Unload Tape
Outlet media when media does not reside in the mailbox.
Step 1. Unload media using the voloutlet command.
Step 2. Remove the media after the library has moved each
volume from its home storage slot to the mailbox.
Restrict Media Ranges
Prior to running install_tests or starting AMASS, restrict
the media ranges used by AMASS by editing the
/usr/amass/.juke/media_file_libname file.
Automatic CAP Mode
When the cartridge access port (CAP) is in “set cap mode
automatic 0,0,0
”, this allows the ACSLS software to
physically move media in and out of the library.
To synchronize the media locations with the AMASS File
System Database, use the AMASS bulkload command
afterwards:
• Using bulkload -s 0 will synchronize the AMASS
database with the actual contents of the library by adding all
new tapes found in the library to the database. Existing
media in the database will not have their volume group
assignments changed. But newly added media will not be
assigned to any volume group.
• After using either bulkoutlet or voloutlet, the media
is moved to the CAP. Open the CAP door and remove the
media from the door cell. After the door has been closed,
the voloutlet command successfully terminates.
