Jobs Tab
The HSTC uses jobs to do its own internal work such as offloading virtual tapes to
physical tapes. These jobs are similar in concept but separate from the jobs that your
backup software may use to do backups and restores.
The HSTC performs the following types of jobs:
• Copy from virtual tape to physical tape
• Copy from physical tape to virtual tape
• Copy from virtual tape to virtual tape
• Auto-archive
• Inventory a physical tape in a stacker
• Enable host access to a physical tape in a stacker using a standalone virtual tape
drive
• Erase a virtual tape
Jobs of different types are created in different ways, but once created, all jobs can be
managed using the “Jobs” tab. The job database view is split into three parts: the
“Jobs” table showing summary information for all the jobs, the “Job log”, and the
“Activity monitor”.
Jobs Table
The jobs database is presented in a table with rows for each job and columns for
the following fields (See Figure 3-57):
•
ID: A unique, sequential, numeric identifier for each job
•
Description: Indicates the type of job with the involved physical and virtual
elements
