Setting the Default Export Rule
The default export rule specifies the destination for virtual media when it is exported from the Pathlight VX.
Use this procedure to set up the default export rule to apply to virtual media upon export. The default export
rule only applies to new media introduced into the Pathlight VX, it does not affect media already in the
system. To change the export rule for media already in the Pathlight VX, navigate to Operations→ Media
Management→ Virtual→ Media Export Rules and refer to Setting Media Access Rules
on page 86.
1 From the menu bar, select Setup→ Default Export Rule.
The Setup - Default Export Rule screen appears.
2 Select a default export rule. Available options are:
• I/E Station - This rule exports physical media from the Pathlight VX through a physical library's I/E
station. The physical media is moved to the I/E station, and the disk where the virtual tape was
stored is released so it can be reused.
• Storage Slot (offline media) - This rule exports media from a virtual library to a physical library in
offline status. Instead of moving the physical media out of the library though the I/E station, the
media is placed into a slot in the library's main storage area and held there in offline status (creating
'offline library media').
3 Click Apply.
The Progress Window appears.
• If Success appears in the Progress Window: The selected export rule was successfully set up as
the default.
• If Failure appears in the Progress Window: The selected export rule was not set up as the default.
To view the troubleshooting procedures, click View Recommended Actions. To view the error
details, click Error Log for information on why the selection was not set up as the default export
rule. To set a default export rule, repeat Step 2
and Step 3.
4 Click Close to close the Progress Window.
Note
Once the Progress Window appears, you cannot cancel or stop this action.
However, you can close the window by clicking the X in the upper-right of the
screen, but confirmation of success or failure is NOT shown.
