Manage and Review Iron Mountain Requests

The View Iron Mountain Request page enables the submission of requests to the FTP site that Iron Mountain monitors. See the Iron Mountain Guide for more information on configuring this option.

Helpful Tip
A selection for Off Site Vendor is not needed for new boxes as long as the requested destination is an Iron Mountain location. Having Iron Mountain as a choice of Off-Site Vendor for a box represents the fact that Iron Mountain has knowledge of and has registered the Box. New boxes don’t need this value from the Iron Mountain perspective until they are picked up for the first time.
From within Gimmal Physical, the Off-Site Vendor selection will not be enabled until a new Box is first transferred to Iron Mountain. The workflow is intended to be the following:
The user creates a Box. At this point, the new Box will have the default Current Location of the User and the default Home Location of Iron Mountain.
The user requests pickup of the Box to be sent to Iron Mountain. Because the default Home Location is already Iron Mountain, no changes should be needed on the request page.
Note: If the default home location was not set in the earlier step, ensure that the Iron Mountain location is specified as the new destination as part of the request.Because the Box is being sent to Iron Mountain, it will appear in the Iron Mountain requests queue.
When the request is submitted from the Iron Mountain request queue page:
It will be processed through the Iron Mountain integration.
Gimmal Physical will transfer the Box to the Iron Mountain location within the application.
This transfer step will assign the Iron Mountain to the Off-Site Vendor value at the Box level.
From this point forward, the Off-Site Vendor value will be set to Iron Mountain for that Box. Any subsequent requests for that box will go directly through the Iron Mountain queue.
