Volume Options

You can display the Volume Options window from any list panel in Robot Save that contains volume information. The options available on the Volume Options window allow you to perform media volume management functions. Because you can access these options from a number of panels, this section describes each of the volume options first, then discusses how to use the options on the Save Media Management Menu.

To display the Volume Options window, press F4 in the Opt column on any list panel that displays volume information to see the following list of volume options:

  • Show Volumes for a Rotation: Shows all volumes that are in the same backup set rotation as the selected volume.

  • Container and Location: Shows all volumes that are in the same container and location as the selected volume.

  • Display Volume Information: Shows all information available for the volume on one panel.

  • Move Volume Options: Allows you to move the volume to a new container or location. If it is a scratch tape, you can attach the volume to a backup set rotation. If the volume is attached to a rotation and has expired, you can move it to the scratch tape pool.

  • Volume Contents: Shows the objects stored on the volume, based on the object history. Because creating object history is optional, not all the objects on a volume may be shown.

  • Display Move History: Shows where the volume currently is located and where it has been, and the dates and locations of the moves.

  • Reserve for one system: Allows you to reserve the selected volume for use on a specific system.

  • Remove Reservation: Removes the reservation of a volume.

  • Remove Media Volume: Removes the volume from a rotation or from Robot Save’s tape management system.

  • Mark Volume for Label Print: Marks the volume record so that a label will print for the volume the next time labels are printed.

  • Volume Description Entry: Allows you to view or modify the volume description.

  • Volume Extended Text Entry: Allows you to enter additional information about the volume.
