NOTE: Use this

based on an inventory of the library,

AMASS synchronizes both the Database

option if you have not

and the library’s interface.

recently updated the

 

library’s interface.

Because of the synchronization process,

 

this task takes longer to complete than

 

using no options.

 

The status of a volume in the Database is

 

based on an inventory of the library,

 

regardless of the entry in the library’s

 

interface.

 

For example, if media is marked On-line in

 

the library’s interface but the volume is not

 

in the library, AMASS marks the volume

 

Off-line in the Database.

 

 

volumegroup

Enter the volume group assignment for

(defaults to 0)

the media. Valid assignments are:

 

 

• A numeric value (1 through 2047)

 

• SP (space pool). A volume with files on it

 

cannot be assigned to the space pool.

 

• CL (cleaning group)

 

• MV, media verification group for the

 

optional Infinite File Life feature

 

NOTE: You cannot change assignments

 

with this command. To change an

 

assignment, use the AMASS volgroup

 

command.
