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.
