The Vault Definition screen is accessed by option TV of the IOA Primary Option menu. This screen can be used to view, modify and create vault definitions.
A vault is a media storage location (usually, but not necessarily, off-site) for inactive volumes (for example, backup volumes). A vault definition defines the vault name, location, and optionally, the capacity of the vault.
Off-site vaults are called Remote vaults. Vaults at the same location as the active library are called Local vaults.
The smallest unit that can be transferred to a vault is a volume. Volumes can be transferred from vault to vault, or back to the active library, based on vault patterns.
Vault patterns dictate the movement of volumes between storage locations, based on retention periods specified (in rule definitions) for each location. A vault pattern that is defined in a rule can specify an unlimited number of vaults.
Distribution reports, pick lists, and inventory reports can be printed for each vault.
Vaults are defined to Control-M/Tape using the Vault Definition screen. Vault definitions are stored in tables (members) that are stored in definition libraries.
