Buttons

Reclaim. Press this button to start the reclaim utility program on the indic ated storage class. Tape

volumes that are described as EMPTY, and are not retired, will be reclaimed. Status messages are

displayed on the status bar at the bottom of the window at the start and end of the reclaim.

SSM invokes the reclaim utility program and passes it the storage class and number of tape volumes t o

be reclaimed, as entered on the Reclaim Virtual Volumes window. The utilit y program selects empty tape

volumes from the storage class until it selects the required number or the supply of empty volumes is

exhausted. The volumes are reclaimed and immediately become available for use.

The reclaim utility can also be invoked as a command line utility. Used this way, the user has more

flexibility in choosing options and can monitor the program's progress. Refer to the reclaim man page for

more information on how to invoke the utility.

8.5. Volume Management

This section describes how to monitor and manage PVL volumes, PVR cartridges, and Core Server Disk

and Tape volumes.

8.5.1. Lookup Cartridge s & Volumes Window

This window allows you to access information windows for PVR cartridges, PVL volumes, and Core

Server volumes. After pressing a button to perform a lookup operation, this window will remain open to

allow additional lookups.

Field Descriptions

Cartridge Name. The six-character cartridge label. A string exactly six character s long must be entered

in this field.

Partition Number. This field is no longer used and should always be “00”.

Buttons

PVR Cartridge (tape only). Once you have filled in the cartridge name, clicking on this button will open

the PVR Cartridge Information window for the specified cartridge. This metadata is created when the

cartridge is successfully imported.

PVL Volume. Once you have filled in both fields, clicking on this button will open the PVL Volume

Information window for the specified volume. This metadata is created when the volume is succes sfully
