Library Properties (General)

Use this dialog box to view or modify the properties of a disk 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.

MediaAgent

The name of the MediaAgent that controls the library.

No. of Mount Paths

The total number of mount paths defined for the library.

Low Watermark (in %)

The minimum amount of free space at which the low watermark warning should be generated. If the amount of free space, for all the combined mount paths, reaches or falls below the low watermark, the system adds an entry in the Event Viewer and sends an Insufficient Storage Alert, if configured.

Status

The status of the library.

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.

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.

Mark Archive Files as Read-Only

When selected, the system subsequently creates archive files in the disk library with read-only permissions.

When cleared the system (subsequently) creates archive files in the disk library with all permissions.

Use this option to create read-only archive files on NetApp SnapLock volumes with access time set according to the retention days specified in the storage policy copy.

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:

Description

Use this field to enter a description about the entity. This description can include information about the entity's content, cautionary notes, etc.

Offline Reason

Indicates the offline reason, when the Status of the library is displayed as Offline.
