•

Both source and destination media must be of the same type 
and have the same block size and capacity. 

Requirements are illustrated by the following figure: 

Manufacturing variations make “equal” tapes have variable 
lengths. Consequently, AMASS does not check tape lengths 
before allowing you to do the 

volcopy

 process.

The system administrator must make sure the source and 
destination tapes are the same types. 

However, AMASS will check MO and WORM lengths.

•

Media is unknown to File System 
Database—it does not have a volume 

numbe

r.

•

Block size and capacity is same as source 
volume.

•

Load and unload the volumes with the 
mediamove utility.

•

During process, destination volume is flagged 
as IU (Inactive, Unformatted) and assigned to 
SP (space pool) volume group when 
displayed with the sysperf, sysop, and vollist 
commands.

•

Media is known to File System Database. 

•

Block size and capacity is same as destination 
volume.

•

Inlet and outlet the volumes with either the 
volinlet and voloutlet commands or the bulkinlet 
and bulkoutlet commands, depending on the 
library connection.

•

To prevent changes to the source volume, it is 
marked Read-Only after the volcopy process 
begins. The exception is the Backup Volume. 
AMASS recognizes the Backup Volume and 
leaves its’ status as read-write.
