Moving Media

To identify, move, and track sequential access primary and copy storage pool volumes that are managed by an automated library (including an external library), first complete the following fields and then click Finish, or click Cancel to end the task.

Volume Name

Enter the name of the sequential access primary or copy storage pool volume checked out of the library and changed to the Mountablenotinlib state.

Storage Pool

Enter the name of the sequential access primary or copy storage pool that is used to select the volumes for processing.

Days Not Referenced

Enter the number of days that are not referenced. The default is 0.

Where Volume Status

Select which output is displayed based on volume status.

Full ADSM displays volumes with a status of Full.
Filling ADSM displays volumes with a status of Filling.
Empty ADSM displays volumes with a status of Empty.

Access

Select which output is displayed based on the volume access mode.

ReadWrite ADSM displays volumes with an access mode of Readwrite.
ReadOnly ADSM displays volumes with an access mode of Readonly.

Where Volume State

Select the state of volumes to be processed.

All ADSM queries volumes in all states. The default is All.
Mountable inlib ADSM queries volumes that are mounted in the library and available for processing.
Mountable notinlib ADSM queries volumes that are not mounted in the library but are available for processing.

Overflow Location

Enter the location of the volumes being processed.

Remove Volume

Select whether to eject the volumes from the library during processing.

Yes ADSM ejects the volumes from the library during processing. This option deletes the volume entry from the ADSM library inventory. The default is Yes.
No ADSM does not eject the volumes from a SCSI library during processing. This option deletes the volume entry from the ADSM library inventory and leaves the volume in its slot.
Bulk For 349x libraries, ADSM 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.

Command

Enter the string of executable commands. For each volume successfully processed, ADSM writes the associated commands to a file.

Command File Name

Enter the full path name that will contain the commands specified with the Command parameter.

Append to Command File

Select whether to open the command file in append mode.

Yes ADSM opens the command file in append mode for writing at the end of the file.
No ADSM 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.
