directive, this file is archived to two drives in parallel. Segments 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 are
archived using the first drive, and segments 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 are archived using the
second drive.
Only segments that have been modified are archived. Up to four archive copies can
be made for each segment. Sun StorageTek SAM also supports volume overflow for
segments.
Note – The index of a segmented file contains no user data. It is considered
metadata and is assigned to the file system archive set.
Disaster Recovery
For information about recovering a segmented file in the event of a disaster, see the
Sun StorageTek Storage Archive Manager Troubleshooting Guide.
Using System Error Facility Reporting
The system error facility (SEF) reporting system captures log sense data from tape
devices in an automated library, writes it to a log file, and translates it into human-
readable form. It consists of the following:
■ A log file containing data from tape device log sense pages.
■ A command, sefreport(1M), for writing the log file to stdout in a
human-readable format. This log file can be used as input to a user-supplied
analysis script.
The log sense pages differ from vendor to vendor. For the meanings of the parameter
codes, control bits, and parameter values, see the vendor documentation for each
specific device.
SEF is not supported for stand-alone tape drives. SEF reporting is most useful for
older SCSI-2 devices that do not support the tapealert(1M) functionality. For more
information, see the tapealert(1M) man page.
