Notes:
- The ELEMENT parameter is valid only for drives in SCSI libraries.
Parameters
- library_name (Required)
- Specifies the name of the library to which the drive is assigned.
- drive_name (Required)
- Specifies the name that is assigned to the drive.
- DEVIce
- Specifies the name of the device (that is, the special filename) that
corresponds to the drive. For example, you might specify
/dev/rmt/c0t3d0BEST. This parameter is optional. See
the DEVICE parameter description of the DEFINE DRIVE command for special
device names.
- ELEMent
- Specifies the element address of the drive within a SCSI library.
This parameter is optional and is only valid for a drive located in a SCSI
library. It is not required for drives in a library defined as
SHARED. To find the element address for your library configuration,
consult the manufacturer's information. You can also access the
TSM Web site at:
http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/tivolimain.html
. At this URL, follow the links to device information. You will
need to click on your product and platform and then scroll to the required
device. Click on your selected device to see element addresses.
- CLEANFREQuency
- Specifies how often the server activates drive cleaning. This
parameter is optional. For the most complete automation of cleaning for
an automated library, you must have a cleaner cartridge checked into the
library's volume inventory. For details on using this parameter for
automated and manual libraries, see Administrator's Guide.
Note: | Do not use drive cleaning that is controlled by the server for SCSI libraries
that have automatic drive cleaning support in their device hardware.
|
- NONE
- Specifies that the server does not track cleaning for this drive.
Use this parameter for libraries that have their own automatic
cleaning.
- ASNEEDED
- Specifies that the server loads the drive with a checked-in cleaner
cartridge only when a drive reports to the device driver that it needs
cleaning.
- value
- Specifies (in gigabytes) how much data will process on the drive before
lhe server loads the drive with a cleaner cartridge. The server resets
the gigabytes-processed counter each time it loads a cleaner cartridge in the
drive.
Consult the drive manufacturer's information for cleaning
recommendations. If the information gives recommendations for cleaning
frequency in terms of hours of use, convert to a gigabytes value by doing the
following:
- Use the bytes-per-second rating for the drive to determine a
gigabytes-per-hour value.
- Multiply the gigabytes-per-hour value by the recommended hours of use
between cleanings.
- Use the result as the cleaning frequency value.
Examples
Task
Update the drive named DRIVE3 located in the library named AUTO by changing
the element address to 119.
- Command:
- update drive auto drive3 element=119
