Description

Filter By

A list of the criteria by which you can filter the volumes that you want to import into the library. Select one of the following:

  • None - Selects all available volumes.

  • Scratch Pool - Specify the scratch pool for which you want volumes displayed.

  • Volume Range - Specify the start and end of the volume range you want to select.

  • Volume Regular Expression - Specify a regular expression that describes the Volume ID labels for the volumes you want to select. For example, enter AK1* to see a list of Volume ID labels starting with AK followed by zero or more occurrences of 1.

  • Physical Location in Library - Specify the Storage Module, Panel, Row ID Range, and Column ID Range values for which you want to select volumes.

Not Access From

The date (or range of dates) on which the volumes you want to select have not been accessed. You must enter at least one date in the first text field. To enter a range of dates, enter another date in the second text field. For example, to specify that the list of volumes you want to select from should not have been accessed between March 1, 2006, and March 15, 2006, enter 2006-03-1 in the first field and 2006-03-15 in the second field. Excluding volumes that have been recently accessed ensures that you do not import a volume that is being used by another application.
