Create Volume
The Create Volume page is used to create new volumes, label them, add them to the
library and catalog them in an external catalog (i.e. DSM/TC or TMF) if needed.
Page elements
Volume Label: Specifies the label of the first volume to create. To create more
than a single volume, the end of the label must be coherent with the “Quantity”
and “Increment Base” below.
Ex: 3 numeric digits are required to create 100 volumes in base 10.
Label Type: Indicates the volume label type. Values are: Unlabeled, ANSI,
Backup, IBM and TMF.
Comment: User comments describing the purpose or the content of the volume.
This comment is preserved with the volume in the catalog.
Volume Group: Selects the Volume Group to which to add the volume. The
Volume Group determines in which Data Store the volume will be created as well
as other attributes such as the associated DSM/TC pool.
Quantity: Indicates the number of volumes to be created. Only 1 to 999
volumes can be created at the time.
Increment Base: Select the base used to compute the next label to create
more than a single volume. By default, only numeric digits will be used (base
10). To create more volumes in a range of labels, use hexadecimal (base 16), or
hexadecimal extended to letter ‘Z’ (base 36).
Allow volume to be automatically mounted: Check to have the created
volume(s) automatically loaded when a mount request is issued in EMS.
