HP RISS Components manual Adding and labeling new media command line, Server process list

A search begins for new volumes in the library. You can monitor the status of the search by selecting the backup sever properties and clicking Server Processes as shown in the figure below. When the search ends, the new media appears in the library volumes list.

Adding and labeling new media (command line)

The Add Volumes wizard mentioned in "Adding and labeling new media (Web interface)" on page 102 gathers information to build the necessary Tivoli command. The command can be issued on the command line manually (for example, if the Web interface is not available).

The following command (which includes no line break) is equivalent to the procedure that was described in the previous section:

LABEL libvol LIB.TAPE search=yes labelsource=vollist

vollist=TAPE.8,TAPE.9 overwrite=YES checkin=SCRATCH WAITTIME=60

This command causes Tivoli Storage Manager to search for media and label them according to the names specified as vollist. It also checks in the new volumes. Use the following procedure to issue the command:

1.Open two ssh sessions to the PCC machine. Use one to observe the command.

2.In the first shell, type the command: dsmadmc –con. The Tivoli monitoring console opens.

3.In the second shell, begin the Tivoli command line interface by typing dsmadmc and issue the libvol command as described.

Note that the volume labels that are specified as a list are separated by commas with no spaces between.

4.You should now see the same command and additional information in the monitoring console. When the process is finished you should see output that looks something like this:

ANR8810I Volume TAPE.8 has been labeled in library LIB.TAPE. ANR8810I Volume TAPE.9 has been labeled in library LIB.TAPE. ANR8801I LABEL LIBVOLUME process 96 for library LIB.TAPE completed;

2 volume(s) labeled, 2 volume(s) checked-in.

If the library has a barcode reader, change the command to use the barcodes as volume labels:
