This section describes only the fields used to generate a new list (option 2).

GENERATE A NEW LIST FROM CRITERIA BELOW

Complete the following fields if you selected option 2 (default) for SELECT SOURCE TO GENERATE VOLUME LIST:

VOLUME SERIAL NUMBER

Enter a full or partial serial number of the volume or volumes to include in the list. The default value is an asterisk.

To include a single volume, enter a fully qualified volume serial number of 1 to 6 characters:

      VOLUME SERIAL NUMBER ===> SYS001

For a partially qualified volume serial number, use asterisks as global volume serial number characters or percent signs as place holders.

For example, to include a range of volumes, enter a partially qualified volume serial number by using one or two asterisks as global volume serial number characters:

     VOLUME SERIAL NUMBER ===> SYS*

Two asterisks are the maximum number of volume serial number characters allowed.

Use a single asterisk to specify all volumes that fit your other selection criteria:

     VOLUME SERIAL NUMBER ===> *

This field is primed with the last value used. The default is *

LIBRARY NAME

Enter the 1 to 8 character name of an optical library, or a partially qualified name. This field is primed with the last value used. The default value is an asterisk.

STORAGE GROUP NAME

Enter the 1 to 8 character name of an SMS Object or Object Backup storage group, in the same way as you would for a volume serial number. This field is primed with the last value used. The default value is an asterisk.

OPTICAL MEDIA TYPE

Enter the 3 to 8 character name of the optical media type on which the volume resides. ALL is the default value. This field is primed with the last value used. Use the following values for optical media types:

3995WORM: 3995 single-, double-, quad-, and 8x-density, WORM, optical disk volumes
3995REWR: 3995 single-, double-, quad-, and 8x-density, rewritable, optical disk volumes

3995-1WO: 3995 single-density, WORM, optical disk volumes
3995-1RW: 3995 single-density, rewritable, optical disk volumes
3995-2: 3995 double-density, WORM and rewritable, optical disk volumes
3995-2WO: 3995 double-density, WORM, optical disk volumes
3995-2RW: 3995 double-density, rewritable, optical disk volumes
3995-4: All 3995 quad-density, rewritable or WORM, optical disk volumes
3995-4RW: All 3995 quad-density, rewritable, optical disk volumes
3995-4WO: All 3995 quad-density, WORM, optical disk volumes
