Computer Drive User Manual

This window allows you to export tape and disk volumes from the HPSS system. Exporting a volume is
equivalent to telling HPSS that the volume no longer exists. Before volumes can be exported, the Core
Server storage resources that describe the volumes must be deleted using the procedure described in
Section 8.2.1: Deleting Storage Resources on page 240.
The list of the volumes to be exported may be constructed in any of three ways. Each volume name may
be typed in one at a time, or a list of volume names may be automatically generated from a single entry,
or a list of volume names may be specified from an input file. Volume names are not entered directly into
the Volume List at the bottom of the window.
Any of the three entry methods may be repeated multiple times on the same window to add additional
volumes to the list. All three entry methods or any combination of them may be used in succession on the
same window.
To add a single volume name to the Volume List, set the Fill Count and the Fill Increment fields each
to 1 and type the volume name into the Volume Label field. The volume name will be added to the
Volume 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 field.
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.
