IBM RELEASE 7.3 Computer Drive User Manual


 
Fill Increment = 10
Volume Label = "AA0070"
Labels automatically inserted into Volume List:
"AA0070"
"AA0080"
"AA0090"
"AA0100"
"AA0110"
"AA0120"
When an addition produces overflow in a column, numerical columns are carried over properly to
alphabetic columns and vice versa.
Example:
Fill Count = 6
Fill Increment = 2000
Volume Label= "AA7329"
Labels automatically inserted into Volume List:
"AA7329"
"AA9329"
"AB1329"
“AB3329”
“AB5329”
“AB7329”
The filling will not occur and an error will be displayed if the specified values would generate an invalid
volume label (e.g., one greater than zzz999).
To specify a list of volumes from a file, create a file containing the name of each volume to be moved on
a separate line. Volume names must be six alphanumeric characters. No other characters are allowed on
the line. The file must be accessible from the host on which the hpssgui is executing. Enter the name of
the file in the File Containing Volume List field. The volume names from the file will be added to the
Volume List.
Each cartridge in the list is sent to the System Manager as a separate move request. If an error occurs on
a request, SSM stops processing the list of cartridges at that point. The window status line will report the
number of successful moves, and the cartridge name that caused the failure. For example, if you try to
move a cartridge to a PVR, and that cartridge is already controlled by that PVR, an error will occur.
Therefore, if a multi-cartridge move fails, you cannot click the Move Cartridge button to retry the same
list of cartridges, because the ones that succeeded before will now fail. You must first remove the
successfully moved cartridges from the list. The Clear Selected button is provided for this purpose.
Field Descriptions
New PVR. The descriptive name of the PVR to which the cartridges will be moved.
File Containing Volume List. The name of an external file containing a list of cartridge labels to be
added to the end of the Volume List.
