Notes:
- The ELEMENT parameter is valid only for drives in SCSI libraries.
- The ACSDRVID parameter is valid only for drives in ACSLS libraries.
Parameters
- library_name (Required)
- Specifies the name of the library to which the drive is assigned.
- drive_name (Required)
- Specifies the name that is assigned to the drive.
- DEVIce
- Specifies the name of the device that corresponds to the drive. For
example, you might specify mt3. This parameter is
optional. For additional information about device names, see the DEVICE
parameter description of the DEFINE DRIVE command and the
Administrator's Guide.
- ONLine
- Specifies whether the drive is available for use. This parameter is
optional.
- YES
- Specifies that the drive is available for use (online).
- No
- Specifies that the drive is not available for use (offline).
Note: | You can make a drive offline even when the drive is in use, but this is not
recommended. The currently mounted volume will complete its process and
the drive will become offline following the dismount. If this volume
was part of a series of volumes for a given transaction, the drive will no
longer be available to complete mounting the series. If no other drives
are available, this transaction may fail.
|
- ELEMent
- Specifies the new value to be used for the drive's element address
within a SCSI library. This parameter is optional and is only valid for
a drive located in a SCSI library. To find the element address for your
library configuration, access the TSM Web site at:
http://www.tivoli.com/tsm
. At this URL, click on Product Details, click on
Supported Device Lists, click on your product, and then the
appropriate device.
- ACSDRVID
- Specifies the ID of the drive being accessed. The drive ID is a set
of numbers that indicates the physical location of a drive within an ACSLS
library. This drive ID must be specified as a,l,p,d, where a is the
acsid, l is the LSM (library storage module), p is the panel number, and d is
the drive ID. TSM needs the drive ID to connect the physical location
of the drive to the drive's SCSI address. See your STK
documentation for details.
- CLEANFREQuency
- Specifies how often TSM activates drive cleaning. You must have a
cleaner cartridge checked into the library's volume inventory to use this
parameter. This parameter is optional. The default is
NONE.
Note: | Use TSM-controlled drive cleaning only for SCSI libraries that do not have
automatic cleaning support in their device hardware.
|
- NONE
- Specifies that TSM does not track cleaning for this drive. Use this
parameter for libraries that have their own automatic cleaning.
- ASNEEDED
- Specifies that TSM loads the drive with a checked-in cleaner cartridge
only when a drive reports to the device driver that it needs cleaning.
- value
- Specifies (in gigabytes) how much data will process on the drive before
TSM loads the drive with a cleaner cartridge. TSM resets the
gigabytes-processed counter each time it loads a cleaner cartridge in the
drive.
Examples
Task
Update the drive named DRIVE3 located in the library named AUTO by changing
the element address to 119.
- Command:
- update drive auto drive3 element=119
