ADIC FileServ Version 4.0 600716 Rev A manual Before new media is introduced to the storage

AdministrativeTasks

Each type of media supported by FileServ has a default media length specified in the system parameters; -DEF_MED_SPC_mediatype. If two media of the same type have a different length, the -loption of the fsmedin command overrides the default value. For example, if two libraries are used the default media length can only apply to one library. Therefore, whenever adding blank media to the other library, the -l option must be used.

Step 1.	Before new media is introduced to the storage
	subsystem, a barcode label must be applied to the
	outer edge of the media. If the label on media is
	marred when the media is entered, the media is
	automatically ejected from the storage subsystems.
	In this case, remove and replace the label. Blank
	media are entered by the VolServ operator using the
	Import command and the MediaClass
	F#_XXX_ADDBLANK.
Step 2.	Run the fsmedin command with the -boption.
Step 3.	Specify the -qquantity option to enter a specific
	quantity of media. The maximum number that can
	be specified is 99.
Step 4.	Define the media type (-t) to be used. The media
	type is required for a system that handles multiple
	media types.
