exportvol

Purpose

Use the exportvol command to move one or more volumes to the import/export mechanism for removal from the library. Typically, you export volumes in bulk. This command is supported only for libraries that have import/export slots.

See Also:

"Library Commands" for related commands

Prerequisites

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

Syntax

exportvol::=

exp•ortvol [ --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 export volumes. If a library is specified, then there are no limitations placed on the storage elements to be exported. If there are an insufficient number of vacant import/export elements to fulfill the request, then obtool reports that the command could not be fully executed.

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 export volumes. If a drive is specified, then all of the elements must belong to the use list of the drive.

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 exported. Refer to "vol-range" for a description of the vol-range placeholder.

se-range

Specifies the storage elements containing the volumes to be exported. Refer to "se-range" for a description of the se-range placeholder.

Example

Example 2-35 exports volume VOL000003. Note that the sample output has been reformatted to fit on the page.
