If media has been removed from a library, juke, or standalone drive, you must use the Offline Media Manger to access the offline media. When a file is accessed on offline media, a prompt asks the operator to load the correct volume into a drive so the request can be satisfied. For more information, refer to the "Operational Tasks" chapter in Managing the AMASS File System.

Text Import and Export

From the Source

AMASS System

The vgexport and vgimport commands allow customers to move volume groups between two different AMASS systems.

The vgexport command exports the metadata (found on the source File System Database) for the specified volume group to standard out (stdout).
