Parameters

library_name (Required)

Specifies the name of the library.

volume_name (Required)

Specifies the volume name of the storage volume.

STATus

Specifies a change to the status of a storage volume. Possible values are:

PRIvate: Specifies that the server updates the storage volume to a private volume.
SCRatch: Specifies that the server updates the storage volume to a scratch volume.

OWNer

Specifies which server owns a private volume in a shared library that is shared across a SAN. You can change the owner of a private volume in a shared library (SAN) when you issue the command from the library manager server. If you do not specify this parameter, the library manager server owns the private volume.

Important: Do not use OWNER as a value for scratch volumes. However, you can use OWNER when changing a scratch volume to private.

Example: Update a volume's status

Update the volume named WPDV00 located in the library named AUTO to reflect a status of PRIVATE.

update libvolume auto wpdv00 status=private
