Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

The available volumes are as follows:

• Mounted on stand-alone devices.
• Available for labeling and accessible to the NetWorker server through Auto Media Management or a library.
• Labeled for the appropriate pool and already mounted in a device, or are available for mounting, if a library is being used.

If two or more volumes from the appropriate pool are available, the server uses this hierarchy to select a volume.

• A volume in a jukebox device has priority over volume in a disk or tape device.
• A volume in a local disk device has priority over a volume in a local tape device.
• If two local disk are available, then the device less data sessions will have priority.
• if two local tapes devices have available volumes, then NetWorker will use the volume with the earliest label date.
• If two jukebox are available, then NetWorker will select the volume with the earliest label date..
