Verify archive media

Verify archive media to ensure that the content is written successfully to the media and can be replayed by the search and replay application. You verify the media by replaying content directly from a specific archive device.

Before you begin

Recorder Manager must be launched from Enterprise Manager.

You cannot use this function if you have directly logged into an individual Recorder Manager. Verification is only available when Recorder Manager is launched from the Enterprise Manager.
You must have Verify Media privileges
The Playback component must be installed on any workstation that will be used for media verification.
All types of drives are available for media verification, however the status of the specified drive must be one of the following:
- Ready. The drive is ready to be written to.
- Full. The drive is full and cannot be written to.
- Replay. The drive is being used to replay a contact.
- Writing. The drive is currently writing a record. You can replay a call when the drive is in the writing state only if it is writing records to fixed media (SAN/Hard drive, EMC Centera, Amazon S3, or FTP drive). You cannot replay a call when the drive is in the writing state and writing records to removable media.

Procedure

Launch Recorder Manager from Enterprise Manager, and then click Operations > Archive > Drives. The drive management window is displayed, as described in Access Archive drive functions.
Select a drive, and then click Verify Media.

A list of the first five and last five recordings archived in the selected drive is displayed. See Verification result fields for a description of the information shown for each recording listed.
Double-click the Inum or Session ID you want to verify from the list.

Use the player controls to replay, pause, or stop the replaying of content. See Replay controls for specific details.
Click Done when finished.
When prompted:
- To indicate the media was verified successfully, have an audit record created, and then return to the Drives list page, click Yes.
- To return to the Drives list page, click No.

Verification result fields

Item	Description
Inum	The INUM is a unique database content identifier, typically identifying contact file names, generated on each Recorder. The INUM consists of 15 decimal digits of which the first 6 are the Recorder's serial number and the rest are sequentially incremented by the Recorder as new recordings arrive, such as 600001000000001, where 60001 is the Recorder serial number and 000,000,001 is the incremented number.
Archive Time	Date and time stamp that indicates when the content was archived to the storage device. This is the date and time converted to the time zone of the PC where the media is being verified, and not necessarily the time when the call was archived.
