List.
To automatically generate a list of volume names in the Volume List, set the Fill Count to the desired
number of volumes. Set the Fill Increment to the number by which each automatically generated label
should differ from the previous one. Then type the starting volume name into the Volume Label fiel d.
The specified number of volume names will be added to the Volume List, each one larger than the
previous entry by the specified Fill Increment.
Example:
Fill Count = 6
Fill Increment = 10
Volume Label = "AA0070"
Labels automatically inserted into Volume List table:
"AA0070"
"AA0080"
"AA0090"
"AA0100"
"AA0110"
"AA0120"
When an addition produces overflow in a column, numerical columns are carried over properly to
alphabetic columns and vice versa.
Example:
Fill Count = 6
Fill Increment = 2000
Volume Label= "AA7329"
Labels automatically inserted into Volume List table:
"AA7329"
"AA9329"
"AB1329"
“AB3329”
“AB5329”
“AB7329”
Once the Core Server completes the Create request, SSM reports the number of physical volumes and
virtual volumes created in the window status field.
