Add cartridges in HPSS

Adding storage space to the HPSS system means creating new virtual volumes and adding them to a storage class.
Creating new virtual volumes in a storage class is a two-step process. 
It will be done using the HPSS GUI. Log-in hpss core, and call GUI:
/opt/hpss/bin/hpssgui.pl &
Fill-in:
User-id:     gui-user
Password:    gui-password

1.Import Volumes

In the first step, the physical volumes that will be gathered into the new Core Server virtual volumes are imported by the PVL.
GUI-->Operations-->Resources-->Import Tape Volumes

Choose "PVR":                         "STK_01 PVR" (STK Library) or "IBM_IU1_01 PVR"
Choose "Max Number of Drives":         1           (how many drives will be used for labeling)
Choose "Media Type":                  "STK-T10000D" or "IBM 3592 E07 XL Tape"
Fill in "FillCount":                   (put here the number of tapes you want to import)
Fill in "Volume Label":                (put here the Label of first cartridge)

2.Create Resources

In the second step, metadata for the new volumes is created by the Core Server;this process is called creating storage resources
