extractvol

Purpose

Use the extractvol command to notify Oracle Secure Backup that you have manually removed or are removing one or more volumes from the library. You can specify the source of volume you are extracting.

Note that you do not need to use the extractvol command if you issue the inventory command after removing the volumes.

See Also:

"Library Commands" for related commands

Prerequisites

You must have the right to manage devices and change device state to use the extractvol command.

Syntax

extractvol::=

extr•actvol [ --library/-L libraryname | --drive/-D drivename ]
{ vol-range | se-range }

Semantics

--library/-L libraryname

Specifies the name of the library from which you want to extract volumes.

If you do not specify --library or --drive, then Oracle Secure Backup uses the value of the library or drive variable. Oracle Secure Backup issues a warning if it can obtain neither the library nor drive setting.

--drive/-D drivename

Specifies the name of a tape drive in the library from which you want to extract volumes.

If you do not specify --library or --drive, then Oracle Secure Backup uses the value of the library or drive variable. Oracle Secure Backup issues a warning if it can obtain neither the library nor drive setting.

vol-range

Specifies the volumes to be extracted. Refer to "vol-range" for a description of the vol-range placeholder. Execute the lsvol command to display volume information.

se-range

Specifies a range of storage elements from which volumes are to be extracted. Refer to "se-range" for a description of the se-range placeholder.

Example

Example 2-36 notifies Oracle Secure Backup that the volume in storage element 1 of library lib1 has been manually removed. Note that the sample lsvol output has been reformatted to fit on the page.
