Managing Drives

To add a drive to the database with the options you want:

mmsadm create -t drive -o options=x drive-name

To modify an entry in the database after you have created it:

mmsadm set -t drive -o options=x drive-name

To change the status of a drive so that it is unavailable:

mmsadm set -t drive -o state=offline drive-name

You do this when you know the drive is not available and do not want to include it in subsequent searches and displays. At a later time, you can reset the drive to be available:

mmsadmset -t drive -o state=online drive-name

To delete a drive from the MMS configuration:

  1. Verify that the drive is not in use.
  2. Delete the drive from the configuration:

    mmsadm delete -t drive drive_name
