Managing the AMASS File System

Prepare Media to be the Backup Volume

Running the installation script created a Backup Volume entry in the AMASS File System Database. To prepare media to be the specified Backup Volume, perform the steps in the following table.

The Backup Volume must be identified as volume number 1 and have an INACTIVE status in the AMASS File System Database. An INACTIVE status means that AMASS cannot read or write to the volume.

Note

For detailed information on the AMASS commands, see the "Command Reference" chapter.

Slot Position

AMASS assumes the Backup Volume is in either the first or last slot, depending on the library; therefore no slot designation is required. If you have more than one library connected to AMASS, put the Backup Volume in the last slot in the first library. The Backup Volume in network-attached libraries can be in any slot so a slot designation is required.
