How to Configure Library Recycling Values

The recycler clears volume names in a library of expired archive copies and makes the volumes available for reuse. For information about recycler configuration guidelines for a library, see Planning for Archiving.

If you are managing a server that has the SUNWsamfsr and SUNWsamfsu packages installed locally, you can configure the recycler for volumes in a library.

  1. From the Manage Hosts menu or the Managed Hosts page, choose the name of the server for which you want to configure the recycler.

    The File Systems Summary page is displayed.

  2. From the navigation tree, choose Storage Recycling under Archive Administration.

    The Storage Recycling page is displayed.

  3. Configure recycling values for each library listed on this page, and click Save.

    Note - If you configure the recycler to automatically export a volume after recycling it, manually move the exported volume to offsite storage. This ensures that old data is maintained in the event of a disaster.
