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
