Managing the AMASS File System
6-00028-01 Rev A Command Reference 3-139
Requirements
Before using this command:
• Two drives are required—one drive to read the source
volume and one drive to write to the destination media. The
drives can be either standalone or in a library.
- Although a standalone drive can be used, it is tedious
because you must manually flip each volume several
times. If you use a standalone drive you must also use
the Standalone Operator Interface, which is run by
using the sysop command. For complete information
about this interface, refer to the Interface to Standalone
Drives chapter in Accessing Storage Devices.
• The source volume must be:
- Marked Online and Active in the File System Database
- In its home storage slot at the beginning of the volcopy
process
• The destination media must be:
- An unknown piece of media. Unknown media does not
have a volume number assigned by AMASS;
therefore, the volume does not have an entry in the
Database.
If you need to use media previously used by AMASS,
make sure you use the voldelete command to delete all
the files on the media and to delete the volume number
from the Database.
