DescriptionRemote Storage is beginning to synchronize a copy set.
Event Informationmedia, RSS records an event message in the Service log, and the copy job is stopped:
c. After the copy media is mounted, RSS tries to mount the master (source) media. This requires that another drive be available.
• If a drive is available, the media copy continues. • If another drive is not available, RSS stops the media copy and posts the following Service log events. This behavior is by design to avoid deadlocks. RSS will not wait until another drive is available to make the media copy.
• If the master media mount was unsuccessful, the copy media is dismounted to free up the drive.
d. When the master media is successfully mounted, the RSS Media task (RsSub.exe) performs the actual copy operation. When the copy is complete, RSS records an event message in the Service log:
e. RSS then issues dismount commands to RSM for each piece of media, to free up the drives.
After a media copy is created, it will not appear under the Remote Storage snap-in Media icon. Only the master media is displayed under the Media icon. You can view media copies in RSM, under the Remote Storage media pool. The media copy names use the name syntax of the master, followed by the copy number:
RS-Machine_Name-1
RS-Machine_Name-1 (copy-1)
RS-Machine_Name-1 (copy-2)
RS-Machine_Name-2
RS-Machine_Name-2 (copy-1)
RS-Machine_Name-1 (copy-2)
If you have multiple master tapes, and you want multiple copies of each, repeat the process by running the Media Copy Synchronization wizard, or by manually running the associated scheduled task mentioned in step 1.
After a successful copy media operation, the copy version date and time will reflect the current master version date and time. If you perform a migrate operation to copy more files to the master media, the master version is more recent, and the copy is no longer current. The copy version date and time will reflect the older version of the master from which you made the copy.
You can manage copies by using RSS snap-in. Right-click the master media, and then click the Media copies tab. You will see the list of media copy names, status, and version, by date and time. You can delete a media copy from this list. Also, you can synchronize older media copies (which have the status out-of-date) by running the Synchronize Media Copies wizard again.
NOTE: An indicator that a media copy operation has been unsuccessful is an incorrect date and time stamp in place of the copy version information. If an operation is unsuccessful, RSS does not update the stamp.
1. When a media copy job is performed for the first time on the media, last copy time is initialized with zero.
2. Remote storage allocates the copy media. If the copy operation stops before completion, the copy time is not updated. Because it is the first time the job has been run, the time remains zero.
3. The user interface (UI) displays "zero time" as January 1, 1970 0:00 Greenwich mean time, which is zero for Microsoft Foundation Classes absolute time (CTime) class (which translates to December 31, 1969 16:00 Pacific time if the clock in your computer is set to Pacific time).
If, for any reason, an in-progress media copy operation stops, or you manually stop RsLaunch.exe by using Task Manager, the master, and copy media may remain in the libraries drives because RSS still has the resources open. If such an event occurs, restart the computer, or use the following method to dismount the tapes, and to free up the drives.
To dismount the media without restarting the computer, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.
2. Type net stop Remote Storage Media. This command will stop the Remote Storage Engine service.
3. From Removable Storage Manager, perform a manual dismount to free up the drives.
4. At a command prompt, type net start Remote Storage Engine. This command will start the Remote Storage Media service.
NOTE: If you try to open a file from a piece of media that is in the process of being copied, the request will not be fulfilled until the media copy operation is completed. You can cancel a copy media job, but the cancel will take place only after the current media copy is completed.
For example: You start a copy media job to create a copy set of tapes RS-1, RS-2, and RS-3. The copy for RS-1 is completed, and you cancel the copy media job while tape RS-2 is being copied. Media copy for tape RS-2 will continue, but RSS will not create a copy for tape RS-3. The media copy job will cancel after the copy of tape RS-2 is completed.
To ensure timely access to files, you should plan your copy media jobs to occur after normal operating hours so a file request will not occur while a copy operation is in progress.
