Update volume properties by changing the values of those properties in the volume definition.
| Information | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Volume name (Required) |
Specifies the name of the storage pool volume to be updated. You can specify a group of volumes to update by using wildcard characters in the volume name. You can also specify a group of volumes by specifying the storage pool, device class, current access mode, or status of the volumes you want to update. See the parameters that follow. |
| New access mode | Specifies the new access mode for
the volume (how users and server processes such as migration can access
files in the storage pool volume). See Access modes for storage pool volumes for
descriptions of access modes. A random-access volume must be varied offline before you can change its access mode to unavailable or destroyed. To vary a volume offline, use the VARY command. See Varying disk volumes online or offline. If a scratch volume that is empty and has an access mode of off-site is updated so that the access mode is read/write, read-only, or unavailable, the volume is deleted from the database. |
| Location | Specifies the location of the volume. This parameter can be specified only for volumes in sequential-access storage pools. |
| Storage pool | Restricts the update to volumes in the specified storage pool. |
| Device class | Restricts the update to volumes in the specified device class. |
| Current access mode | Restricts the update to volumes that currently have the specified access mode. |
| Status | Restricts the update to volumes with the specified status (online, offline, empty, pending, filling, or full). |
| Preview | Specifies whether you want to preview the update operation without actually performing the update. |
