• 40*/250 Files 11 M/ 202 M Bytes
For example, this indicates that the medium is a valid IRIS archive medium with a
complete log. The log list shows the first few product files that are on the medium (if
any). In this example, there are 250 files and 202 MB on the medium. The log list is
currently displaying 40 files that occupy 11 MB (* means there are more that could be
displayed).
• Incomplete Log
This indicates a valid IRIS tape but an invalid or incomplete tape log on disk. The tape
log shows the first few files on the tape to the best of its ability. You may want to
perform an inventory if a Retrieve operation is to be done.
After a successful Mount operation, IRIS displays the archive ID, which should be checked
against the label on the medium.
If a medium of unknown format or a blank tape or disk is detected during Mount, IRIS does
not mount the medium and the Status field shows NonIris.
8.5 Recording Data
The Record command starts the recording process. Output requests made from the
Product Output menu for the selected archive drive are written at the beginning of a blank
tape or added to the end of an IRIS tape. The archive medium can be left mounted so that
new files can be automatically written to the archive without having to enter the Archive
menu. This continues until the medium is full.
Retrieve, Unmount, and Inventory commands can be issued during the record operation
without first issuing the Stop command. A side eect of recording on an IRIS tape is that a
new tape log is created when IRIS scans to find the last tape file. If you record on a tape that
has an Incomplete Tape Log, a new tape log is generated. There is no need to perform
an inventory in this case.
1. Enter the Product Output menu and select which product files to send to the archive
drive. Be sure to specify the correct drive when you do this. You can make either
individual send requests or use the header line commands to specify that all future
products be sent to the archive.
2. Put a partially filled or a freshly initialized medium into the appropriate archive drive.
Make sure that the medium is write-enabled.
3. Select Menus > Archive Menu and select the appropriate archive drive.
Check that Status field indicates Idle or Released.
4. Select Commands > Mount.
5. Check the Filter Summary to make sure the medium mounted successfully, and check
the Archive ID field and log list to make sure that this is the medium that you want to
write.
