Virtual TapeServer 8.0 Configuration Guide

Creating and Managing Virtual Media | 83

Specify how the message will be displayed in an EMS viewer, such as ViewPoint. In this

example, inverse text is used until the event is acknowledged but the event is listed in normal

text:

#SET action -1

#SET emphasis -1

Issue the VTSPolicy command; see Automatically migrating virtual tapes to physical tapes

using VTSPolicy on page 79 for an explanation of the parameters. TSM is used in this

example:

#SET evt_text VTSPolicy TSM “/VAULT01/Pool st=VTS1 r=14,d”

Here is a example of the full script, with the commands inserted:

#PUSH evt_x evt_error req_error req_read req_prompt

#PUSH action_id collector

#LOAD /LOADED evt_x/ $system.zspidef.zemstacl

#LOAD /LOADED evt_x/ $system.zspidef.zspitacl

#LOAD /LOADED evt_x/ $system.zspidef.ztactacl

#LOAD /LOADED evt_x/ $system.zspidef.ztaptacl

#DEF evt_buf STRUCT BEGIN BYTE b(1:3000); END;

#SET collector $0

#SET action_id 0

#SET evt_error [#REQUESTER /WAIT/ READ [collector] req_error req_read

req_prompt]

#PUSH evt_num action emphasis evt_text text_len

#SET evt_num 1234

#SET action -1

#SET emphasis -1

#SET evt_text VTSPolicy TSM 'archive /VAULT01/PoolA s=VTS1 o=/tape/opt1

erase=YES'

#SET text_len

#SET evt_error [#EMSINIT evt_buf [ZEMS^VAL^EXTERNAL^SSID] [evt_num]

ZEMS^TKN^TEXT [#charcount evt_text] [evt_text]]

#SET evt_error [#SSPUT evt_buf ZEMS^TKN^EMPHASIS [ZSPI^VAL^TRUE]]

#SET evt_error [#SSPUT evt_buf ZEMS^TKN^ACTION^NEEDED [ZSPI^VAL^TRUE]]

#APPENDV req_prompt evt_buf

Restoring data

You can restore data in the following ways (if a capacity license is enabled on the server):

• Import from a physical library; this is the reverse of a tape-to-tape export job to an

external tape library

• Import from a physical tape drive; this is the reverse of a tape-to-tape export to a

standalone drive

• Import from a physical library or drive, to import pre-existing tapes (dynamic import)

• Import a virtual tape that was exported to one or more physical tapes; this is the reverse

of a stacked export job

• Import a virtual tape on a remote host (replication target); this is the reverse of a replicate

job
