Checking Out a Library Volume

To remove a volume from an automated library, first complete the following fields and then click Finish, or click Cancel to end this task.

Check Label

Select how or whether ADSM should read sequential media labels of volumes.

Yes Specifies that during checkout an attempt is made to read the media label. Reading the media label verifies that the correct volume is being checked out. The default is Yes.
No Specifies that during checkout the media label is not read. This increases performance since the read process does not occur.

Force

Select whether ADSM checks out a storage volume if there is an input/output (I/O) error reading the label.

Yes Specifies that ADSM checks out the storage volume even when an I/O error reading the label occurs.
No Specifies that ADSM does not check out a storage volume when there is an I/O error reading the label. The default is No.

Remove

Select whether ADSM ejects a volume during command processing from an IBM 3494 library.

Yes Specifies that a volume is ejected during command processing. The volume entry is deleted from the ADSM library inventory. The default is Yes.
No Specifies that a volume is not ejected during command processing.
Bulk Specifies that the volume is ejected to a predefined high capacity area, instead of an I/O station, in the library. This parameter only applies to libraries with a defined bulk eject area (for example, 349X libraries). This parameter does not apply to a library type of SCSI or EXTERNAL.
