4.2.3 Registering a tape volume

When a tape that has been checked in as private (ie, "status=private" was specified) is used, the tape must be registered in a storage pool.

Tapes that are used as scratch need not be registered.

tsm> define volume <storage pool name> <volume name>

Point

Scratch volumes (volumes that have been checked in with the "status=scratch" option specified) need not be registered with the "define volume" command. TSM automatically registers volumes as necessary.

[Example] Register volume DAT001 in storage pool DAT-POOL.

tsm> define volume DAT-POOL DAT001

The following command can be used to check the status of the registered volume.

tsm> query volume <volume name> format=detail

The following command can be used to check the content of the registered volume.

tsm> query content <volume name> format=detail
