Configuring Disk Group Volume Information - System Administration - On-Premises - English - Foundation 22.1 - OnBase - Essential - Premier - Standard - external - Standard - Essential - Premier

The Volume Information dialog box gives details of each Disk Group volume and allows you to modify the current configuration of the platters.

It displays the following information:

• Volume: Lists each of the created volumes for the Disk Group. When you select a volume, the platter copies for that volume are listed in the Platters box in the top right corner of the dialog box. When a different volume is selected in the Volume section, the information in the Platters section will change to show the copies for that volume.

• Platters: Shows the volumes (Platters) and their current size in KB (Used).

The Platter Information section displays platter configuration settings that can be edited, with certain restrictions imposed according to the platter type. These settings include:

• Search Order: Up and Down can be used to move the order of the platter (copy) in the volume.

  Note:

  The first copy, the uncommitted mass storage copy, will always remain first in the search list. Its order cannot be modified, nor can its type.

• Platter Path: This field is used to specify where the data in the volume is stored on the network. The path can be edited if moved. If the platter is a backup that has not yet been created, the path is listed as Not Created.

  Note:

  Documents should not be edited, moved, copied, deleted, or otherwise managed in the physical Disk Group folder without using the OnBase interfaces. The OnBase clients and Configuration module provide the ability to fully manage documents stored in OnBase, as well as providing additional security, disk management, and backup benefits.

• Platter Type: Sets the storage medium for the platter. This setting is reflected in the Platters section, using a string of several characters. The first character in the string indicates the overall platter type. More than one Secondary Character can be used.

  Platter Type (1st Character)	Description
  M	Mass Storage
  R	Removable
  B	Backup
  I	Import
  F	Foreign
  E	Externally Filled

  Platter Type (Secondary Characters)	Description
  U	Uncommitted
  A	Auto Delete
  N	Not Movable
  D	Dedicated
  W	WORM

  Note:

  The Uncommitted option is not available for selection. Only the first copy will be marked as Uncommitted.

• Alias ID File Name: No path is specified for a Foreign copy when it is created. The path to the copy is entered manually in Alias ID File Name. OnBase checks for the existence of this file when performing Disk Group functions, but does not read the file.

• Disk Alias: The Disk Alias bar will show the Import label identification of an import platter. This bar will be unavailable for any other type of platter.

• Platter State: Sets the availability of the platter for Disk Management and configuration functions. The current state of the platter is reflected in the Platters section, using a single-character indicator.

Codes for failed backup copies are also indicated by a single-character indicator.

• Media Information: Indicates if a volume is managed by an external storage device. The external storage devices listed in this pane require additional licensing. See the corresponding module reference guide for details.
