Adding a silo volume

1. In the Administration window, click Devices.
2. Open the Libraries folder in the navigation tree. The Libraries detail table appears.
3. Double-click a silo in the Libraries detail table to open the double-paned library operations view. The silo’s drives are listed in the Device column, and its slots are listed in the Slot column.

5. Select either Template or List to enter barcode volume identifiers.

   • The Template option allows the use of wildcards in creating a list of barcode IDs. Each entry should be on a separate line. For example, to name four tapes A01B, A02B, A03B, and A04B, type:

     A0
1-4
B

   • The List option allows the entry of barcode IDs, separately. Each entry should be on a separate line. For example, type the name for each tape:

     A01B
A02B
A03B
A04B
6. Type the appropriate volume identifiers in the Barcodes field.
7. Click OK (or Cancel, to continue adding to the list).

   • Click "+" to add an entry.

   • Click "<-" to insert above a highlighted selection.

   • Click "-" to delete an entry.

     The Library Operation window displays this message:

     The library operation has started.

     The Monitoring > Operations > screen displays the status.
