Use this dialog box to view or modify the properties of a Cloud Storage library.
Library Name
The alias provided by the user, for the library. The alias can be changed at any time without affecting the ability to restore data that may have already been backed up using the library.
Cloud Vendor Type
The name of the cloud library vendor.
Associated MediaAgents
The name of the MediaAgent(s) that control the library.
Number of Mount Paths
The total number of mount paths defined for the library.
Status
The status of the library.
Note
The MediaAgent periodically makes a non-existent object deletion request to check the cloud server status. This request will show up in your cloud monitoring software, if it is used, and will not add to your cloud cost.
A library's online/offline status reflects its logical availability to the MediaAgent, not its physical availability. For example, a library can be enabled even if it is physically unavailable due to hardware failure.
Enable Library
Select the Enable Library option to bring the library online and make it available for use. Clear this option to take the library offline. When a library is offline, all the mount paths are inaccessible to the MediaAgent.
Hide Library
Indicates whether the library should be visible in the CommCell Console. When selected, the library will not be visible when the Show hidden libraries option available in Service Configuration tab of Media Management Configuration dialog box is disabled.
Mark Library Offline for Maintenance
Select this option to make the library unavailable for read/write operations such as backup, restore or auxiliary copy operations. However, the library will be available to perform other administrative tasks.
This option is useful when you wish to perform administrative or maintenance tasks on the library.
Hardware WORM
You can enable this option using the Enable WORM Storage workflow.
When this option is enabled, the system creates files in WORM mode with an appropriate WORM lock expiry time based on storage policy retention.
Timeouts (in Minutes)
The timeout parameter determines how long a job waits for a status response after an operation is requested. If the job does not receive a success or failure status within the timeout period, the job is terminated and a failure message is displayed. You can set the following timeout periods:
-
Mount
The number of minutes used to mount the library for read/write operations.
-
Unmount
The number of minutes used to unmount the library after a read/write operation.
Offline Reason
Indicates the offline reason, when the Status of the library is displayed as Offline.
