorker to automatically label and use any blank tape (i.e., a tape that does not have a NetWorker label header on it) within the library if and only if<\/em><\/strong> there are no other appendable or recyclable volumes in the library to service the pool that requires media.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It does not<\/strong> have anything to do with the following:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Recycling volumes within a pool (this is handled automatically, so long as the volume isn’t set for manual recycling)<\/li>\n
    2. Recycling volumes between pools (this is handled by configuring the pool to “recycle to other pools” and “recycle from other pools”)<\/li>\n
    3. Inventorying volumes as they are added to the library (this is barcode and NetWorker version dependent)<\/li>\n
    4. Depositing volumes (this is an operator function)<\/li>\n
    5. Withdrawing volumes (this is an operator function)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
