External Volumes

Many data centers regularly receive volumes from other sites. Such data centers can introduce these volumes to Control-M/Tape by checking them in using the Online facility, or using Automatic Check-In.

In either case, these volumes are marked as External volumes. (In Automatic Check-In, this is controlled by an installation parameter.)

External volumes are listed in a separate pool in the report produced by Retention Management utility CTTRTM.

External volumes can optionally be deleted from the Media Database when they are expired by utility CTTRTM.

When deleted, External volumes are actually deleted from the Media Database, unlike regular volumes, that are marked Deleted but remain in the Media Database.
