Computer Drive User Manual

Fill Count = 6
Fill Increment = 10
Volume Label = "AA0070"
Labels automatically inserted into Volume List:
"AA0070"
"AA0080"
"AA0090"
"AA0100"
"AA0110"
"AA0120"
When an addition produces overflow in a column, numerical columns are carried over properly to
alphabetic columns and vice versa.
Example:
Fill Count = 6
Fill Increment = 2000
Volume Label= "AA7329"
Labels automatically inserted into Volume List:
"AA7329"
"AA9329"
"AB1329"
“AB3329”
“AB5329”
“AB7329”
The filling will not occur and an error will be displayed if the specified values would generate an invalid
volume label (e.g., one greater than zzz999).
To specify a list of volumes from a file, create a file containing the name of each volume to be exported
on a separate line. Volume names must be six alphanumeric characters. No other characters are allowed
on the line. The file must be accessible from the host on which the hpssgui is executing. Enter the name
of the file in the File Containing Volume List field. The volume names from the file will be added to
the Volume List.
The entire list of volumes is sent to the System Manager as a single export request. The System Manager
processes them one at a time, and if it encounters an error, it stops and returns. In this case, the window
status line will report the number of successful exports, and the volume name that caused the failure.
Since the System Manager does not ignore volumes that have already been exported, but instead
considers them failed exports, you cannot retry an export by resubmitting the same list of volumes. You
will first have to remove the successfully exported volumes from the list. The Clear Selected button can
be useful for this.
Once the export is completed, cartridges residing in robotic tape systems will be ejected by the
controlling PVR (if Eject Tapes after Exporting is selected) and should be removed from the access
port of the robot.
