Functions
Media identifiers of media being imported into manual archives
may contain alphanumeric and special characters, including
spaces. However, spaces cannot be used as leading or trailing
characters. If media in a manual archive can later be moved into
an automated archive, the media identifiers must also conform
to any naming restrictions imposed by the automated archive.
For example, special characters may not be allowed in media
identifiers in the automated archive.
Media type for the media is determined by the media type of the
specified MediaClass group.
After the MediaClass capacity is reached, no additional media
can be imported into the MediaClass group.
The total length of time the API software waits for a command
status in synchronous mode from VolServ is
(VSID_RETRY_LIMIT plus 1) multiplied by
VSID_TIMEOUT_VALUE.
If the VSID_ENTERPRISE_ID parameter is set to any value
other than zero, the intermediate and final status for Import
requests is returned to the enterprise registered with VolServ.
When the API software is operating in asynchronous mode,
client software must call VS_Select to receive intermediate
and final status on command requests submitted through the
API interface to the VolServ system.
Two levels of default parameter settings are used in the API
software—global defaults and command-specific defaults.
• Global defaults are initialized at startup and can be set or
retrieved using
VS_Global_SetFields and
VS_Global_GetFields function calls.
