Chapter 14 ORBiT Library Manager
More OLM CI Commands
OLM CI commands are provided for various library management tasks, such as setting up a tape library for olm,
displaying library and volume information, or moving tape volumes within the library, or to and from the library.
One or more OLM CI commands may be entered after first running the OLM CI program, or one command may
be specified in the info string. OLM CI commands may be entered in all caps or all lowercase, but not mixed.
The only exception is that the device file name, which is only used in the ADD command, is case dependent.
Several library management tasks are described in this section to illustrate how to use the OLM CI program.
See Chapter 20, OLM Command Line Interface commands, in the BACKUP+/iX Reference Guide, for details on
syntax.
The following topics are presented here:
•
Deleting a library from OLM
•
Assigning a temporary default OLM host and library
•
Displaying library information
•
Connecting to the daemon
•
Loading and unloading tape volumes
•
Exporting tape volumes
•
Putting the tape library online or offline
Other topics are discussed in the preceding section.
Deleting a library from OLM
The DELETE command deletes an existing library from the library database so that olm is no longer configured
to control it.
If a tape library is no longer to be used with the host system, the DELETE command must be used to remove
the library records from the OLM database.
The following example deletes an OLM library named "dltchg", associated with the host system, "opus".
olm> DELETE LIBRARY opus:dltchg
