11. JASMine Logical Storage Organization Store A logical entity made up of libraries, servers, data movers, and a database. Storage Group An object that belongs to a store and is itself a collection of storage groups or volume sets. Volume Set An object that belongs to a storage group and is itself a collection of volumes. Volume A unit of storage media. Bitfile The copy of a file that has been copied into a store.

12. Storage Group 2 Store Storage Group 1 Volume Set 1 Volume Set 2 Storage Group 3 Storage Group 4 Storage Group 5 Vol Volume Set 3 Volume Set 4 Volume Set 5 Vol Bitfiles

13. JASMine Physical Storage Organization Store A logical entity made up of libraries, servers, data movers, and a database. Library A set of volumes and drives. Drive A media reader or writer. Volume A unit of storage media.

14. JASMine Services Request Manager Handles user requests and queries. Scheduler Prioritizes user requests for tape access. priority = share / (.01 + (num_a * ACTIVE_WEIGHT) + (num_c * COMPLETED_WEIGHT) ) Log Manager Writes out log and error files and databases. Sends out notices for failures. Library Manager Mount and dismounts tapes as well as other library related tasks.

15. JASMine Services 2 Data Mover Dispatcher Keeps track of available local resources and starts requests the local system can work on. Cache Manager Manages a disk or disks for pre-staging data to and from tape. Sends and receives data to and from clients. Volume Manager Manages tapes for availability. Drive Manager Manages tape drives for usage.
