movevol

Purpose

Use the movevol command to move a volume from one element to another element within a tape library. You can only move one volume at a time.

See Also:

"Library Commands" for related commands

Prerequisites

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

Syntax

movevol::=

mov•evol [ --library/-L libraryname | --drive/-D drivename ]
{ vol-spec | element-spec } element-spec

Semantics

--library/-L libraryname

Specifies the name of the library in which you want to move a volume.

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 in which you want to move a volume.

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-spec

Specifies the volume to be moved. Refer to "vol-spec" for a description of the vol-spec placeholder.

element-spec

Specifies the number of a storage element, import/export location, or a tape drive. Refer to "element-spec" for a description of the element-spec placeholder.

If you specify vol-spec, then element-spec represents the location to which the volume should be moved. If you specify element-spec twice, then the first represents the location from which the volume should be moved and the second represents the location to which the volume should be moved.

Example

Example 2-99 moves the volume in storage element 3 to the import/export element iee3. Note that the sample output has been reformatted to fit on the page.
