Using the Optical Disk Interface › Overview

Overview

CA View provides optional drivers that enable you to archive SYSOUT data to the following:

• FileTek Optical Disk Storage Machine
• Kodak Optistar Storage System
• IBM 3995 Optical Library Dataserver, models 131, 132, 133, and 153

Using the CA View optical disk driver also enables you to retrieve data from an optical disk to the CA View database to view or print.

After you configure CA View to use an optical disk driver, CA View archives SYSOUT data to three levels of storage:

• Primary disk (the CA View database)
• Secondary disk (optical disk; saved using the driver)
• Tape storage (CA View archival tapes)
