  1. Pull all volumes that are to go into the system-managed tape library and physically load them.
  2. Run the inventory process of the system-managed tape library and let it drive the adding of volumes to the volume catalog. This also flags the volume location as an automated tape library, but does not change the home location name.
  3. Use the RMM SEARCHVOLUME subcommand with the CLIST operand to create a CLIST to create CHANGEVOLUME commands for all the volumes in the library to set the HOME location to the automated tape library. For example, specify:
    RMM SEARCHVOLUME VOLUME(A*) LIMIT(*) -
        OWNER(*) LOCATION(ATL1) -
        CLIST('RMM CHANGEVOLUME ',' HOME(ATL1)')
    If you do not change the home location name, all private volumes are eligible for moving out of the automated tape library when you next run vital record processing as part of inventory management.
  4. If you have volumes in storage locations that you want returned to the system-managed tape library when they no longer need to be retained, change the volume HOME location from SHELF to the library name, using the RMM CHANGEVOLUME subcommand. For example, specify:
    RMM SEARCHVOLUME VOLUME(A*) LIMIT(*) -
        OWNER(*) LOCATION(LOCAL) -
        CLIST('RMM CHANGEVOLUME ',' HOME(ATL1)')
