Adding and

labeling new media (command line)

The Add Vol

umes wizard mentioned in “Adding and labeling new media (We b interface)”onpage94

gathers i

nformation to build the necessary Tivoli command. The command can be issued on the

command l

ine m anually (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 lib

vol 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 sho

uld now see the same command and additional information in the monitoring console.

When th

eprocessisﬁnished you should see o utput that looks something like this:

ANR881

0I Volume TAPE.8 has been labeled in library LIB.TAPE.

ANR881

0I Volume TAPE.9 has been labeled in library LIB.TAPE.

ANR880

1I LAB E L LI BVOLUME process 96 for library LIB.TAPE completed;

2volum

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

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

LABEL libvolume LIB.TAPE search=yes labelsource=barcode overwrite=YES
