libvolume does not apply. Therefore there is no concept of checking volumes in
and out.
For devices in automated libraries (such as a tape autochanger), Tivoli Storage
Manager interacts with the library to mount volumes, but sends messages when
the library needs attention from an operator. Tivoli Storage Manager also tracks
the inventory of media in each automated library.
The steps that you need to perform to send data off-site are:
1. Back up your vital data to the copy storage pools.
2. List all volumes that must be sent off-site.
3. Check out volumes from the library.
4. Update the volume location to off-site.
Back up your vital data
Use the backup stgpool command to create copies of files that reside in a primary
storage pool and store them in a copy storage pool, as shown in Example 13-35.
File versions are only copied if they do not already exist in the copy storage pool.
If a file is already present in the specified copy storage pool, then it is not
recopied. However, if a copy of a physical file already exists in the copy storage
pool, but the copy is marked damaged, a new copy will be created, provided that
the primary physical file is not also marked damaged. The following commands
back up on-site data from the DISKDATA and DISKDIRS storage pools to the
OFFDATA and DISKDIRS storage pools, respectively. This task can also be
automated using a server script, as shown in Example 12-5 on page 380.
