===Media Pools===

In Sesam media are grouped into '''media-pools''' .
The identification of a particular medium is always "`pool-name + 5-digit number"', this is the reason why a pool-name is never allowed to end with 5 digits.

Media pools provide the main base for building up backup strategies. The user can set up and manage media pools for working days, weekends, specific locations, specific types, databases and more. The virtual DISK-Media are also configured by means of media pools since the pool inherits the directory and capacity information.

'''Properties'''

;Name			: identification of the new pool
;Description		: User comment
;Drive Group		: selection of a drive group


 The sequence for a backup is '''Task -> Mediapool -> Disk Drive Group'''


;Media Strategy		: GET_OLDEST strategy, i.e. the oldest, unlocked, type-compatible, EOL-free (EndOfLifetime) media of the pool is used
;Change Strategy	: TIME (avoiding tape winding times) pre-set

<!--TODO-INHALT raus damit wie in Kapitel 5 (siehe BUGS)-->
;Locked [Days]		: number of days for which the media  must be write protected after an initialization
;			: EOL = EndOfLife is Initialization date + Lock days
;opt.Directory		: for DISK_HARD only: specifies the directory on the disk in which the virtual media should be created
;opt.Capacity		: for DISK_HARD only: specifies the maximum available capacity on the disk for this media pool 
;			: This determines the maximum possible number of DISK-media within this pool

 The maximum size of a Media Pool is influenced by SEP licensing!

;opt. Use Storage Pools: only with DISK_HARD. Distribute the ''DISK'' Media pools to different backup locations.

====Storage Pools====

(From Sesam Version 3.4)<BR>
We have added an additional check box under ''Components->Mediapool'' with ''Use Storage Pools''. If this option is selected you will be asked if ''Storage Pool'' mechanisms should be activated. A detailed description on how to configure Storage Pools can be found under [[How to use Storagepools| Using Storagepools]].


[[Image:Medienpoolmitstorage_en.jpg|center]]


After accepting this option a dialog box appears to ''create the Storage Pools''.


[[Image:Storagepoolalegen_en.jpg|center]]


After selection of at least one Storage Pool, click ''OK'' and return to the ''Media Pool Dialog'' which now has a new flag ''Storage Pool''.


[[Image:Storagepoolszuweisen_en.jpg|center]]


Now with this Media Pool a subset of the defined Storage Pools can be selected, e.g. 1 to n)

After saving the Media Pools the Storage Pool is activated.
