Checked-out blank media can be re-entered into the FileServ
system using the fsmedin -r command. If the re-entry of the
Checked-out media is no longer required, the fsrminfo
command is used to remove all knowledge of the media from
the FileServ system.
Remove Blank Media
The fsmedout -b command allows removal of blank media.
The media specified in the fsmedout command is logically
removed from FileServ, then physically removed from the
storage subsystem by the VolServoperator after performing an
Eject function.
The issuer of the fsmedout request is notified that the
operation is successful when the logical remove is complete. If
media (specified for removal) is not found or does not fit the
criteria specified in the options on the command, a message is
returned for that media and the process continues for the
remaining media specified.
After media is assigned to a DataClass group for file storage, it
stays assigned to that DataClass group, even when all of the
files on the media are deleted. The media reverts back to a blank
status (depending on the cleanup action specified for the
DataClass group). The fsmedout command removes blank
media from the general blank pool or blanks allocated to a
specific DataClass group.
Caution
If you use the fsrminfo command to remove files, both the
primary and secondary copies are removed. However, only
the primary copycan be recovered.
