To assign a sequential access volume to a storage pool, first complete the following fields and then click Finish, or click Cancel to end the task.
Select the name of the storage pool to which the volume is assigned.
Enter the name of the storage pool volume. The volume name cannot contain any embedded blanks or equal signs. Use the following naming conventions when specifying volumes for each device type:
Device Type | Name Requirements |
File | Specify any fully qualified name string, for example: /data/fpool01.dsm |
Server | Specify 1-250 alphanumeric characters. |
3570, 3590, 8mm, Cartridge, LTO, QIC | Specify 1-6 alphanumeric characters. |
Note: Each volume used by a server for any purpose must have a unique name. This requirement applies to all volumes, whether the volumes are used for storage pools, or used for operations such as database backup or export. The requirement also applies to volumes that reside in different libraries but that are used by the same server.
Select how client nodes and server processes (such as migration) can access files in the storage pool volume. The default is Readwrite.
Readwrite | Specifies that client nodes and server processes can read from and write to files stored on the volume. |
Readonly | Specifies that client nodes and server processes can only read files stored on the volume. |
Unavailable | Specifies that neither client nodes nor server processes can access files stored on the volume. The server does not attempt to access the volume. |
Offsite | Specifies that the volume is at an offsite location from which it cannot be mounted. This value is valid only for a volume in a copy storage pool. |
Enter the location of the volume. This field is optional. The maximum length is 255 characters.
