To identify, move, and track sequential access primary and copy storage pool volumes that are managed by an automated library (including an external library managed by an external media management system), first complete the following fields and then click Finish, or click Cancel to end the task.
Enter the name of the sequential access primary or copy storage pool volume checked out of the library and changed to the Mountable notinlib state.
Enter the name of the sequential access primary or copy storage pool that is used to select the volumes for processing.
Enter the number of days that are not referenced. The default is 0.
Select which output is displayed based on volume status. More than one status in a list can be specified by separating each status with a comma with no intervening spaces. This parameter is optional.
Full | Tivoli Storage Manager displays volumes with a status of Full. |
Filling | Tivoli Storage Manager displays volumes with a status of Filling. |
Empty | Tivoli Storage Manager displays volumes with a status of Empty. |
Select which output is displayed based on the volume access mode. This parameter is optional.
ReadWrite | Tivoli Storage Manager displays volumes with an access mode of Readwrite. |
ReadOnly | Tivoli Storage Manager displays volumes with an access mode of Readonly. |
Select the state of volumes to be processed. This parameter is optional.
Mountable inlib | Tivoli Storage Manager queries volumes that are mounted in the library and available for processing. The default value is Mountable inlib. |
Mountable notinlib | Tivoli Storage Manager queries volumes that are not mounted in the library but are available for processing. |
Enter the location of the volumes being processed. The maximum length of the location information is 255 characters.
Select whether to eject the volumes from the library during processing.
Yes | Tivoli Storage Manager ejects the volumes from the library during processing. This option deletes the volume entry from the Tivoli Storage Manager library inventory. The default is Yes. |
No | Tivoli Storage Manager does not eject the volumes from a
SCSI library during processing. This option deletes the volume
entry from the Tivoli Storage Manager library inventory and leaves the
volume in its slot.
The REMOVE=NO option is not honored for EXTERNAL, RSM, or 349X libraries. REMOVE=YES is used instead, and the volume is ejected from the library. In addition, the volume entry is deleted from the library inventory. |
Bulk | For 349x libraries, Tivoli Storage Manager ejects the volume to a predefined high capacity area, instead of an I/O station, in the library. For SCSI libraries with multiple Entry/Exit ports, it specifies that the volume is ejected to the next available Entry/Exit port. |
Enter the string of executable commands. For each volume successfully processed, Tivoli Storage Manager writes the associated commands to a file. The maximum length of the command specification is 255 characters.
Enter the full path name that will contain the commands specified with the Command parameter. The name can be 1 to 1279 characters.
Select whether to open the command file in append mode.
Yes | Tivoli Storage Manager opens the command file in append mode for writing at the end of the file. |
No | Tivoli Storage Manager does not open the command file in append mode, but writes the data from the beginning of the command file. If the given command file exists, its contents are destroyed. The default is No. |
