Creating optical storage groups

About this task

To create an optical storage group in IBM® Content Manager OnDemand:

Procedure

  1. Access IBM Navigator for i.
  2. Click Content Manager OnDemand, and verify the current instance.
  3. Click Optical Storage Groups and then click Add.
  4. The optical storage group is used to group sets of optical volumes together for use by Content Manager OnDemand.
    For the system configuration example that is described previously, call the optical storage group OPTSTG. You can also provide a brief description.
  5. The optical volumes are rewritable and support the dynamic reuse of space without re-initializing the entire volume.
    So for this example, check the Volume full reset checkbox and set the Free space threshold percent at 40. This indicates when the volume full flag is reset. In the example, when there is 40 percent free space available on the volume, the full flag is reset and the volume can again be used for newly migrated data.
  6. This optical storage group will contain primary volumes; mark the type as Primary.
  7. Click OK to create the optical storage group.
