MVC Migration Tool
As shown in Figure 2-4 , the MVC Migration tool evaluates existing tape systems, tape me-
dia, channels, and data set size to estimate the number of Multiple Volume Cartridges
(MVCs) required for a VSM installation at intervals of 90 days, 180 days, 270 days, one
year, two years, and 3 years, and the amount of time needed to migrate data from existing
manual or Nearline tape devices to the proposed VSM5 system.
