description

+---------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | Property of the US Government. | | No permission to copy or redistribute this software is given. | | Use of unreleased versions of this software requires the user | | to execute a written test agreement with the VistA Imaging | | Development Office of the Department of Veterans Affairs, | | telephone (301) 734-0100. | | | | The Food and Drug Administration classifies this software as | | a medical device. As such, it may not be changed in any way. | | Modifications to this software may result in an adulterated | | medical device under 21CFR820, the use of which is considered | | to be a violation of US Federal Statutes. | | | +---------------------------------------------------------------+ This file holds one record for each "device" in use. For example, if there is a consolidated site with a RAID in place A, a RAID in place B, and an archive in place B, there would be 3 entries in the table. Each storage provider has a type, as well as fields such as Archive, Primary (i.e. "RAID"), etc. These will be used to determine whether a particular configuration is valid at configuration and runtime.

Fields

#	Name	Location	Type	Details	Index	Description
.01	storage place(+)	0;1	POINTER	2006.1	B	This is a Place. Links the storage provider to its home place. The Storage Place value is used to look up the current write location for the device in the IMAGING SITE PARAMETER file (#2006.1).
2	storage provider type(+)	0;2	FREE TEXT			Type of storage provider. Examples of types could include: RAID Jukebox Centera Bycast Etc.
3	active(+)	0;3	BOOLEAN	0:No 1:Yes		Since many data records may be linked to a storage provider, it is not safe to delete them. However, the storage provider can be deactivated (logically deleted) by setting this flag to false ("0"), so that it won't be available to map to retention policies, etc.
4	archive(+)	0;4	BOOLEAN	0:No 1:Yes		This field indicates whether the storage provider can act as an archive (true: "1"). This flag is NOT mutually exclusive with PRIMARY STORAGE field (#2006.917,5). A single storage provider (such as a grid system) could act as both a RAID-like primary storage provider and an archive.
5	primary storage(+)	0;5	BOOLEAN	0:No 1:Yes		This field indicates whether the storage provider can act as RAID-like primary storage (true: "1"). This flag is NOT mutually exclusive with ARCHIVE field (#2006.917,4). A single storage provider (such as a grid system) could act as both a RAID-like primary storage provider and an archive.
6	writable(+)	0;6	BOOLEAN	0:No 1:Yes		If a storage provider is still available for read operations, but should not be written to, this flag can be set to false ("0"). Note that this sits at a level higher than a specific share. Existing mechanisms to take a particular share offline, while leaving the others available for write, will still work.
