Volume states

Volumes pass through different states. The states are represented by symbols in the Storage Manager Explorer.

Open

This is the state of a volume as long as it is writable, meaning that its capacity has not been reached. Open volumes can generally be found in the write cache.

Closed

If the capacity limit of a volume is reached, it is closed to prevent additional writing to this volume. Closed volumes are put in a queue for creating an image file.

Waiting for image

Volumes in this state are in the queue for the burning/image process.

Creating the image (imaging)

For volumes in this state, an image is currently being created. Only one volume can be in this state at a time.

Waiting to burn/Copying

Volumes in this state are waiting for blanks in a CD/DVD jukebox, initiation of a manual burning process or copying to the defined image cache.

Creating

The creation of CDs/DVDs (original and copies) or image files is in progress.

Burned/Archived

The creation of CDs/DVDs is complete. The image\Smx_vol_standard.jpgimage\Smx_vol_standard_dvd.jpg
symbol shows you that you can remove the copies. If a jukebox is not available for burning, the burned medium can be inserted into one of the individual drives from the safe. The
image\Smx_vol_mounted.jpgimage\Smx_vol_mounted_dvd.jpg
symbol is displayed when the CD/DVD is placed in a drive.

 

When using image caches, the symbol indicates that the volume was successfully copied and verified.

The optional creation of Blu-ray media occurs using the connected Blu-ray hardware.
