TMSS10LibraryManager

TMSS10LibraryManager manages Scratch Volume levels within the Target Repository.

Metrics used to monitor Volume levels include Repository capacity, Volumes moving in and out of the Repository, minimum Scratch Volumes required, Repository Scratch levels, available Scratch Volumes from other Repositories and free slot requirements.

Synopsis

TMSS10LibraryManager [-C Customer-ID] [-M Media-ID] [-R Repository-ID] [-S logon string] [-T target repository] [-V volume filter] [-c configuration file] [-e ejection filter] [-f minimum free slots] [-r repository scratch order] [-s minimum scratch volumes]

Options

If an argument value starts with the value FI:, the value for that attribute will be read from the file name specified immediately after it. For example, if a file named ACME_volumes has the content ACME_*.*, specifying FI:/etc/ACME_volumes will have the same effect as -V ACME.*.*. Using FI: to refer to a file for an attribute value works for all attributes.

If the pattern being matched starts with *LIST: then rather than matching the literal value, each record in the file specified as *LIST:filename will be tested. If one matches the match will succeed.
