TAPE MOVEMENT FROM OFF-SITE TO ON-SITE USING DRM
1) After off-site reclamation (reclamation for off-site volumes (or) tapes) the status of volumes (or) tapes will change from vault state to vaultretrieve state.
2) To know which tapes are in vault retrieve state we use below command.
Q drm * wherestate=vaultretrieve
3) Once we came to know which tapes are in vault retrieve state we need to ask the media management team to recall those tapes from off-site to on-site.
4) Once we informed the media management team to recall the tapes we need to change the status of those tapes from vaultretrieve to courier retrieve by using below command.
Move drm * wherestate=vaultretrieve tostate=courierretrieve
5) Once the tapes are bought to on-site location we have to change the status of those tapes from courier retrieve to on-site retrieve by using below command.
Move drm * wherestate=courierretrieve tostate=onsiteretrieve
6) Once the status of tapes has been changed from courier retrieve to on-site retrieve we can load those tapes into tape library as scratch (or) new tapes.
7) In all the above mentioned commands * means all tapes.
*=all tapes
We can also specify “alltape” parameter instead of “*”
