Figure: Summary of storage administration responsibilities

Storage administration involves the following tasks:

Install Vault	Storage administration installs Vault on a NetBackup primary server. See the NetBackup Vault Administrator's Guide.
Configure Vault	Storage administration provides configuration information in profiles, that contain the rules Vault uses to select images to duplicate or eject from the robot. Storage administration accesses Vault through the NetBackup Administration Console or through the Vault Administration menu user interface (vltadm). See the NetBackup Vault Administrator's Guide.
Monitor Vault	Storage administration monitors Vault activity by using the NetBackup Administration Console and by reading the session log files for information about vault sessions. If email notification is enabled in the profile, session information is sent to the appropriate personnel.
Administer media	Storage administration determines which volume pools and volume groups hold the media and must allocate sufficient media for vaulting needs. See the NetBackup Vault Administrator's Guide.
Notify operations of change in status	Storage administration must report any change in daily run status to operations. In most situations, Vault jobs are scheduled to run each day. If duplications are ever postponed, storage administration notifies operations of the job status.
