Adding Individual Tape Volumes

To add tape volumes to the resource pool, use the ADD/volsers command. Enter add/volsers on the command line, where volsers are the unique volume serial numbers of the tapes you want to add to the pool. The format for volsers is as follows:

• Volsers must be from one to six characters in length.
• Volsers can contain only alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9), and these special characters: the 'at' sign (@), the pound or hash sign (#), the dollar sign ($), and the dash (-).
• Duplicate volsers are not allowed within a pool or across pools. As you enter volsers, CA VM:Backup verifies each to ensure that it is unique.

You can add multiple tape volumes at one time by listing the appropriate volsers on the ADD command. Enter a blank between volsers. You cannot use pattern-matching characters.
