Insert VTS Logical Volumes Status

The Insert VTS Logical Volumes Status pop-up window displays the status of the logical insert operation. It displays the range of volsers to be inserted and which volser is currently being inserted. The status is automatically updated every 5 seconds.

Eject a VTS Stacked Volume

 

The Eject a VTS Stacked Volume pop-up window allows a stacked volume to be

 

ejected from the library. Enter the stacked volume's volser then select the Eject

 

button. The list box displays the stacked volumes that are currently in the process

 

of being ejected.

 

When a stacked volume eject is initiated, a request is sent to the associated VTS to

 

eject the stacked volume. The VTS then copies any active data off of the stacked

 

volume onto other stacked volumes. When all active data has been removed, the

 

VTS initiates the eject of the now empty stacked volume. This process can take a

long time.

Notes:

1. If the Library Manager is busy, the VTS is busy, and the stacked volume being

ejected contains many active data ®les, the eject process may take a VERY

long time (up to several hours).

2. Only one eject of a stacked volume can be in-progress for each VTS. If more

than one is attempted, an error popup message will result.

3. Exported Stacked Volumes (those in the Unassigned, Import or Export-Hold

categories) cannot be ejected using this panel. If this is attempted, an error

popup message will result.
