Adding an Archive Device Section 7 Configuring Archives

• MO Drive - requires removing and replacing platters as they become full.
• Disk Driv
e - The hard disk may be partitioned into multiple volumes which are
sized to match CD ROM or DVD media.
Several archive devices can be configured on the same media to satisfy several
different archive schemes.
Removed archive volumes don't recapture used disk space. This prevents
restructuring the device to fewer volumes with larger individual capacities.
When deleting volumes from a Disk Drive archive device, delete the folder
manually. Look for a folder under the Device File with the name nnArch where
nn is the volume number. Delete folders that match the volumes that were deleted
from the device.
Refer to the computer’s documentation for instructions
on connecting storage
devices to the computer where the archive service runs.
The operating parameters for each archive device are specified in the corresponding
archive device aspect. This requires adding one or more archive device objects for
each archive media (MO or disk drive), and then configure the archive device
aspects. For instructions, refer to Adding an Archive Device on page 82.
Adding an Archive Device
Archive device objects can be added in any structure in the aspect directory,
although the Node Administration structure is recommended. In this structure, each
node where the archive service runs has an Industrial IT Archive object under the
Industrial IT Archive service provider. The aspect list for this object has an
Archive Service Aspect which facilitates adding Archive Device objects (as well as
Archive Group and Archive Volume objects).
To add an Archive Device object (reference Figure 46 for steps 1-4):
1. In the Plant Explorer, select th
e Node Administration structure.
2. Expand the object tree for the node where the archi
ve device is being added
(for example, TAR105 in Figure 46).
3. In the object tree for the selected node, expand the Industrial IT
Archive
Service Provider and select the Industrial IT Archive object.
