Setup guide

ClipMgtDevice Tape
You can specify several tape devices for clip management. SCSI tape archiving devices are not supported.
Use only fibre channel archiving devices, specifically, SAIT and DTF2 devices.
To use a tape device for archiving, you must define the filename, the block size, and the name for the device
you are using.
The ClipMgtDevice Tape keyword uses the following syntax
ClipMgtDevice Tape, <file_name>, [<block_size>, [<device_name>
Is:Where:
The filename of the fixed block size device.
<file_name>
The amount of data per block written to tape.
<block_size>
The name of the tape device as it will appear in the Archive menu.
<device_name>

ClipMgtDevice File
You can define a portion of your system disk or another volume as the destination for archives created using
the application.
The ClipMgtDevice File keyword uses the following syntax
ClipMgtDevice File, <file_name>, <size>
Is:Where:
The path for archives created using the application.
<file_name>
The maximum size for a file archive in MB.
<size>
You can also modify the parameters of this keyword through the application.

■ You can change the default maximum size of a file archive in the Archive menu in the application.
Example of use

MaxLibrarySize
The MaxLibrarySize keyword indicates the maximum size for any single clip library, in megabytes. The
higher the value, the more memory the application uses. Using a larger value reduces memory fragmentation,
which optimizes memory use. However, the value should not be so high as to compromise system
performance.
