Adding a Series of Tape Volumes

To add a range of tape volumes to the resource pool without having to specify them individually, use the SERIES/number startvolser command. Enter series/number startvolser on the command line, where number indicates the total number of tape volumes in the series, and startvolser is the first volser in the range.

Example

To add 50 consecutively numbered tape volumes to a pool, ranging from BN0000 to BN0049, from the command line, enter the following command:

series/50 bn0000

Note: The number of leading and trailing zeros and the number of digits in the volser is significant. If you specify a five-digit starting volser, CA VM:Backup returns a range of five-digit volsers.
